Comments Thread For: Hearn: Let's Be Honest, Who Has Hit Parker's 'Granite Chin?'

[TheBigLug]

I absolutely agree, the reason he has ducked Wilder is to cash out because he knows his Diva has a glass jaw and is very suspect, good point partner!!!

I agree that they're sure Wilder is an extremely dangerous fight. No doubt they would rather get a few more paydays before the Wilder one

Not saying AJ can't beat Wilder, but i'm sure Hearn is well aware that Wilder can flatten AJ in a single shot. Joshua isn't some master boxer that will negate Wilder's right hand. He will be right there for it all night and no matter what anyone thinks of Wilder, he has a knack for finding the target.

one thing is for sure.... Casual fans are fickle. As soon as AJ loses, there will be no more stadium fights when the opponent is someone like Takam and no £10m+ purses v guys like that. Hearn knows that.

Remember when AJ won v Wlad, Hearn said they don't care about the belts and would drop them if it means making the best fights. Well Wilder v Joshua is the best fight and suddenly they wanted to fulfil mandatory obligations and whatnot.

That said, Wilder isn't helping matters by demanding 50%. Hopefully he's just starting negotiations high knowing that they will get his % down. But i think there's a truth that Hearn isn't keen on putting AJ in with Wilder sooner than he has to...

You said it Eddie ......nobody .This is exactly why this is not as you put it 'a big, big fight'

Come on now! How can you forget all-time greats Frans Botha and Alexander Dimitrenko? Parker's chin was really tested there.

Solid post here.

Even Eddie Hearns thinks this contest is uneventful but what do you expect? the fans know these two are paper champions.

Usually 'Fast' Eddie would be hyping up this 'Unification' -- I think he gave a better effort selling the Eric Molina PPV ( lol the UK bought that) ; I guess Hearns don't care anymore given that hes going to cash-out on A.J against Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder, yep...makes sense.

The idea of AJ cashing out against Deontay "Is he an NFL player?" Wilder is 24 carat comedy gold!

[BlackSoul]

notice how eddie hearn never said that anthony joshua hasnt been down at least "half a dozen times" or tried to contest that.
people say wilder is "chinny" but damn aj been down THAT many times well got damn who's REALLY the "chinny" one?

Must be so painful for you son that heavyweight boxing does not exist in Murica

[P4Pdunny]

Parker and David Higgins with his annoying face are on their 14th min of fame, when AJ blasts him out i wont be surprised if he fades into obscurity.

He must really hate the fact that yankee boxers aren't the force they once was.

I really pity him, I can only imagine the pain he is in
