    @JK the kind of steroids vs the king of pies. Go the pies.

    Apparently Graham Norton was taking the piss out of Parker and saying he doesn't look like a pro athlete? What da fuck?

    He reminds me of the Jesse Ryder of boxing. Chubby but doesn't really hinder performance. I can see what Norts was saying

      I can too but I don't think he's out of shape, I think it's a genetic thing. A guy like SBW gets into shape and has like 30 rippling abs, whereas Parker will never get that "ridiculously cut" look that other people can despite being super fit.

      Ryder was genuinely just fat.

        Have they not seen Tyson Fury lately?

        Parker looks in great shape to me, not a roided freak like Joshua.

          Compared to what Tua looked like at certain times Parker looks very trim.

            Parker is pretty rubbish at the old smack-talking, no more Mr. Niceguy outside the ring huh?

              Also appears to have the usual media hype added in there as what Joseph said in the article wasn’t quite as direct at all

                Joe has his Xmas weight onboard but nothing to worry about. Guess AJ is diff as he stays cut year round, rather than just leading into a fight. The roids comments aren't a good idea, but we are starting to get some good banter

                  Opening a can of worms with the steroids comments , the pie comments was an attempt at fun by a tv host ,

                  Steroid accusations is not a joke at all , that’s accusations of cheating , even if it’s true , you are getting into deep water going there .

                  Not smart , unless he is willing to talk more about it , every time a mic is put in front of him they are going to bait him on it

                    Fuck me Parker's one of the more conditioned fighters compared to a lot of other heavies. Great work from Higgins to get Joe the fight, he's done a really good job with Joe throughout his career.

                    It's all up to Joe and Kevin Barry now.

                      I reckon there is an 80+% chance AJ is on steroids (or PEDs of some description).

                        Joe’s Mum is not happy with the steroid comment. I’m sure the Norton comment was instigated by Hearn so JP shouldn’t have taken the bait. But fuck ‘em! 😊

                          He's only saying what every non AJ fanboy is thinking.

                            There seems to be a tactic of trying to get under AJs skin and disrupt his focus. Whether it pans out to be a good tactic will be seen later.
                            AJ likes to play himself as Mr Cool and in control. Take him out of that headspace and he won't be as clear on what he is doing.

                              I like AJ. He's a well spoken, likable kid. Probably on PEDs but I hope he's not.

                              I think Parker is doing what he has to do to sell himself. If he has to be a clown he going to do it. Im not really a huge fan of it, you always want our guy to be the cool one. But Higgins seems to have found a way to get Joe noticed and their all going to be rich regardless of the outcome.

                              I will say this though. Parker can win.

                                  Create headlines , helps sell pay per views , pretend they hate each other etc etc ,

                                  I actually think the steroid talk was a mistake they regret ,joe got a bit excited with the trash talk, they have back tracked pretty quickly on that one,

                                  But Higgins and Joe will talk more about Joshuas chin , and the fact he has been on the floor , antagonise him ,

                                  Hearn will come out and say , I think they are getting under Anthoney's skin ,and im not sure that is a wise move,

                                  Joshua will say , im going to teach this guy a lesson for being disrespectful , im going to knock him out

                                  And there is your sales pitch to the UK public.

                                      I think Parker is doing what he has to do to sell himself. If he has to be a clown he going to do it. Im not really a huge fan of it, you always want our guy to be the cool one. But Higgins seems to have found a way to get Joe noticed and their all going to be rich regardless of the outcome.

                                      I will say this though. Parker can win.

                                      Massive call Raz.

                                      Off topic slightly but imagine if tennis players had to trash talk to gain interest in a match. Roger Federer, who vies with Wynton Rider as the most boring athlete on earth, would be absolutely terrible.

                                      Who?

                                        Why has Parker turned into such a tool?

                                        I won't be gutted to see AJ knock his lights out.

                                          @hooroo I expect in part cos Higgins is a tool, and if you hang around someone enough?

                                          Yeah this side of him doesn't come naturally, just seems forced and comes across as a twat, need a bit of humour to make your talk work.
