Comments Thread For: Joshua vs. Parker Eyed To Land on March 24, March 31 or April 7

I like Wilder and Joshua, but I agree, Parker looks very average! I would rather see Joshua vs. Jarrell Miller over Joseph Parker! On another note, I would like to see Dorticos (6'3"), Gassiev (6'4"), and Usyk (6'3") move up to HW! They are definitely tall enough to carry 230-240 easy!

I just respect the crap out of Usyk. I consider him the lower end of my own personal P4P list. But CW is best for him.

Those other two? They may actually be better at HW. Their power will carry, and Gassiev especially may actually thrive aboxe 210.

Joshua needs Wilder just as much as Wilder needs him.
The British fans may happily pay to see Joshua beat fringe contenders, but Joshua wants credibility and the world's respect. British fans will always continue to put their positive spin on him, but Joshua's reputation will suffer if his greed & growing egotism prevent the important fights from happening.

So it’ll be all down to Joshua if the fight doesn’t happen?

What about Wilder putting his greed and egotism aside and making sure the fight is done?

What about Wilder actually negotiating in order to make it happen, rather than call him out at 50/50 or nothing?

Hearn is ready to negotiate but it doesn’t sound like Wilder is, at all.

There’s only one person being greedy here my friend and it isn’t the guy who brings 90% of the cash to the table, it’s the guy knocking out window cleaners in front of 7000 people.

But Parker isn’t a fringe contender he’s a belt holder, there are only two other guys in the world with belts, Parker and Wilder, to unify the division AJ has to fight both, not sure how this match up has anything to do with greed or egotism, it’s a natural progression.

Ask yourself this, why aren’t Parker and Wilder fighting or indeed why Wilder hasn’t been chasing this belt for the last 3/4 fights when he’s been KO’ing washed up bums?

He’s better how? What’s Parker do that makes him better? I ask a simple question and you try to deflect. I don’t see any difference between Parker and any of the guys you call bums on Wilders resume.

How many of the bums Wilder fought were undefeated and had beaten top 10 opponents like Ruiz Jr, Takkam, and Hughie Fury?

Never mind any those bums, Parker has a better resume than Wilder himself.

Eddie Hearn with the Willy Wonka analogy and the 'Golden Ticket', he must be still laughing at the Oompa Loompa they robbed in Cardiff.

AJ was looking very tired and sloppy. Would of been a good last few rounds if Eddie hadn't called the fight off early.

These guys are BORING, when is the last time Parker slept someone good? A.J keeps getting help from the officials who protect him, this is going to suck.

That would be the last time he fought anybody on the same level as Wilder's bum squad resume.

If Parker had fought the same cans as Wilder, he would have slept every one of them.

What’s so great about this fight? When’s the last time Parker looked anything other than ordinary in a fight? If Parker last 5 rounds I’d be mildly impressed.

Parker is not that great, but he would still be the best fighter under 40 AJ has on his terrible resume.

So was Takkam. It's him taking the shots in that gif, and AJ landing them.

Maybe Usyk can get a catch-weight fight w/ one of the LHW stars? If not, I think he's wasting his time at CW.

Joseph Parker's ring walk shouldn't be that embarrassing Roy Jones rap but

Ordinary Average Guy
My friends are all boring
And so am I

He will plug and plod away with maybe a 10% improvement since his last fight but Kevin Barry will say he's a new man and weapon of mass destruction
Plug away , bit of movement , not enough
Bit more competitive than Takam but not a whole lot
