So today is the day everyone starts to call Parker a bum just because he has to fight AJ? Before today he was one of the most hyped heavyweights. After the Takam fight I recall people saying AJ wouldn't fight him. Parker has more fights than AJ so if AJ has been fighting bums who has Parker been fighting?

Great fight. Would have pegged Parker to win before seeing the Takam fight but now I'm not as confident.

The IBF are pure excrement. Who would he have to fight to make him the IBFs number 1 then? david price? Audley harrison? Even bumsquad would have been too embaraseed to fight hayes last 2 opponents. And thats saying something!!!!

looks like a lot of yall are sleeping on Parker. It's like Parker's a bum for the flaws he showed vs Takam, yet Joshua is an unbeatable machine for knocking out cab drivers looking flat-footed as hell? Garcia-Matthysse v2

Looking forward to this , Parker if he stays confident is live dog early rounds with his speed, I hope he wins but kinda fearing a Chris arreola situation at title level
AJ has some smarts as well as physicality, Parker needs to be more mobile and unpredictable

For better or worse, the IBF is very strict when it comes to their mandatories. Sometimes that's a good thing, other times it's not. In this case, it's a very good fight so I'm all for it. Also, once you win a world championship belt, you cant expect to be treated like a prospect anymore. You are now a world champion and the obligations and responsibilities that come with it. If Joshua and his handlers want to keep him like a prospect who is still growing, they shouldn't have fought for the IBF belt or they should drop it.
Regardless, if you plan on winning and keeping the IBF you better be prepared to take on mandatories. Everyone who wins the IBF is aware of how they work in that regard.
