I think Ortiz would be the worst possible opponent for joe, although he looked lackluster lately i think he struggled to get up for those fights.

Hes carlos takam with a lot more skill and a lot more power

...and a southpaw. I would rate AJ and Wilder ahead of Ortiz in relation to troubling Parker. But they're all right up there. Joe CAN beat all three. Not on the same night, of course. But he's really got to improve.

IMO Parker struggles the most with Povetkin and Ortiz. I'd pick them to beat him fairly comfortably at this stage.

You're saying he'll get out-boxed. I say he'll get out-gunned. Interesting debate. Truth is, I don't have a clue, and won't even after Hughie. Once those 5 or 6 top fighters fight each other, their deficiencies will become more apparent to me.
