Comments Thread For: Parker: I Would Not Have Problems Knocking Wilder, Joshua Out!

[sportbuddha]

People sleeping on this dudes style. Parker maybe aint looked too good vs runners like Fury and Razvan and his style aint good vs shorter fighters like we seen vs Ruiz and Takam. But i think this dude is basically Danny Garcia at heavyweight. He will derail dudes like Joshua and Wilder who in love with ther power and he will look **** against guys just trying to survive. Parker hasn't got crushing power but he's got faster hands, good timing and elite level chin. I agree with Tyson Fury that this boy knocking out Joshua..

He’s got all of those assets against low rate competition, as soon as he stepped up a level (Ruiz, Takam, Fury) he’s not looking like anything special. I agree he maybe gets his balls busted a bit too much, he’s a good test for real champion but a lot of signs point to him being second level. For me Wilder is similar, we just haven’t seen the results at top level, but unlike Joe it’s because he hasn’t fought anyone yet aside from Stiverne, who’s probably Fury/Takam level.

not sure about knocking out Joshua, but there is some truth in the bold

Parker's team already turned down a fight with Joshua months ago or last year if not mistaken.

Parker has turned down offers from both Wilder and Joshua. Smart decision though. Either of them would beat him comfortably.

How so when you've got someone in Joshua that literally makes 10 times the amount the other champions make?

Joshua is LAB

Local
Azzed
Box office.

And given his current social media problems, that might not be as true anymore either.

His numbers on US TV are far worse than Wilder's for example, so no way could he dictate like an A-side for a US PPV.

Yes, he does very well on $25 PPVs.
Yes, he has packed stadiums in Britain.

But Canelo makes more than him in Vegas with a third of the buys.

He can't dictate to anyone outside of Britain, and these fights don't have to be in Britain.

Now do I think they should be in England?

Yes.

For the spectacle and the good of the sport, hell yes.

But, if AJ and Hearn are going to nickel and dime other beltholders when the truth is they need each other, then I understand Wilder and Parker saying no and I don't see it as a duck either.

What is also true is that a year from now, things may have changed drastically and an opportunity available to Hearn and AJ now may be a lot more expensive then.

You're right, they do need each other, but that doesn't suddenly mean that fighters with such limited appeal that they generally make around 2million a fight should be expecting closer to 10million because without Joshua neither of them could expect anything close to that figure.

If Wilder and Parker say no to Hearn and fight each other on a 50/50 split how much do you expect they'd each earn? Maybe 5 million each being generous considering it's a unification?

So why is it then that their expectation to face Joshua is double that, and how is that in any way reasonable?

I'm gonna add that I don't overly care how much each fighter makes, what I care about is seeing the best fights and at the moment to me it seems entirely that Wilder and Parker's outlandish demands are what is stopping those fights from happening.

What fight did he go to watch Wilder live and then proceeded to never mention his name again? He wants no smoke whatsoever.

It's reasonable because it is the biggest fight that can be made in boxing and AJ will not be able to sustain those big paydays fighting can after can.

Their demands are not outlandish, especially given what Hearn has paid and offered for lesser fights to men who also had not had large paydays prior.

And their demand are not outlandish when compared to what happened in prior big fights.

It's Hearn and AJ who are trying to do something different than normal in lowballing other champs.
