Comments Thread For: A morning with Joseph Parker, the ?nicest man you will ever meet?

[Sid-Knee]

A very good fighter and a decent honest person. Unusual to get any honest people in boxing today. Joseph Parker and Andy Lee make a great team. You always want the good guys to do well, unlike that fraud AJ or Wilder. It's no coincidence that both fury and Parker turned to Andy Lee to get them back from tough times. Excellent piece by the boxing scene.

AJ isn't a fraud. He just wanted to better himself and change his ways. Nothing wrong with that. He wanted to set an example. But weak people go on the attack when people are on top and try to drag them down with spite and malicious intent.

This clown aint the nicest. I remember years ago when Anthony Joshua was trying to unify the heavyweight division with him this clown Parker stalled negotiations because he wanted an even 50/50 split even tho he didn’t even sell 1/4 of what Joshua sold. They told him the fans were waiting for the fight and for him to take less money since he didn’t deserve 50/50, and he didn’t care about no fans, not even his. In the end he was forced to take way less, got beat up by Aj and lost his belt lmao

Oh you think Parker was handling negotiations in person ?

I can see why everything you said after that is pooh!

FWIW AJ couldn't put a dent in Parker and needed the refs help to "beat him up"...lol

I still would like to know more about Parker's ghosts; he has evidently overcome some struggles but it isn't exactly clear what those struggles are.

Wouldn't be surprised if its from his time with sleazy ex pat trainer and now Vegas grifter Kevin Barry.

I imagine there'd still be a few shifty characters lurking and looking for a free lunch or they'd spill the beans on what really went down with washing drug money through Vegas...

Having the Furys in his corner would help mitigate that.

He will beat Dubois and hopefully fight Usyk.
