Heard Colonel Bob on Radio Sport an hour ago. His pearls of wisdom are as follows:
1) This fight is not a walk in the park for Joe.
2) KB doesn't get the credit he deserves for turning out quality boxers.
3) Parker is a better boxer than Wilder or AJ. He would give AJ angles, spin him around, and use his speed and boxing skills.
4) Parker has the perfect body of a heavyweight, with AJ being too muscular.
I wrote it all down, as I knew I'd want to post it for all to see.
Hey guys getting abs is actually down to one thing, diet. Genetics has nothing to do with ab definition. Genetics only plays a part in shape and equalness of the abs . That's how I know Parker doesn't eat bad but doesn't eat to the best standards. It's time to go to another level in training methods and diet.
We know boxing isn't always about who has the best body or muscles but in this day and age, every little advantage helps. Eating right and having the right recovery and training methods are key for improving. Parker has completely stalled in development, I hope we see an improvement soon.

Agree with AJ too muscular, showed up the way he punche'd out with Klit. ..too tight.
The rest of what Sheridan said is shit!

Not true, bopman. Abs are a muscle like any other muscle in the body, and is definitely influenced by genetics. And as you say, diet, as well as working the muscle by exercising it. But I agree with everything else you say. If his shoulders and elbows have wear and tear beyond a typical boxers soreness, he's not working out right. A physio can only minimise the damage. My take on it: he's over-training, not eating right to develop his muscles, and not using the right exercises to maximize his strength and mimimise his injuries. I put it all down to KB, who's responsible for managing his training.
I very much doubt JPs body is all down to what he eats, and how he trains. Izu lives with KB as well (eats the same food I'm sure), trains with JP, and look at him.
I do think genetics play a big part.

It's a shame but over the last two years Joes best boxing has been in the gym not the ring.
Very True. The Overtraining is a real Issue

Totally agree die. Sometimes elbows etc need a long layoff to improve to a start again point. Even though for most part I coached rather than box I always suffered with both elbows and had cortisone injections from time to time but never healed anything while blunting the pain. You can only use cortisone about 3 times in the same place before an adverse effect causing weak tissue. I had the problem with constant pad work. Weights can flame things up as well.
Tony Bellew throws multiple barbs at Joseph Parker as prospect of heavyweight clash in UK heats up
There is not much being held back by Tony Bellew as talk of a potential clash with Joseph Parker gains traction.
Tony Bellew has lashed Joseph Parker with criticism as the prospects of a world heavyweight title clash between the pair in the UK continue to heat up.
Outspoken Brit Bellew has emerged as a strong contender to be the next opponent for Kiwi WBO champion Parker, should he defend his belt against Romanian Razvan Cojanu in Auckland on Saturday night.
A converted cruiserweight, Bellew has swiftly risen to prominence since his win over countryman and former world champion David Haye in March and Parker's promoters Duco are enticed by a fight which would raise their fighter's profile in the booming British scene, potentially setting up a unification bout with superstar IBF and WBA champion Anthony Joshua.
The Kiwi WBO heavyweight world champion has thrown a few punches of his own about what could be his first pro fight on UK soil.
Parker and Bellew last week engaged in a war of words on Twitter and in a column for Sky Sports UK on Saturday (NZT), the 34-year-old Liverpudlian stepped things up a notch.
Although admitting he felt Parker was not a weak fighter, Bellew rated Parker as the world's third best heavyweight behind Joshua and WBC champion Deontay Wilder before claiming his own last opponent, Haye, was better than both Parker and Wilder.
"Parker is having a laugh with his 22-0 record," Bellew said.
"The best name on his record is Carlos Takam. I'm 1-0 as a heavyweight and my record is better than Parker and Wilder's put together. That's not up for debate, it's a fact.
"I slapped Hayemaker 2:0 all over the ring and that's better than any win from Wilder or Parker."
Bellew's 11th-round technical knockout win against Haye hugely boosted his standing, meaning he can now command much bigger sums of money and holds plenty of power in the ever-present negotiating process involved with setting up a fight.
While the Parker camp and Parker himself have confirmed Saturday's title defence against Cojanu would almost definitely be his last fight in New Zealand for some time, Bellew made it clear a potential bout would only go ahead on his terms.
"If the figures add up, I'd fight Parker," Bellew said in his column.
"I'm not going to go to New Zealand because I'm the third biggest draw in the heavyweight division behind Joshua and Tyson Fury.
"In terms of the calibre of fighter and the name, Parker is a step backwards for me. But he's got a world heavyweight title and that's what I want."
Bellew has not fought since breaking his right hand in the "second or third round" of his win over Haye.
But the confident Merseysider, who has a 29-2-1 record as a professional, has been able to stay in the spotlight through his role as a pundit and was present for Joshua's dramatic 11th-round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko in London.
Bellew said he punched again for the first time this week with no bad reactions and could not resist one final jab at the WBO champion he could well be set to clash with in the coming months.
"I haven't banged hard, but I've punched hard enough to put Parker on his backside."

Parker doesn't look great but it wont matter for this one, let him take it easy then kick it up a gear for the big fights
