Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker is Open To Possibility of Facing Joe Joyce, Says Manager

[Chrismart]

Good fight. I'd favour Joyce.

[REDEEMER]

Besides Joshua Joyce is establishing the best resume amongst the heavyweights, especially if he defeats Parker.

Joyce resume is very weak ,defeating Parker helps in a fight he should win but there’s multiple guys out there more dangerous then Parker’s rebounding from the first Chisora fight he probably should’ve lost and as always with boxing fans now Parker’s in high regards again when after the Chisora 1st fight most were digging his grave .

No one has a resume like A.J ,I’d say Usyk is the closest one then Whyte . Parker’s a good win for anyone but Joyce is already at the end of his road and will face the top guys for a title shot barring a lose happens beforehand ,it’s a little late to have some astonishing resume at this point unless he manages to defeat any of the top 3 currently and then go on to defend against guys better then Parker level .

No longer interested in duckers who backed out of a chance to fight for the ibf title. Fcuk em all.

"title eliminator" isn't that. Parker's resume is one of the best.

Not sure that Joyce "should win"

Parker is the far more experienced man and he's also younger.

Parker has mixed with AJ, Ruiz, Whyte and never looked outclassed, all 3 of those fights were razor close affairs.

I haven't seen anything out of Joyce to suggest he should breeze through a guy who gave all 3 of them issues (and in fact beat two of them)
I do see potential in Joyce but Parker would be by FAR his best win and stopping Parker would be probably the most impressive win at heavyweight outside of title fights in recent years.

[RoadOfTheGypsy]

I'd favour Parker.

Parker is far more mobile and would have a lot of handspeed advantage, he also has very good stamina and an iron jaw so I don't see Joyce wearing him down.

I mean this is dependent on Parker executing a good game plan, if a half assed Parker shows up (which is always possible) then yeah Joyce can definatley take it.

It's parkers speed, mobility and accuracy or Joyce's workrate that'll win it.


Good fight for both though, the winner 100% deserves a title shot.

Good analysis, I agree and I hope to see this fight. I would also add that Parker is the fresher of the two with more high level experience.

[Get em up]

The only way Parker wins is letting his hands go early in the fight and avoid catching a thunderous shot from Joyce while he is doing it

I think Joyce has the better jab, better chin and better stamina. Parker does appear to have advantages in mobility and hsndspeed but I think Joyce would wear him down. Good fight, I hope it happens.

Joyce walks through him. Most of you are ****ing idiots who've never stepped foot in a gym. Guys like Joyce are just the ****ing worst. Big as **** with stamina, a chin and concussion power too. Parker sucks. Always has and always will. Doesn't have the it factor at all. Joyce does him in 8.

There is this weird overrating of any fighter gone up against of Hearns bums. Parker hasn't done anything significant in almost five years and that's not about to change anytime soon. Beating an aged Chisora in a rematch of an earlier fight you possibly lost is definitely not going to convince me otherwise either.

"title eliminator" isn't that. Parker's resume is one of the best.

He ducked a fight that leads to the ibf title. Why fight for rankings in that org then? He should be dropped. He can then go get ktfo by Joyce. I could care less what his resume says. Hell fight Joyce but not Hrg?

If it were me, I would take the WBO route. The IBF also has USYK on top but nobody at #1, Ortiz at #2, Hrgovic at 3. Choosing one path over another isn't always a duck. "Title eliminator" doesn't mean very much. The IBF has Parker at #11, if they drop him I think he's cool with it.
