I know Wilder struggled with him but that does not make him a good fighter.
Learn the difference between a unification fight vs a solid top 10, top 5 by most rankings, opponent and a journeyman then come back to me.
Yeah they made the fight with Parker instead of Wilder. Parkers team were negotiating and they came to a deal. At the time Parker was only slightly behind Wilder in terms of resume (close wins over Ruiz, Takam and HFury vs better wins over Stiverne, Szpilka and some other fringe guys)

Originally posted by Mrbamladen View PostAnthony Joshua. He had a fight lined up with pulev who pulled out the fight and was replaced with molina. While preparing for that fight, somewhere a deal was reached to fight Wladimir klitschko. Right after the fight, klitschko got in the ring and they announced the fight, date, and location of the fight. So a deal was already in place. So.....why isn't there a deal in place already, or negotiations going on right now???
Molina was the year before.
But also, are you dense? You arent answering my question at all. Molina was not a unification fight. It was a stay busy fight while they were putting the final touches on the Klitschko deal. There was no chance of Joshua losing vs Molina. Parker is completely different.

First off... your absolutely right. He actually chose to fight molina.
Second thing.......who gives a F₩%K about it being a unification or a regular fight??? Point is he negotiated the Wladimir fight with a fight already scheduled. Yet he's done no negotiations with wilder AT ALL!!!!! You Joshua fans kill me with the fan boy bs. Lol

Fighters can take a stay busy fight and negotiate/sign the next fight in the line because there is no danger.
Fighters never, as fsr as i can remember, sign a unification fight and have the next fight signed and sealed before they have fought. I honestly cant remember one time that has happened.
Maybe, maybe, you could argue a tournament format like WBSS could fit the bill there. But you would be reaching massively. Under normal circumstances fighters dont sign two unification fights in a row before they have fought their first one.
