    I doubt Wlad is "ducking" Joshua.
    He obviously values the WBA belt more than the IBF.

    Perhaps I've missed a sarcasm masterclass here but it looks like you want to compare Joshua to 'Fat' Eddie Chambers? GTFOH.

    It's a shame nobody gives a **** about what he values and just want him to take the much better fight than the **** one he's going to try and peddle.

    which is suffice to say he doesn't want to have to fight AJ to do it, i'm not even a big AJ fan but Parker has definitely swerved him and if Wlad fights someone else so has he

    Clearly you are, otherwise you wouldn't be speaking such rubbish about Parker swerving AJ.

    Parker was ready and willing to fight on the 26th November, before Hearns started negotiating with Bonte. Once parker's team realised they were playing political games, they looked for alternative routes to the title.

    It is clear Hearn's wanted nothing to do with Parker, otherwise the fight could have been made without much fuss.

    well i'm not its just fact. Parker is going to box in a 4 man tournament instead of taking on AJ and he the Ruiz fight came about before the AJ/Wlad talk. Clear he wanted none of Parker but wanted to fight Wlad, wheres the logic in that?

    Parker was waiting on AJ. Do not make me have to supplement further evidence to prove this. He only opted to fight Ruiz after Hearns made it clear he had no intention of fighting parker on 26 November by negeotiating with k2.

    Parker isn't going to wait around for a snake oil salesmen to put a concrete offer on the table while he's putting offers to other parties.

    Of course it would make sense for Joshua to fight Wladmir over Parker, just like it made sense for Brook to fight GGG over a welterweight. Because they have excuses to fall back for when they lose. In brooks case it was the weight, and in Joshua's case it would have been experience.

    In summary there is far more to lose taking on Parker where he would lose his reputation as a legitimate fighter where he can argue there is no shame to losing to one of the heavyweights legendary ATG.

    It depends really, if the IBF were willing to sanction the fight despite Wlad not being ranked with them then yes I agree but I haven't heard anything from them to confirm or deny that. Wlad's already No 2 with the WBA so i figure it's easier for him to get his hands on the title. That said, it would surprise me if the IBF refused to sanction the AJ-Wlad fight.

    Eric Molina confirmed himself that Hearn's contact with him had nothing to do with Joshua. It was to fight Whyte or Price on the undercard.

    Price would be KO'd by Molina.

    unless your Eddie Hearn or Dean Lonergan, you have no evidence, just like i dont have any real evidence, im going off what is reported by media and said by the people involved, could be bull, could be true, how do you know there wasn't a concrete offer? Hearn seemed just as confident that Parker would be AJs next opponent as he was that the Wlad fight would happen

    i think the WBA ruling on the sanctioning is the main reason for this fight not happening, but thats only coz Wlad is so insistent on fighting for WBA, which i dont understand because he lost his IBF belt to Fury as well. does SEEM like he is looking for the easy root, but its boxing, nothing is ever as it seems

    I think your wrong Billy, Eddie could fly Dustin Nichols in and sell a fight on the back of him rocking Wilder put it on PPV and it would sell to the masses of casuals. Casuals dont care who AJ fights he will always do 400k+ buys.
