Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua vs. Parker is a Very, Very Big Fight - A Legacy Fight

[Ray Corso]

Neither man has 25 bouts! These are not veteran fighters
and to date neither man has done squats!
Joshua beat an old Wlad who has been shot for years. Parker
was lucky to barely get by Andy who if was better conditioned would handle Parker easily.

These are ordinary talents who haven't even fought 30 fights yet!

Pffffft. Is it balls. It's a nothing fight now against a 'belt holder' which is always good to sell to casulas but let's not beat about the bush here. Parker was already beaten by Takem and struggled with many more lesser fighters. Yeah he got the nod being the home fighter but other than casuals who does that impress? I mean he's got a nice body physic from gear, 'has his 0' and a decent young prospect but he's not even top 10, he's a very one paced average fighter at the minute.

Joshua easily wipes him out within 5 rounds. This is a mismatch. He's just a Seth Mitchell but with youth on his side.

hearn is spot on. Any fight for 4 of the 5 belts is going to be a big fight. Wilder fans will moan because he’s not yet fighting for anymore belts, by reality is this is the biggest fight available to Joshua at this time of the year. There maybe more options for alternative fights later in the year, but not right now.

We get a Heavyweight unification fight and some people start calling it a trash fight.?

Some people will find a way to complain about anything.

I may not be a career defining fight, but it can only add to ones legacy if the winner gets 3 out of the 4 belts.

It's the two best heavyweight champions fighting I'll say that.

It is a big fight, and a legacy matchup, ............ but it's still not the fight everyone wants. (Everybody knows it's Wilder/AJ)

Parker, although a belt holder, just doesn't have the achievements. If you lumped all the heavies into one belt division he'd only be a contender in the top ten and not a champ.

Let’s just be clear here. Americans want the wilder fight. To the British average joe in the public - Parker or wilder makes no difference they don’t know who either are. Infact Parker has at least just fought in the uk and faced tougher opposition to date. Wilder has no achievements, infact lesser than Parker. So anyone who really criticises this fight is really only criticising the total pool of heavyweights to choose from rather than the choice itself which is only based on who is available.
