But lets remember Whyte dominated Joshua in their amateur bout, dropping and hurting him (and it was Whyte's first boxing bout I believe). Both guys have improved since then. Whyte had the 2 year ban and Joshua has gone from strength to strength. I'm expecting a cracking fight!JP's only 23 - he's younger than all those guys.
Dominic Breazeale is taking on Fred Kassi (the guy who arguably defeated Arreola), and Gerald Washington is fighting Amir Mansour.
These prospects are all starting to step up. I hope Parker doesn't get left behind.
Washington is 33 and Brezeale is 30
I'm more worried about him being rushed than left behind
Is Parker fighting the kind of guys that is going to help his development? Sure he's younger but a win for either Washington or Breazeale puts them in the mix and gets them recognition. What does a win over Meehan do for Parker? Sure it's another small step up but it's not even a blimp on the world scene.
