I have watched Parker since he was WBO champion, beating Ruiz and Hughie in his title defences. I did not rate him as a top tier heavyweight and he handed the title to AJ when they faced one another in the unification bout.
Since Parker joined Andy Lee he has got considerably better, more aggressive and exciting to watch.
I predicted Parker would lose to Joyce and beat Wilder (as did Primo). So know Joseph is now a top tier heavyweight and should face Fury v Usyk winner for the title.
This fight is really tough for Parker.
Zhang is a huge unit, southpaw and coming from 2 sensational wins against Joyce. Unless Zhang gets old, tires quickly in the contest and Parker's speed is too much for him I can only see Zhang winning.
Saying all that I would be rooting for Joseph Parker.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I have to agree with Al. As much as I would like to see Parker do well (my youngest brother is a massive fan? ) I can't see him being able to avoid Zhang all night who will throw a lot more than Milder , and will simply walk through a lot of Parkers work. Zhang to stop him at some point.
I'm probably biased but I think Parker is a very live dog in this fight
He's shown improvement with each fight under Andy Lee
Zhang is 40 & has never had the best gas tank
He looked frightening against Joyce twice
But Joyce's art of defending with his head was always going to run into trouble against a puncher eventually
I just can't shake the image of how bad Zhang looked only a few years ago against Jerry Forrest
I think Parkers biggest asset going into this fight is Andy Lee
He was a genuine southpaw & will have Parker well schooled on fighting a southpaw
It won't be easy but I see Parker taking another big heavyweight scalp
Rooting for Zhang big time. Great story and is earning every bit bigger fights. I'm just glad we have two top dogs coming off of great momentum and going right at the other. I was impressed with Parker dominating Wilder. Kept poise and worked a top game plan. What I worry about with Zhang is late stamina, he'll have to keep a faster pace with Parker but overall, like Zhang to win. But I wouldn't sleep on Parker and his career reboot.
If Joyce who is slower than a than the mummy, can outwork and stop Parker. Big Bang will punch holes through him.

I’m really not sure about this one, it’s a proper 50-50 match up in my book.
I’ve never rated Wilder , but Parker must get some confidence and momentum from beating him.
But I don’t want to underestimate Zhang, he deserves respect.
I’m gonna go with Parker on points. But don’t ask me tomorrow because I might go with Zhang.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Just consider that the best showing of Zhang came vs the same slow as a mummy Joyce and one after the 1st battering and busted eye. And he pooped out with an almost as slow Hrgovic just prior. Wouldn't be shocked to see a nice equally fast pace early to mid. Just looking forward to that one, for me it's the main event on the card with the circus main event.
