    Wilder would be favourite over Parker too so he shouldn't fear this fight.

    I would like Joshua vs Wilder to be for all the marbles so forget Wilder vs Whyte, lets see Wilder vs Parker so we'll have 2 belts apiece and the winner will be undisputed.

    Parker and arum already ducked wilder. Saying wilder brings nothing to the table. Which is why Parker is about to fight some bum in japan

        Wilder pleaded for this fight, especially after Fury dropped out this spring. Parker's people want nothing to do with it unfortunately. I think it would be a great fight.

          I think Parker would win this fight but his team want nothing to do with it - and when they're positioned to get a AJ unification possibly within the next year, they wouldn't want to take that risk.

          OTOH if they wait too long on Joshua, someone els will beat him which means all the money will go out of the fight.

          Tight rope to walk.

            Parker ducked Wilder. Said it didn't make financial sense.

              Parker isn't very good. Vert few if any posters think he could beat either Wilder or AJ. He would just be one more delay of the AJ vs Wilder fight we all want to see. The winner of AJ vs Wilder can then fight Parker for his belt. It isn't important that AJ vs Wilder is for 4 belts or 3 belts. The winner will still be seen as the true heavyweight champ.

                I believe Hearn spoke about making Parker vs AJ in the spring, depending on whether the WBA mandatory will happen and if Parker's team can negotiate it.

                I don't believe either guy would be willing to fight the other in a low-money fight before fighting AJ and being set-up for life.
