Good seeing the video of Parker watching the AJ fight live.

Takam is a really tough fight in itself and will reveal a lot about Parker. I'd love to see him relocating to the UK if he comes through it to build some momentum on these shores.

Fury, AJ, Haye, Parker all in the same country.

In terms of stats, Parker is the youngest at 24 years old but is a good size at 6'4 and 240 lbs, 76' reach, compared to AJ at 6'6 and 244 lbs, 82' reach.

Parker has very fast hands, but his reach does seem a little short - Haye is 78' while Fury is 85'.

Agreed...good to see Parker keeping up with things and understanding that there's a world out there.

If he gets past Takam surely he could have a crack at Browne in a big Down Under payday and showdown?
Admittedly, Lucas has got 'issues' but if he is able to box that's a great fight for Parker and a win over Browne gets him right to the top table.

These stats are only relevant if you can actually use them at elite level, otherwise it's meaningless.

No one had greater stats than Valuev, and a 46 year old (92 in ring years) Evander Holyfield waltzed to a win over him.
