Parker v ??

Brutal honesty. If JP beats AJ I would be as happy everyone else but I be fucken amazed as well.
I am a JP fan first and i have been picking apart AJs ability since both came into championship reckoning. I said AJ was slow had a glass jaw and tiny skinny legs that would hinder his punching power. I think its clear he is the strongest heavy weight in the world now, managed to come back from a knock down and is fast enough with his combinations to cause some damage quickly. I think his defence is better than JPs as well.
Simply put JP should dodge AJ for as long as it takes to get the fight up to where people are demanding it happen so the purse is as worthwhile as possible for JP. he needs to fight as many guys as possible and hopefully get what he needs to come at AJ. If that fails he'll walk away a multi millionaire.
I want JP to win but i also want him to look after himself.
@raznomore in all honesty , Joe wont have much trouble dodging him because I dont think they are too interested , not yet anyway
While us fans tend to look at the titles on offer , boxers , managers and promoters look more at the dollars on offer ,
They want the big money fights and Joe has little drawing power in the UK at this point in time

I read that the Furys will get their way with a medical certificate as Hughie will still be the WBO mandatory and the fight will be in England (more money). So Duco need to ensure it's in London, or as far away from Manchester as possible, and with neutral judges.
JP needs to win on Sat night first.

Tyson doesn't use need a medical cert, he needs a boxing licence.
Box he and his brother have to get past B samples on a drugs test as well. The Hughie Fury fight was squeezed in because they got a ruling that said while the doping charges were not proven he couldn't be stopped.
UKAD have not handed out any bans this year and have been given a long run around by the Sky cycling bunch which has made them look weak. If the B samples come in positive I don't see the 'contaminated meat' excuse holding off a ban.

Parker's advantage is no one knows him and he doesn't trash talk. Joshua has other people to fight. All the other top heavyweights are at least a year older than Parker. He just needs to take his time moving up the ranks. Joshua hadn't fought too many guys of note before Klitschko.

@hydro11 taking his time moving up the ranks may be difficult as a title holder .
WBO will want their belt associated with big as possible names and big fights .
Bigger names drawing big ppv numbers can cherry pick who they fight , I've got a feeling the wbo will not allow him that luxury.

It seems like no one really wants to fight Parker though. He certainly won't be fighting Joshua anytime soon because Joshua has lucrative fights against White, Klitschko and Fury. The only big fight I can see Parker getting is Wilder. I think most people would agree that if Parker can't beat Wilder, he won't beat Joshua anyway.

@hydro11 wilder makes sense at some stage with the winner walking away with 2 belts . Joshua would prob be interested in that winner for unification purposes .
With Joe , danger fights could depend what mandatory s the wbo throw his way .
So far they have had haye and h . Fury lined up , both fell through .
Be interesting to see what happens .

Wilder lets the cat out of the bag , claims the guy Joseph is fighting was his sparring partner in preparation for Fury ?

Not a surprise. JP said himself last week that Cojanu knows him better than any other boxer except Izu Ugonoh (his former training partner).

Ok , he doesn't look impressive in the limited you tube footage available.

Agreed. Good technical boxer but not ready for an athletic heavyweight

Went to the afl , and watched it on these cool TV screens that fold out from your seat ,
Looked lacklustre, he won't have too many of the top heavyweights having sleepless nights .
