A lot of questions raised by that fight, and Parker and Barry know it.
Remember this is a team that said they would have knocked out Klitschko and Fury, and this and that, a lot of crowing, but after that fight there was zero mention of Joshua and a lot of "things to work on"
Takam, is what he is, a tough trial horse who doesn't really excel in any area and 36 year old pressure fighters don't have long left in the game...
Joe did what he needed to do but he looked flawed in a lot of areas, I can't help but think of how much bigger Joshua is, and the power... I mean joshua is so much bigger than takam and he hits so much harder it's not even funny. If Takam had fought like that against Joshua i don't see him lasting 5 rounds, he would have been blasted out.
A lot of work needed, joe needs 1 year minimum, but i'd say more like 18 months, against the likes of the duhaupas, the glazkovs, then onto the pulevs etc.
They need to get back to movement and quickness, joe was wandering backwards around the ring with his hands down tonight, against any top puncher in the division, Joshua, Wilder, Haye, he would have gotten decapitated.
I praise joe for his heart, and his courage, but he needs serious, serious work.
