Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua: I Won't Shake Parker's Hand, I'll Whoop Him!

[sportbuddha]

I think everyone agrees with you, Joshua Wilder is the fight we all want to see. But it takes 2 to tango and Pbc fighters have been known to price themselves out of fights frequently. Wilder wants 50/50 which isnt reasonable since Aj is the main attraction and has many more fans. Sounds like Wilder is pricing himself out. 60/40 sounds fair considering parker got 30-35%

Why does everyone end up talking about Wilder on threads about other HW's in already scheduled fights? Everyone needs to just relax, it'll happen, neither is ducking anyone, it's just normal boxing business. Last weeks Mayweather Boxing podcast talked exactly about this subject, should they fight now or build it, and all the of the expert panel agreed that the fight should be 3x fights away, in order for them both to build even more momentum. Let's keep in mind these are themselves boxing fans, but with the added credibility of fully understanding the business of boxing.

Im not saying Wilder is ducking him, in fact Wilder is one of the only Pbc fighters Im a fan of but for a big fight like this to get made people need to make concessions and that goes for Aj too. If Wilder genuinely wont budge off of his 50/50 demand he would be pricing himself out. We'll see what happens. I put most of the blame for the Pbc fighters cherry picking on Al Haymon because he is the one advising them and he should be trying to build them into ppv stars. Pbc's matchmaking has been atrocious and there should have already been a couple Pbc ppv's by now but most of the fighters have stagnated instead of going upwards. Soence could be a ppv star but if the other top Pbc fighters keep ducking him then hes stuck in a bad spot. I think Spence would be wise to go to Top Rank when his contract with Haymon expires. Arum could get him on ppv within a couple fights while Pbc hasnt built a single ppv star despite having half the top welterweights and light middleweights

Sure, but my point is, I don't think its % and contracts that's holding this fight up. I believe management on both sides, are building the fight (probably more so on AJ's side, because they're more experienced in the business). Fan's feel like they're being made to wait, because, just like Mayweather v Pac, we are being made to wait, its the business.

No, i'm not his bud who he tells everything to. It's just clear he isn't rattled. How anyone can claim they're rattled based on them making comments about things Parker and his camp have said about him is absurd. You've made a comment back to what I said, are you rattled??

Parker has also made slanderous comments about AJ being on PEDs. That's below the belt. Just for that comment alone I hope he takes a career ending beating. He deserves it. Parker is a piece of ****. So are his scummy two-bit amateur team as well.

I think it's obvious what plan team Parker are going to use considering they are looking to be light and agile. They're going on the back-foot and hoping movement causes AJ some problems like Takum did. Thing is though, Takum is more natural at being slippery than Parker is. Parker looks like **** on the back-foot. It won't work.

AJ is going to walk him down and give him the beating he deserves just like he did with Brezeale. I can't wait. Parker can then **** off back to obscurity.

No I'm not rattled, although, to say I'm crazy and deluded coz I think parker has a chance is something a defensive fanboy would say, it was an opinion, and even Eddie hearn said aj is angry / lost his cool with Parker and the glass chin talk. Its not a big deal! Never said parker was gonna win because of it.

Joshua stays ducking the Bronze Bomber.

Why is Joshua so angry because of Parkers comments, is it because there's some truth in that statement. If he can't take some criticism in a build up to the fight then he needs to consider a different sport, Parker is tame compared to Tyson Fury, Chisora and even Bellew. Imagine he faced a Connor Mcgregor, Floyd Mayweather or Muhammed Ali like characters they would get under his skin. The Fame has definitely gone to his head which is a shame. If he fights Fury down the road he will be a hundred times worse than Parker. I really hope Parker pulls off the upset of the year Joshua has become to big for his boots.

Good post bro
