Jo fought them early on and has progressed since then. What I'm getting at is jo is progressing Alot faster than Dillian, even tho the body snatched would give jo some trouble I would confidently put it at 70/30 to parker, giving Dillan the punches chance. As for AJ opponents it's been pretty good, AJ has been in with some big men, breazeale, Martin (south paw), the highlander lol. He has the experience against men taller and this will help him again the other belt holders. Parker has only been in with Mehan, Nacimento and Daniel Martz wich is pretty bad. AJ is another level than the Takam fight but a total different style. Can't wait 60/40 leaning towards AJ but hoping for Parker.
I'd favour Parker over Whyte. I have it closer than yourself and wouldn't be surprised if Whyte won. But I probably rate Whyte higher than the normal boxing fan. He was a professional two time British kickboxing champion and one time European champion before he was 20. I know it's not boxing but the guy knows how to fight. I'm leaning towards and hoping for an AJ win but I'd be cheering for Parker against any non brit.
What do any of you guys think about JP's speed? And specifically his hand speed. I think he's got the fastest hands out of the top 20 heavyweights, but I also think he sacrifices his technique abit for speed.
