    I'm watching. Joshua will have no trouble with Parker.

    In fact he wouldn't have any trouble with either. He'd take out Parker inside 3.

    Parker hasn't done anything to concern Joshua, Fury, Haye or Wilder in my view. Bit flat really?

    Disappointing fight. Credit to Parker battling through his fatigue and looking more composed now.

    Takam, clearly past it. Had little desire to win.

    I wouldn't like to be in Parker's boots when he meets Joshua.

    Agreed Cyc. I can just see Parker throwing a punch, Joshua steps back and bang, good night.

    See the difference in body shape between the two? Takam was a ball of muscle around the shoulders and upper arm, while Parker looked like a big kid. If he's not on the drugs, he needs to be. <laugh>

    No mate I thought judges got it bang on, I was trying to be sarcastic given the amount of **** scoring there has been recently

    That was embarrassing. How did they manage to get that guy a 29-0 record. Haye had a harder workout against Jack Whitehall in League of Their Own a few years back. Freddie Flintoff could have nailed that oppo. Piss poor.

    Absolutely embarrassing Haye celebrating that. Reckons yer man 'had a good chin' lol But hey, lets not forget, this crap is on Dave 'the home of witty banter' so Haye is fitting right in with that tripe he's coming out with. Joker

    ... and Shannon Briggs looked old enough to be my grandad. They both had easy nights tonight. Should be a great fight when they meet in September <laugh>

    Haye looks great against paper records and smaller heavyweights.

    The minute people throw back at him he ****s it because he hasn't got the chin. Haye has the power and speed to be a good heavy but he absolutely **** himself against a Klitschko jab and ran for 12 rounds. Against Joshua he'd have to throw leather early and catch Ant without being hit back- it's possible but risky.

    But that's the heavyweight division. All the greats were knocked out once.

    I think it would be wrong to claim Ali got knocked out. Have a read of this:

    "Younger, stronger, and in his prime, the 31 year old Larry Holmes (35-0), the WBC Heavyweight Champion, was matched up against an old, shopwarn Muhammad Ali (56-4) who was likely in the early stages of Parkinson's Disease, a disorder of the brain that slows one's reflexes and eventually leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination.

    Unbeknownst to many, three months before the fight, Ali was ordered by the Nevada Athletic Commission to visit the Mayo Clinic for a neurological exam. The results exam were not made public at the time but contained the following results (source:BoxRec):

    • Muhammad Ali was a little off when he tried to touch his finger to his nose.
    • He had trouble coordinating his speech, and
    • The fight legend couldn't hop on one foot well.
    Despite the poor results, Nevada approved the fight with Holmes.

    In an absolutely disgusting bout, the 31 year old champion dismantled the 38 year old legend in 10 rounds of a scheduled 15 round bout. There were no knockdowns, but Holmes dominated the fight and was given every round by all three judges. Finally, Ali's corner stopped the fight after the tenth round.

    The TKO marked the first and only time Ali was stopped inside the distance in his 61 fight pro career".
