Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Could Have Taken Easier Fight, He Wants The Belts!

[Tatabanya]

Not saying Parker wins but he's a much tougher fighter than say Martin, Whyte, Pulev etc.

I may be agreeing with you on most of what you wrote, but the fact is that Parker has never been hit on the chin by anything remotely comparable to Joshua's punch. My gut feeling is that AJ finds it soon enough to officially file Parker in the "never was" archive.

Some people won’t be happen but I think most people would accept a unification between two unbeaten fighters being fair enough. Both have fought decent opposition recently:

Parker - Ruiz, Takam and Fury
Joshua - Klitschko, Breazeale, Takam, Whyte

Removing those with bias towards certain fighters , most would say Parker is a good fight worth watching and both wilder vs Parker and Joshua vs Parker would have been the same.

There aren’t many tougher fights as it stands (until of course a fight has happened - klistchko for instance suddenly becomes an easy old man fight once beaten). Possible alternatives were probably Pulev, Povetkinand maybe a whyte rematch. I think Parker is the best fight out of all of them to be honest. I didn’t include wilder or fury for a reason, neither would be agreed for terms for a March fight anyway so irrelevant.

Martin is a green southpaw custom made for Joshua . He had zero chance .

Out of the available top 10 fighters Parker will last the longest . How long ? It wont matter a short fight and ppl will say Parker was overated , a long fight and Joshua is overated .

The truth is just about every fight to most of them will result in lopsided matches and then everyone will complain what a weak era it is and i give it till 2019 . lol

You have dozens of great fights that will happen and you dont need Joshua ,he doesnt make up the entire HW division but ppl here will troll anyway . HaHa

Klitschko went overnight from being an ATG heavyweight who was going to expose Joshua, to ‘old, inactive, glass-jawed Wlad, who still managed to drop AJ and almost finished him’.

These Wilder fans couldn’t make it up, they troll so hard. And all the while their fighter is having rematches with clinically obese, unprepared bloaters who stand there and won’t even throw a jab. They are waiting to go down as soon as possible so they can collect their prize from uncle al in the dressing room.

Rather wise analysis, which I ultimately agree with.

In the end a dominant win is a win . Joshua also won every round against Takam ,he literally mugged him and took his time doing it .

Then you have the Parker vs Takam fight where somehow a struggling Parker gets credit for what Joshua did bc he fought him in 2016 ? And he had a FULL camp

Somehow Wilder got credit for that Takam fight too coupled with his own Stiverne win which somehow made the Joshua vs Wilder much closer and half the posters on here making Wilder the favorite over Joshua putting those fights together .

I do believe Stiverne wanted to win . There was a clear punch to the back off his head from a Wilder wild right hook that set up everything from thejump but ppl trying to claim Stiverne as a top HW in 2017 is ridiculous ,not even Wilder believed that .


Well its almost a certainty there will just be more boxing backwards logic here in 2018 , should be a doozy around here .

Namely, that with Tyson Fury

No mate Wilder.Remember Tyson is completely out of shape and has had drug,drink and depression problems and for this reason has himself said that he won't be rushed in to fights that he is not ready for.AJ. v Tyson is at the end of 2018 at the earliest although AJ. and Hearn and some ****** 'fans' would like to see it sooner knowing Tyson is nowhere near.

I know, mate - I was indeed just kidding about Fury.

To be completely honest, I believe that Fury will never, ever reach again half of the level he was at before falling into all that ****. Somehow I anticipate a Fury vs David Price desperation fight somewhere down the line...

All that said at the same time it isn't totally unreasonable to want to see the Fury fight sooner rather than later... Fury himself is continually talking as if he walks through Joshua now.

I jus think there would be less appeal in a Fury fight to casuals if Fury simply got his head down and focused on his road to recovery, rather than blowing smoke up his own ass when he's simply in no condition to fight any of the top heavyweights.

[Kezzer]

I can still see fury vs haye happening. Price brings nothing to the table, but even if fury and Haye both lost to Joshua that would still be a mega fight in the uk , would sell big.
