Comments Thread For: Joseph Parker: Junior Fa Priced Himself Out, Wanted Too Much

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There were negotiations for New Zealand showdown between Joseph Parker and Junior Fa, but the two sides were unable to agree on the money. Parker, a former WBO heavyweight champion, and Fa, an undefeated contender, had met four times in the amateurs with each boxer gaining two wins.

Not wrong, Fa was looking for half a mil to fight Parker when he's got no one on the resumé of note. He needs to build up a lil something beforehand to be demanding that pay. Parker's better off fighting Demsey McKean in another local rivalry.

Parker and his manager were never going to take this fight. They will either fight bums or for a title, that's it. They will never put Parker in there with someone who could ruin his chances for another title bid, even though when Parker fights the big fights, he's not aggressive enough. This guy will never be anywhere close to being champion again so I hope he saves his money.

I don't understand. Junior Fa has no chance against Parker.

Two wrongs don't make you right!

Joseph parker is a bum hunter. The guy just looks good on pads. Junior fa would probably beat parker's ass, thus him using the ole "he priced himself out" routine. Ducked chrisora with a questionable spider bite. Credibility gone, out the window

No, but two rights make me right hahaha. Parker has a lot of excuses when it comes to making decent fights. And again, when he steps up into the bigger fights, he isn't aggressive enough to win. He seems like a decent guy outside the ring, but if he doesn't have that beast in him by now, he never will.

FA isn't even "famous in new Zealand" which trust me it's not hard to become.

I don't think Parker is ducking this guy let's be serious who is Fa he looked bad the only time I saw him on ShoBox against Lewis. I know hes tied with Joseph in the amateurs it's different though I think Parker should beat him easily in the pros but to say Parker is ducking him and Chisora cmon guys.

I like Dereck he is good for boxing but he always loses in big fights I don't think Parker would be scared to fight him after fighting the guy who knocked him out cold and the last 2 unified heavyweight champions (Joshua and Ruiz). Would be a great fight to see and I was looking forward to it because Dereck always comes to fight but I believe the spider bite **** happens people act like these fighters aren't regular people.
