Comments Thread For: Parker Smiles, Assures That Joshua Will Never Make it To Wilder

Pretty sure he won those fights eh?

Took them the distance and outboxed them...

It ain't all about the knockout but in this fight it Soooooo is!!!

Yes he won but was not overly impressive in doing so, especially against Ruiz and Fury.

Ruiz has underrated skills for a chunky guy and fury will be avoided by everybody cos his style will make anyone look bad.

If AJ loses, gets the rematch and loses against Parker again, I reckon he'll retire cos he won't need the money.

Just don't think he's driven towards legacy and unifying as a contender.

He'll cash out and preserve his body and head for quality of life sake.

Even if AJ beats Parker I reckon he'll duck Wilder and crush cans for 5 years and then maybe just maybe cash out.

I just dont think AJ is up to the windmill test in the short term. Why would you face wilder if you didn't have to ?

In the meantime, there's some hungry young lions coming up and the spectre of the gypsy king looking to take the one dimensional windmill down...

Team Joshua doesn't perceive him as a threat because if they did then they wouldn't be fighting him now wouldn't they?

[PensionKiller]

I sort of feel the same way but AJ and his stamina issues (the Takam gassing was inexcusable imo) make me wonder. Parker is compact and crafty. Could survive and find an opening during one of Joshua's lulls.

I am in the UK and love using apps. Sometimes I am at a place without any TV so pay using the app. Technology is great!

No they do see him as a threat because if they didn't they wouldn't insert the rematch clause, I don't think team Joshua really trust his chin. Team Parker did not insist on the rematch clause because they have full confidence in their fighter, funny how Team Joshua don't have the same faith.

The Ruiz and Fury fights were very. very close and could have gone either way. He looked like pure **** against Cojanu who probably isn't top 50, and was unconvincing against a common opponent in Takam - a guy who Joshua won every round against without leaving first gear.

People keep talking about Joshua's chin and Parker's power - Parker hasn't got a single legitimate stoppage since stepping up to world level. The only stoppage win he has against an anyway decent opponent is Dimitrenko and that wasn't a finish at all. Parker pushed him down, landed a body shot while he was grounded and Dimitrenko went rolling around looking for the DQ.

As I said, I think Fastcar and that oddball Higgins are doing an excellent job of overselling Parker's chances here.
