Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter To Contact Haymon For Wilder Unification

[John Locke]

The usual suspects predicting another blowout...

Wilder was being outboxed by Spilka and took 9 rounds to take out a club fighter in Molina, that's just in his last 2 fights. He's hardly a world beater. Parker takes a good shot and is a solid all-round fighter, this is a 50-50 fight.

I find it amazing people who had never seen Ruiz fight before Saturday are now calling him a bum because of his physique, the guy is clearly a talented fighter, a bit of research would show you that.

Depends on how healthy The Bomber is, I say he gets 2 tune ups then fights Parker to unify while Parker can fight has beens, gate keepers or Hughie Fury to polish up on his techniques and style!

Picking a healthy Deontay Wilder by knockout in the 8th round, Parker does fight differently when facing tall guys vs someone shorter than him that's for sure.

I like this guy. I like the way he thinks. Of course Hearn wouldn't do it.

Why would Hearn shell out a few milli to get Wilder-Parker on the undercard when Joshua-Klitschko will sell fine on its own without any support from these paper champions (Joshua is a paper champ too, but won't be anymore if he beats Klitschko).

Fact is, neither Parker or Wilder have fans and their multi-million dollar combined purse would not be reflective of the actual market demand for the fight in the UK.

And no matter what you say, having Parker-Wilder on the undercard won't make AJ vs. winner that much bigger. If AJ beats Klitschko he can fight ANYONE and it will be huge.

Boxing fans get too caught up in **** that sounds cool but makes no sense for any of the parties involved IRL.

Read the last sentence I wrote. Then ask yourself why did your respond to me

[sicko]

Make it happen he was running his mouth after Joshua fight about how "I AM THE BEST" and "I WILL UNIFY THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION" well here is the opportunity to start unifying

[KillaCamNZ]

Wilder's yapped and yapped about unifying the division - now it's time to put up or shut up.

But, par for the course will be neither. I fully expect this fight not to be made, and Wilder to continue talking nonsense.

I like the sounds of it but I need to see Wilder and Povetkin settle their business first

Hughie would be fine to keep Parker ticking over in the meantime. That would probably be another cagey 12-rounder but I'm confident Parker would win

[joe strong]

I think Parker gets hit too easily. I think some of the punches Ruiz tagged him with would have ended it if it was Wilder throwing them. If Povetkin beats Stiverne I think Wilder needs to fight him first & that is a good time for Parker to make his mandatory. If Stiverne beats Povetkin then unification should happen before a Fury fight. I'm not even sure if Parker beats Hughie. I think Wilder will KO Parker.

Don King had multiple events with 2 HW champions defending on the same card. To showcase potential unification bouts.

[Kigali]

Wilder won't go near Parker right now IMO.

It took a lot to get him to agree to fight povetkin and he still ended up finding a way out of it.

Lying piece of ****.
