Off Topic Joshua V Parker

Does Parker get a re-match? Think Povetkin is the mandatory contender but they can pay him to step aside.

Whyte v Povetkin on the undercard would be great.

 

I don't think that Joshua would fancy Povetkin. Not the biggest scalp and he's got real knockout power.
He'd still be a massive favourite, but the chance of a scare would definitely be there.
Whyte v Povetkin would definitely be worth watching. Couldn't see that going to points.

Joshua had a rematch clause if he'd have lost, but I don't think that Parker has one.

AJ will fight Wilder next and if he gets through that he'll be talked about as a great, meanwhile the kid Dubois has been banging AJ cold in sparring sessions and once he gets his opportunity he'll probably end him, because he's an actual good fighter.

I'm bored of the manufactured AJ hype.

 

He’s knocked out 20/21 opponents and won against a world champ at a canter. Appreciate the quality wasn’t great but what more can the bloke have done at this stage in his career?

 

He has only fought one real quality opponent who was finished and over the hill by the time he got in the ring with him and even then he struggled. He did to Parker exactly what Fury did to Wlad yet Fury gets called all the ****e under the sun and AJ is being compared to Floyd Mayweather for pulling off a tactical masterclass ffs.

If 2015's Fury returns he'll beat AJ, if not then Dubois will probably bang him if Hearn let's his crown jewel take a beating.

 

Far too early to be talking him up, in my opinion. Very young and inexperienced. He's still fighting absolute nobodies.

 

He’s fought one bloke with a Wiki page and he’s a Cameroonian best known for fleeing the Olympic village in 2012. Probably working as a bouncer in Shoreditch now.

 

He's now a cruiserweight and is still losing regularly, apparently: http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/707923

 

It was all looking so good when he beat Shane Dragonslayer too.

 

Who is comparing AJ to Mayweather? Joshua had a game plan, and he stuck to it almost to perfection. Boxing is an art, and Joshua showed Saturday that he has far more than just punching power about him.

That style Saturday beats Wilder just as easy.

Had Fury stood toe to toe with WK, he'd have got sparked out. Fury just ran around the ring throwing a couple of jabs every 3 minutes. He's one of the worse heavyweight champions ever. And he was probably taking his extra vitamins too.

 

Anyone who knows about hype?

 

AJ won't beat Wilder.

 

We'll see. There's no way that fight's gonna happen in the next 2-3 years anyway. If it happens sooner it's only because DD has earned it.

AJ was being hyped as unstoppable when he was banging bums around. I'm not saying he hasn't earned it but he's had a relatively easy route to the top.

 

Agree. There's no way Wilder will agree to fight him.

 

He's said many a time he wants to.

 

Saving face. He'll stay in America and continue to fight in front of his 500 fans.

I'll be very surprised if it happens.

 

AJ may have to go stateside then.

 

He's already said that won't happen. Made £18 million fighting in front of 80,000 fans Saturday apparently. Holds 4 of the 5 recognised belts. Wilder needs him more.

 

So AJ wont go to the states, Wider wont come to England. Sound like 2 big ****ing knobbers to me.

 

Politics destroyed boxing a long time ago. Bastards like Eddie Hearn keep making it worse.
