Comments Thread For: Joshua-Wallin, Wilder-Parker Heavyweight Double Explored For December 23 As Part Of Riyadh Season

[JakeTheBoxer]

Wilder boxed one round since two horrible loses to Fury. I think Parker beats him easily.


Wallin outboxes Joshua 8-4 in rounds.

Bivol-Rivera as well

Well, that is good, so Bivol will fight once in 2023.

But again, Beterbiev must be next.

They don't need to fight each other at the moment so I doubt that will happen. Beating Wallin lines up Joshua for Hrgovic and the IBF strap. And makes sense for the Wilder v Parker winner to be made the WBC mandatory

That isn’t what’s happening . Beating Wallin sets up Wilder vs Joshua . Joshua isn’t even near any straps because Usyk vs Fury isn’t even happening if at all until late next year as I believe it will get another postponed and be a potential waste of time ultimately just bc Fury is involved and likes wasting everyone’s time ?

Either way Joshua vs Wilder will be everyone’s goal particularly just bc Fury has massively flopped again and cost them millions of money they will want to at least make some back , these fools scratched Joshua and now need him back . Lol

You even follow boxing?
Aj & Eddie want nothing to do with Wilder, they just keep dangling that carrot for casuals.
Wallin #2 ibf sets up the vacant in house Hrgovic ibf shot after Fury or Usyk are stripped of the belt. Hopefully the looser won't take the rematch & the belts stick together.
Ajs made it quite clear he wants to be 3 times paper belt champ, Eddie's already said that. All they've ever done is least risk for most reward & that's the ibf.

This is the way.
No way they risk Wilder (probably ever) before 3 times paper belt champ.

Why does Wilder always look like he’s yawing in his pictures?

[LaidOut]

I have a hard time believing that the Saudis are getting into the boxing scene just for money, as they really don't need it. I'm hoping that with this cheesefest on 23 Dec, and then Usyk-Fury in Feb, that the Uysk-Fury winner declares himself the lineal HW champ, and throws ALL ABC belts 'in the trash' for the whole world to see, and completely catching the ABCs off-guard. That would essentially give the Saudis full power over boxing at that point as the defacto boxing organization, and then we'd have a '1 belt' plan going forward. Uysk-Fury winner then fights winner of AJ-Wilder (or Wallin-Parker if they pull it off). Could happen, and I'm all in.

Just curious as to why you think so.

Which top HW has Wallin ever outboxed in his life? The last guy I can think of is Breazeale who was on the verge of retirement. What is his achievement other than 1 round of fame against Fury? AJ may be guy-shy but I don't think anybody would disagree that he has improved in skills over the last 2 years.

I'd be shocked to the bones if Wilder agreed to fight Parker.

I agree. Parker is a tough guy with good skills. Not sure why Wilder would risk it without anything to gain. AJ-Wallin puts AJ on track for a vacant belt but what does Wilder gain from fighting Parker? He may be more willing if it were against Ruiz or Zhang because a win at least positions him quite well in the division.

Until it doesn't happen.

Well said.

Less than 6 weeks? Isn't happening.

Joshua seems to want to stay active.
Wallin wants a fight against a big name.
Wilder needs to fight.
Parker will fight anybody.
Top 10 guys fighting each other.
Sounds good me.
