My take on Joshua Parker.

Loyola is up 29-22 over Michigan. Just kidding. This was a jab fest where both guys didn't take any chances. Joshua won the fight. The difference in reach was the difference in the fight. Joshua is just too stiff, and I say that to be real, not jokingly. We have to accept the fact that he's just a big plodding guy with true power but lacks a flair for throwing punches who holds his hands up good. But, Joshua needs a sitting target to hit. He has to take more chances. He took more chances in his last couple of fights than tonight. Tonight he played it safe behind the stick, but a bit too safe for my liking. Parker, he was just born with short arms lmao. He couldn't reach Joshua and he didn't take enough chances to get inside, stay and fight inside either. Joshua said what I wanted to hear and then Fast Eddie comes in and ****s up the whole scene with his ignorant, phony ass diatribe. It's time that we stopped listening to this promoter. He's had his time in the sun, and now it's time to do business before Wilder and Joshua lose to a nobody. Whyte doesn't qualify as a nobody so he can't be used as an example of a nobody-had to put that out there lmao. Do we need to see Wilder Whyte now? The public is demanding Wilder Joshua fight now!!! Rag's final note: I loved the atmosphere over there, but the crowd was quiet for most of the fight. Wilder and Joshua need each other. Yeah I talk **** about Joshua, but on fight night I keep it G as I respect all fighters. Fights like this happen. Yeah it was boring, but you win and move on. Wilder presents a true danger to Joshua. Joshua present a true danger to Wilder. My pick is Wilder. I just see the right hand being too fast and too hard, but the one thing that Joshua does that he didn't show in this fight is he will force the fight and come inside. That could be effective against Wilder. But that's the danger. Both are black, both seem humble disregarding their interviews talking about each other, and boxing needs this fight. The winner can crown themselves king until one of these young guys comes along to present a challenge. We need a face on the HVW champion. We need a unified and lineal champion. Make the fight ASAP!!!

The promoter wants the fight , and anyone on this forum that takes you seriously is a retard too ...:burnout: The promoter doesn't want the fight, but his dad Barry will tell him to make the fight and stop acting like a damn fool yourself. And Jugglenuts, you already know that nobody cares what you think. That has to be a ****ed up feeling lmao.

You would think that Joshua lost with the way his fans are posting today. The criticism seems to be getting to them. I'm not critical of Joshua at all. But lol......when I do talk to his fanatics, I am very critical.

Last comment on the fight. I take nothing away from Joshua. I have no criticism of his win either. He did what he had to do to win and that's all that matters-win. He showed a good strong jab, and a good defense. The times I thought he might've been wobbled, he wasn't even hit. When he was hit, he didn't blink at all. He has to go to the body more, and he has to learn how to throw a real right hand. He might need a new trainer, but if it isn't broke don't try to fix it.

Thats my point. He didnt attempt to reach him. He was content of having his shots fall short because he didnt want get KO'ed. Joshua was moving forward the whole time so its wasnt like Joshua was hard to find. All Parker did was throw get away from me punches. He never tried to win the fight by taking risks This wasn't a challenger going after the champion. Both were champions. Parker tried and he couldn't reach Joshua. Joshua didn't exactly go looking for a fight. He kept Parker at bay with the jab like he was supposed to.

So what you are saying is its all working in AJ favor, some due to luck, some due to rigging, and you think he cant all of a sudden rig Wilder or get lucky with Wilder? If it took money to get the belt from Martin and it took rigging get the WBA belt whats stopping him from using these 2 methods to get the WBC belt, how come these 2 methods are not working all of a sudden against Wilder? You see when you start making these arguments, some of us are gonna put it through the sniff test. To me its simple, just looking at the data, AJ is unifying, Wilder is not.... I don't get your post. Ok, you're criticizing Wilder for not unifying and propping up Joshua for unifying. So if Joshua is doing that then lefts see if he goes after Wilder's belt.

Exactly. One more fight and the winner has the world at his feet. Exactly they both have a chance to add a heavyweight champion of the world un-disputed to their legacy. Un-fortunately i think its more business now for AJ.

Lets keep it G. Joshua threw money at Martin and beat Martin. Joshua made a fight with Wlad and somehow the WBA title was put on the line. He did beat Parker. That's how he unified the titles. Nobody cares about the IBO or whatever belt that is. Now tell Joshua to collect the WBC belt.

you dont want to talk about fury cause you know he whoops your 2 heroes. same thing happened when ali was the real champ. lets pretend he doesnt exist so we can get our guy! sad to see history repeating itself. by the way im kidding. If Fury does somehow get in shape and gets below 400 lbs lol, we could have 3 top heavies who are all capable of beating each other.

Parker fought scared and was there to not get KO'ed. Hard to look good and stop a guy who is fighting just to survive Parker wasn't scared at all. He just couldn't reach Joshua.

He has been collecting belts for the past 2 years, and he is consistent with it. On the other hand you have a fighter, Wilder, that says he wants to unify but in 3 years never had a unification fight? I mean to me, im more likely to believe the guy thats actually unifying than the guy that sitting on the side running his mouth not unifying and not being consistent. Wilder wants to be 50 and 0, this unify **** he be saying is bull****, he dont want to unify, just look at the evidence.Lets keep it G. Joshua threw money at Martin and beat Martin.

tyson fury? you are a guy who would say joe frazier vs jimmy ellis was for the true championship while ignoring ali. fury would beat both these guys. one guy is a big stiff idiot and the other has no craft at all and would be picked apart. oh but he's white so he doesn't count reported! After Fury gets himself together we will talk about Fury. Until then why talk about what YOU think that Fury would do? And the "white" comment you can toilet that ****.

I don't care about any of that stuff. That's armchair stuff. We are a fight away from having a true hvw champ. The last resort is that they don't need each other but Wilder will have the respect of the people because he wants the fight. We don't know if Joshua truly wants the fight. He said that he did after this fight, but many fans don't believe him. I'm holding Joshua to his word. He said Wilder or Fury. Lets see if he's willing to collect Wilder's belt.

Pffft AJ dont need Wilder, agreed with all you said but Wilder needs AJ more. Look at the amount of attention Wilder got this week on AJ fight week. Do a google trend over 5 years with the 2 fighters. AJ flatlines when Wilder is about to fight, mean while Wilder peaks when AJ is about to fight. Lets see Wilder vanish now that AJ is out of the news the next few months. Wilder had more interviews and articles this week than the week of the Ortiz fight. Take Aj out the equation and Wilder is meh. I don't care about any of that stuff. That's armchair stuff. We are a fight away from having a true hvw champ. The last resort is that they don't need each other but Wilder will have the respect of the people because he wants the fight. We don't know if Joshua truly wants the fight.
