Why no threads about Joseph Parker?

Not really, Joshua will still be IBF champ, parker will be mandatory. When those two fight we'll see who's what and who's not. True. I hope the fight gets made soon.

Because people are giving him credit for fighting takam instead of martin and putting him over Joshua when the only reason is because parker was forced to. It'll all be moot if he beats him, won't it?

Well according to some people on this forum, he is the next big thing, and for whatever reason hate the fact that AJ is starting to get popular so they bring up Parker like he is better than him, when that clearly isn't the case. Is it? Depending on how the Takam fight goes we'll learn a lot about Parker's future in the division. If he beats him then he leaps ahead of Joshua, if he loses then he's a bust.

Its not regardless though is it Don't try to make out parker is so.e throwback who doesn't care about belts and just wants to fight the best, he went looking for that easy belt just like Joshua did And now he's fighting Takam. I don't see what you're complaining about here.

This is definitely one of the best recent heavyweight fights, cannot wait I got Parker by UD but Takam is a real live dog

1. Wilder was going to be fighting povetkin, who brutally ktfo takam so no. 2. Team Parker tried to secure a fight with martin for the IBF but couldn't afford it so have no choice but to go down the mandatory route. Let's keep it real yeah Regardless of whether they tried to go after Martin or not they're fighting Takam now, who's considerably more dangerous than that big tittied, dreadlocked, goggle eyed, lanky flukemonger.

Because hes only fought bums /thread

There are no threads about parker because he has only ever faced bums. Beat takam in style then people will start talking about him. Wilder fought bums for years and you had plenty of threads about him. You're right though, this will definitely be his breakout fight. If he wins.

He is fighting in Australia so nobody cares right now but Boxing Fans are aware of him Great test for him though! If he destroys Takam the Buzz will pick up for him. He will have to come to the States or sign with HBO or Showtime to show his fights to get more attention though

Parker is a ferocious wolverine. His fury will be too much for Takam. He's gonna beat that body up and dust him right on the button by round 8.

Parker's last fight if anyone's interested.

I actually forgot the fight was on this weekend. Shame on me. I think Parker is the goods, and Takam is a legit test, so I'm expecting some real fireworks come Saturday. Not sure how I see this going. Parker looked a bit flaky in his last fight, so I'm a little worried about how he'll handle Takam. He certainly can't just wade in all guns blazing and expect to get the knockout. Takam's as tough as they come and experienced to boot. Hopefully Kevin Barry will have come up with a gameplan that involves utilising Parker's speed and height advantage to break Takam down from the outside and stop him late, but Takam's a difficult nut to crack and won't go down without a fight. Genuinely nervous for this one.

I'll definitely be watching. Takam is in my personal top 10 along with Parker just above. I think it's a genuine 50/50 and will be a close fight. If Parker can get Takam out of there then he jumps above Joshua in my eyes, that's a fight we can all look forward to, the 2 best HW prospects

This is a damn good fight and I think it will be a barnburner. It's on Parker now. If he can win impressively it will turn a lot of heads. He's a really good young HW, very old school, very fluid and natural. Defence has to tighten up but his power is really good and his hands are FAST.

I'm pumped about this fight. I've had my eye on Parker for a while and I'm looking forward to this step up. This is a real fight and should be a real back and forth type of battle. I'm going with Parker by late stoppage or UD but I wouldn't be shocked by any result. Takam is a tough dude and looks in great shape too. What more could boxing fans ask for? We got 2 Heavyweights in extremely good shape ready to put on a show!! Certainly beats talking about ppv numbers, catchweights and ducking!!

I thought you people cared about the sport of boxing? This Takam fight is mega and the entire boxing world should be buzzing. Parker is getting a legit test early in his career and no one is talking about it. SMH. If I scan sherdog for mma threads those nerds are talking about undercard women fights with PASSION. Here on Boxingscene people like to talk contracts, PPV ratings and A side more than actual fights. It's why I think boxing is dying. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/images/icons/icon11.gif Takam is a test and a move up in quality for Parker but Takam is hardly a world beater. If Parker beats him, it'd be impressive but hardly world changing. What's weird is, we have more talk about PPV numbers and Mayweather fighting some MMA has been than we do about the impending, lineal heavyweight championship clash.

There is nothing that amazing about Parker, he's going to be that level just below the elite. Nothing wrong with that, he's a very good fighter. Takam is pretty average and got brutally ktfo by povetkin so he's got no chin left. Parker will tko him around round 9. Predictable. Do you see fury & Ortiz as the only two elite heavyweights then?

parker's fighting someone better than wilder or joshua and they are champs lol
