Comments Thread For: Parker's Coach: We Need Joshua Before Someone Else Beats Him!

[SN!PER]

Ain't that some shit. Everybody trying to jump Blackimir before I get to him.

He means Povetkin is mando for Parker which is the way the rankings are playing out. Basically he fights Hammer for Parkers mando. Parker will be dragged to Russia and lose. Klitz beat Povetkin, AJ beat Klitz and Podvetkin should be on a lot less Juice so I can't see why they would be worried.

Povetkin is the only fighter where I would be really worried about home advantage (so much dodgy stuff over there) for any of Wilder, Parker or Joshua. Personally the other champs should make sure its Joshua who fights him coz he's the only one with the cash behind him to get him out of Russia and into some strict drug testing. Joshua beats him comfortably in the UK but it would be a very good fight to watch might go the distance if he Povetkin is in good shape. Povetkin is a very good heavyweight ... shame about the drugs though .

Yeah, I figured what he meant after I posted. That said, it's a lot of truth in what the man is saying. They need to get that AJ payday before "somebody" (we ALL know who) beats AJ and the payday disappears

Joshua is getting no respect. I guess he's the man to beat in the division and apparently it's quite easy.

What he's really saying is "we need a big money fight before Parker runs out of gifts from the judges".

Wilder would destroy Joshua

Finally!! Folks are starting to see Joshua for what he is. He's a big, methodical , stiff puncher who can't move all that well for long and when he's required to move starts to gas. All his fans talk about how he punches so hard and thats the only thing that wins fights. He doesn't punch as hard as Wilder, is far less mobile and a lot slower. No wonder his management avoids any real challenges with slick boxers never mind a guy like Wilder who can box , move and punch harder than him. As Joshua fights more you now see managers from contenders begging for a shot next in the fear the next fight will expose him. I really don't see why any real long time boxing fan can't see whats really right in front of them, forget all of Joshua's management rheteric and jump on Youtube and look at both Joshua and Wilders fights, pretty easy to see why Joshua wants nothing to do with Wilder

AJ will smoke Parker.. Parker is still a champ because apart from the top 3-4 guys rest are ****..

This to be honest. I like Parker and he is a decent boxer but his recent fights have stunk the place out.

I was disappointed with AJ's previous fight as Takam deffinately did show some holes in AJ's game plan. Saying that AJ still won easy.

I can see AJ vs Wilder been a very difficult fight to predict, but AJ vs Parker? AJ wins for me, just don't think Parker has anything that could trouble him.

Yep, I think he's going backwards. What I've read about him is he's always looking for a dad approach to strength and conditioning, one minute it's weights then its bodyweight training ect. It's like he's not sure who's he's meant to be. I think moving to another trainer might help but like you say he doesn't have AJ's overwhelming size and strength or Wilders power or awkward style. No special effects.

When you're at the top - you're going to have haters. That's just how the world is.

He's the biggest draw for a PPV clash, all these guys calling him out and wanting him want to be labeled as the king of throne, to be named the guy that gave him his "first loss"

.. And if they don't win? they receive a big pay cheque either way, more than their former opponents they faced.

High reward, low risk.
