Parker fight was a farce, thanks to the ref that Eddie paid.
Its sad that Eddie and AJ would rather have a completely rigged, dud fight, than risk a fair fight and put on a good spectacle for the fans.

I have been part or indirectly involved in this bet. You definitely know nothing about it but you decided to expose you assz.
I can't be wrong for calling you a jaguar. You are faster than your self.

I don't think AJ, or any of the others, are going to beat everybody easily. But if they did that wouldn't be bad for the sport.
A dominant champion, who seems to be unbeatable, has a glamour that attracts casual fans, some because they want to see him keep winning, others because they want to see him lose. Floyd is a great example of that.
Cleaning out a division is hard enough, but keeping it clean is a task that never ends.
We can talk about how good Klitschko was, but who were the big rivals? My gut feel says that if Joshua were to beat Wilder and Fury, he wouldn't be considered as highly as if he emerged as the best from a series of close fights. After those fights he'd be back to the Povetkins and Whytes. That's what keeping the division clean looks like.
He can't go up in weight class, so he can't keep proving himself. Floyd could do that - prove himself the best, move up for a new challenge and do it all again.
So I want the big fights, want to get to one name, but if we were to get to absolute clarity it won't be exciting as it is right now. Luckily it looks like it's going to take years!

There is far to much focus in this forum on the subject of clearing out a division by collecting the ABCs. This is a fable and worthless example to determine the best. There is a long history of paper champions who hold onto belts and claiming their belt by beating them is by no means an achievement unless of course it makes you a 2x champion or 3x champion which is why when a champion looses he will look for a weak champion to achieve that multiple champion status. It’s all a game.
The cruserweight division is a nonsense weight category there’s better fights in light heavyweight and heavyweight so what if Usyk claimed all the belts it’s just for the record nothing more.
I’m not sure you can question Andre Ward he was a tremendous fight and put the big names in their place.
This forum is rightly about AJ and for him he has a lot of work to do. I think all that time he spent with Klitschko he thought he could mimick his career and be a 10 year champion while ploughing in huge paychecks. That is not going to happen right now and thank the boxing Gods for that. In my view there are 3 champions out there Fury Wilder and Joshua and any one can be number one. They all have to fight to earn the right to be called best in this post Klitschko era and it’s going to take some time to come to fruition.
The numbers in USA are so big they can’t be ignored Joshua has to go there and shine to the public but in my view I think he has already lost that popularity contest to Fury.
Don’t get confused with the moniker of champion and the best those are not the same thing particularly in boxing.
