What a great article.
Yep - the risks are real. And without Duco, Parker would be nowhere.
I honestly think Parker has an ok chance against AJ. He is not the finihed article yet with massive chunks in his armour.

I don't think he's got any chance.
Parker is static and much smaller than those super heavies we saw today. Joshua would just buzzsaw through him when he felt like it.

Klitscho gone now. AJ will reign, Wilder the only threat, and a worthy one to boot. Parker comes in the wrong era of big men unfortunately.
Parker is about an inch shorter than those guys and it suits him just fine.
He also has broad-back super-Samoan genes!
Much speedier than AJ. Wait and see
Parker can only win in the exchanges, not if he boxes him. Like you say, AJ would walk through him. Parker would have to catch him with combos.
Let's be honest though. AJ beat a 41 year old man who's in decline and looked ordinary against Jennings and Fury. And AJ almost got ko'd against him if not for Klit not being able to pull the trigger. Great victory from a guy who stepped up in competition, but let's keep this in perspective.
Perhaps we might see something of Ortiz in the near future, he never seems to feature. AJ might be the one to dispel the myth about this guy, he has to be on the radar somewhere.

Yeah I hope the WBA force a mandatory there for AJs next bout as I would love to see how good Ortiz is at the top level. Hopefully not Pulev.
