    Good fight, but potentially a bad style match up for Wardley as Parker can box and has a solid chin. He's only ever been cleaned out once and that was by Joyce who wore him down during an absolute war. Could Wardley do the same? I'm not sure he has prime Joyce's engine or output. Parker also claimed he was really unwell before that fight and shouldn't have been in the ring, but Joyce was at his peak that night and it might have happened whatever version of Parker was in there. I have a feeling Parker can outbox Wardley and that Fabio's one-shot power won't be enough to take Parker out so I'd favour Joe on points. Wardley is tough himself though so I don't see him getting stopped until he gets TKO'd due to fatigue. It's got the potential to be a good fight though. I'm slightly surprised Wardley's people are willing to put him in with Parker as I think he'll go in as the underdog and he'll lose his lofty ranking in defeat, but then again Wardley, to his credit, is a very confident guy and always backs himself. I'll be looking forward to this one. I hope we also get Joyce vs Whyte, Okolie vs Kabayel, and DDD vs Zhang or DDD vs Chisora in the autumn too. In the old days, one or more of those match-ups would be on the undercard of Wardley vs Parker, but stacked cards seem to be getting fewer and far between this year sadly (with the exception of the November 22 card). A guy can dream though!

      lol
      .....and hasn't been able to win a fight since. Its true that A.J. was the favorite then, as Usyk had been underwhelming at Heavyweight going into that fight. It is in HINDSIGHT that we can conclude that the A.J. who fought against Martin, Klitschko, Whyte, Parker and Povetkin had a short duration peak, and was gone forever by the time Usyk nicked him. And it was Dubois who illustrated the point emphatically, to catch us all up to Joshua's true status. As for Tyson Fury; it is through the filter of hindsight there as well, that we can now conclude that those wars against Wilder had essentially ruined him. A typical outcome of a heavyweight who is involved in those kinds of battles.

          much much more likely is that usyk simply took AJ's soul, remember back to his melt down in the ring, his loses to usky caused that & nothing else, if anything u should update your little theories to say that usyk took AJ's soul which is very likely true

          As for Fury, maybe wilder did take something from him, could well have happened but he was still going well and sharp and on a great run going into the usky fights, have a look at boxrec why dont ya and see for yourself, that ngannou fight that everyone goes on about was a show fight for fury for the cash, he stayed away from him as he was wary of his unknown power and style at the time, AJ saw and executed a different plan, thats all it says, doesnt mean ngannou could achieve what fury has in the ring at all just because that was close if thats what people think

            As I have stated in another thread, fighters like Joseph Parker and Agit Kabayel 'are sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, and a big opportunity. They are not in the position in the game, that Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua are in. Those two latter fighters are not sitting around waiting for the phone to ring, because? As fighters their resume, and current prestige in the game gives them the ability to create opportunities for other fighters'.

            Note: If fighting Fabio Wardley is the best fight offer Joseph Parker is receiving right now 'then he has to take the fight. Because? If he beats Wardley and Uysk vacates his titles. Joseph Parker will be elevated to being a World Champion'.

            This is similar logical as to why I think Anthony Joshua should just take a risk and fight Agit Kabayel, Martin Bakole, Efe Ajagba or Lawerance Okolie. It makes perfect sense to me, and I think all of those fights are great tactically match making. In one move? Joshua has the potential to maximise his gains with a single win'.

            To conclude: So I do understanding the reasoning behind Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley 'especially for Parker, it is a more significant fight than all of his recent fights accept against Deontay Wilder. It was the Wilder fight which really sparked back the momentum in Parker's career'.

            Skill for skill Joseph Parker is a better boxer than Fabio Wardley 'I would make this a very winnable fight for Parker. And I think he has been fighting more dangerous fighters offensively than Wardley, such as the version of Zhilei Zhang he fought'.

            This fight for Fabio Wardley would also be his biggest fight to date 'Up until this point, he has only really been competing against domestic to high end European level fighters. Joseph Parker at this stage of his career, is a World level fighter and? He is a former WBO World Champion' etc.

              look at AJ's face, he has been unpicked and robbed of his titles by usykx2 then KO'ed by Dubois, hes cashing out now with low risk high reward fights and then bye bye to AJ, hes not fighting contenders any more and hes not winning titles any more, hes just cashing out on his fame and former status in the game

                Wilder
                Zhang
                Bakole

                now Wardley

                Wow. Parker is doing his job, beating them all one by one.

                Usyk can duck Parker. Yes he can. But others can`t just duck him as DDD did.

                  He stole the WBO title.

                    So, Parker takes a dangerous fight he doesn't need to and has a mandated title shot vs Usyk, Fury is retired and trolling everyone, and Joshua has been hiding under his bed for over a year...

                    ...and yet Parker is the one sitting around waiting for a big opportunity ?

                    While Fury and Joshua are supposedly in better game position with no fights lined up and nowhere near contending for a title yet somehow creating opportunities for other fighters when Parker is gifting Wardley the opportunity of a lifetime ?

                    Bro, seriously, check yaself before ya wreck yaself!

                      He might be ranked higher, but there are plenty of fighters ahead of him when it comes to selling tickets and PPVs.
                      That is true. That is why he probably fights Wardley.
