Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua embraces the role of challenger ahead of Daniel Dubois IBF title fight

Yes, I'm sure Saudis would prefer Josh v zhang, rather than parker v josh

I'm sure Joshua would too. Zhang is old, tired and getting more shopworn with every fight. Perfect matchup for the Princess.

Parker is 32 in his prime having beaten a former champ AJ never fought and the big chinaman himself.

The Sauds and Hearn know that a loss to Parker ends the myth of the almighty AJ and a loss is probably what would happen.

Zhang beat the crap out of Joseph.

Let's face it, the ONLY reason Parker got the decision was because Zhang was out of shape and didn't throw. When he did it was SCARY how easy he brutalised Joseph.

Then he goes away and knocks Wilder in oblivion too.

No one would bet Parker in a rematch (besides the spammer on this forum).

Lets face it, the ONLY reason you're spouting this crap is because you're SCARED of what a loss to Parker would mean for Joshua.

It would mean he was never the 2nd or 3rd best of this era and that he was always a cherry picking fraud like Wilder.

I dont think you have the authority to speak for everyone when you say no one would bet on Parker. I believe the smart money would and he would deliver a career ending loss to Joshua.

Perhaps you'd be better off staying under your bridge and picking another poster to butt heads with when they go trip trapping through this site.

But Josh has already best parker, so I think it's Zhang turn. Zhang best wilder more destructively than parker did. Not saying Parker wouldn't win rematch against josh. But I'm sure Josh would rather have another different name on his resume.

I doubt very much, despite IBF plans, that the winner even gets a rematch. Nice selling point but why would it even happen?

That Randy Johnson exploding the bird never gets old

I just want to see the best fights. My life is not invested in a boxer like you are. Its weird and sad.
This is simply 2 of the top 4 Heavyweights facing each other. Its a great fight. Neither will be number 1 while Usyk is around.

On your obsession... Parker has regressed since AJ beat him. All he is now is a jab and run guy who can't hurt the other guy and has zero chin left.

The Zhang 'win' was more worrying than anything. Dude barely threw a punch and he had Joseph laid out like a pancake every time. Parker is DONE.

All British HW title fight. Next year will be same but for undisputed titles

[Toffee]

What I don't like is Parker Kabayel & Dubois have all been fighting contenders, meanwhile Ajs boxed cans yet he gets the title shot for soft touch fight against Wallin?
Personally I hope the winner of what should be Undesputed 2 splits the belts....
If Usyk who beat both cannot defend his undesputed title then why on earth should the 2 loosers get to fight for it?

Is they're a rematchroom clause?

Wasn't Wallin ranked #2 by the IBF?

Oh right, like Usyk for a third time and the standard A-Side rematch clauses which guarantee the same name on his resume but only if he loses...pffffttt!!!

Wilder is shot. Any half decent heavy can blow the windmill away now. It took Parker to prove it. Zhang was just kicking a dead horse by knocking him out.

The 2018 version of Parker that Joshua faced was a fresh faced kid new to the big show and got jobbed cos of it. 2024 Parker is a whole nother beast. Joshua would get his clock cleaned by him now.

Boxing is not an investment. It's a playful distraction, that is all.

Parker hasn't regressed at all. Under Andy Lee's and George Lockharts training and conditioning he is the form fighter in the division.

AJ is the one who's regressed since Fat Andy ruined him and Usyk took his mojo.

No power, no chin.

At least before he arguably had both.

Now he just looks to survive.
