Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: We Won't Take Lowball Money For Joshua!

[Flabble Scrote]

The only thing Parker lacks is height and reach. He has a solid chin, good conditioning and stamina, as well as better than average boxing skills.
He also, on average, weighs more than 10 kilos more than Wilder. Although Parker against Wilder would see Parker struggle against a 3" height deficit, and a colossal 7" in reach, unless Wilder blows him away in the first few rounds, Parker could still conceivably win a decision or even a late KO as he is more active and used to going the distance.

Boxing is about more than physical measurables, a top heavyweight would have trapped Hughie and knocked him out
Where was Parker's left hook?
He doesn't have great boxing ability, he has reasonably fast hands but it won't be enough probably.
Joshua probably is a bit more vulnerable inside to Parker but good luck with it lol

Standing up and trading with Joshua? Parker gonna wake up and wonder where he is.

AJ. is unbeaten and has fought much better opposition.Parker struggled against a below average fighter in Hughie Fury and has not fought anyone of note.

Whyte and Del boy a fit Tyson and AJ would hammer ameture Parker who doesn't seem to be improving at all.

I hope AJ. doesn't go the Parker route as there's much better opposition than him at PPV level.

They need to not hold out too long. Breazeale + Big Baby are highly ranked by the WBO & I wouldn't hate their ability to upset Parker (& I'm sure there are others who have a decent enough chance to upset Parker ranked by the WBO). You can only hold out for that big payday as long as you don't get a guy who can upset you being made the mandatory while you are getting paid lesser money vs the risk.

I think agreements are already in place for Parker to fight the winner of Haye/Bellew

[Straightener]

you'll get what your given you bum

A career high pay day and a absolute tanking

[rudy]

Parker is just an aussie bum going nowhere and looking for a big payday

Australia and New Zealand are two different places but yeah Parker looked awful against Fury

[PunchyPotorff]

Funny that Parker robbed Ruiz with hometown judges but he wants to use that to big himself up,he didn't do anything in that fight & I expected him to win easily. If he had to rob a true cruiserweight in Ruiz imagine what Wilder/AJ would do to him.

Possibly, but even Ruiz said Parker beat him.

[PunchyPotorff]

Just from the size disadvantage alone I think Joshua beats Parker, but still I think Parker should be respected with a good paycheck for his trouble. And Hearn would be smart to see that, since Parker does have a major belt... no matter what anyone thinks of him. That, and he's no bum in the ring, even if he isn't quite an elite.

If pulev is making 5 mil this punching bag would make atleast 7 aka 4x his highest pay day.

I think that sounds about fair. Probably a split of the Ppv money as well maybe 80/20. 70/30 at a push
