Which is why chisora would ve a good fight for joe as he will come forward throwing punches.
Although maybe someone with a bit more pop would be better. Joe needs to feel some power before stepping in with AJ.

I want Parker to fight a top ranked guy. Hughie would be interesting with his awkward style. Would prefer for Miller to step in if Hughie is a no go. Then Bellew, and then AJ if he keeps winning. BUT, he's gotta do something with his defense to have a chance against AJ. With Hughie and Bellew, it won't matter as he'll be the aggressor.
Hi die i am an amateur boxing coach. In all honesty I have never hated or disliked any boxer, even ones that beat our boys. We try to teach our boys to be the same. I believe in loyalty, boxing is built on it. Tua was our best, Joe got a way to go but he will equal or surpass him. The Fury fight is a waste of time, I know it is a mandatory BUT shouldn't of been made. I worry joe is unfortunately getting too big for NZ he will have to fight in the states or England to get the respect and rewards.
Die, meant no disrespect. Love you heaps.
I see you mention AJ in your post, do you think AJ will beat Wlad? I be tinkin Wlad is gunna stop this circus of wannabes in dramatic style. My fingers are crossed. .
Personally i don't belive joe will surpass Tua.
Belts are like tic tacs these days so i look at firm and quality of wins too.
Tua in all honesty was a special fighter, superb.
Moorer, Ruiz, oqurndo, rahman, and many more great wins.
One of the best heavyweight wars in history with a legitimate monster in ike ibeabuci. Which its debatable who won.
Tua was a force of nature, being a lazy tainer and in possibly the best heavyweight era ever kept him from a belt. If he had a shot at a vacant belt vs andy ruiz, he would have blasted ruiz into oblivion inside 90 seconds.
But i doubt we ever see parker in as monumental a dight as tua-ike. He doesnt have that in him.
Tua is one of my favorites of all time

Well said inferno
Interestingly Tua's 23rd fight was Ruiz who was 25/2. Parkers 23 fight will be Fury who is 20/0
After the Ruiz fight Tua went back to bums for 4 more fights before his first loss to Ike.
Keep these things in mind when comparing the two fighters. Parker is still young and learning

Hear hear!! - Absolutely valid points. Tua was Class. Sorry, Parker is not. V.
Yep, I put Tua ahead of Parker right now. If he'd stayed with Duva, there's no telling how far he could have gone. He trained hard (for him) and was in shape. Question for Fistic Fury: How come he never learned to slip a jab from a taller fighter? I always felt that was his big downfall, in addition to his training and weight. Could he do it in the amateurs, but not the pros when he stepped up?
Sham, I honestly don't know. If I had to bet, I'd have to put my money on AJ. Mainly because of Klit's age and Klits last fight. But AJ has never really been tested, so I go back and forth.
Regarding Parker: He can beat Takam and Ruiz, but AJ, Wilder, Tyson Fury, Ortiz, are a whole 'nother level. Like AJ, the verdict is still out.
AJ and Wilder are both still pretty unproven. Too early to say just how good they are considering they haven't beaten an elite fighter.
I can't wait until the AJ fight. I hope AJ wins, as I detest Wlad's dodgy practices in the Fury fight, and others. In saying that I fully expect Wlad to jab AJ's poor head off and smash him into oblivion inside 6 rounds. I strongly feel AJ should have had at least a couple of decent step up fights before facing Wlad, even if he is faded.

True, you can add Ortiz to those two, and Parker. Maybe even Tyson Fury, given the Klit he faced plus his mental and physical problems. Hopefully, it'll all get sorted out in 2017.
