    Easiest money Joe will ever make,

    I had high hopes for Whyte 2 years ago but he has regressed, I think he is too comfortable and has had it too easy. He appears to have a massively overhyped reputation on the basis of next to nothing and thinks he has earned a title shot.

    Just looking at Whyte and you know he doesn't train very hard, he looks fatter than Chisora ever has. Whyte has the talent to be decent but he is ultimately too lazy and gets by on his mouth.

    He talks a good game like he will fight anyone, but then he won't even fight Chisora ffs.

    Parker will box Whytes ears off, he's too quick and has better stamina and enough power to stop him in his tracks.

    I am sure Parker would love that Whyte pay day too, why isn't it on the line for him?

    If you struggle against Hughie Fury you're not going to "Box Whyte's ears off".

    Neither Wilder or Parker would want to fight a 'live' guy before Joshua, it makes no sense.

    Why doesn't Joshua just make an offer for the fight and call their bluff 60/40 then

    Do you know who Hughie Fury is?

    Hughie is 6ft6, long, fast hands, the foot work of a ballerina.
    Hughie is one of the best pure boxers you will see, Whyte is a caveman in comparison.

    Whyte is not a very skilled boxer by any means, he isn't even a huge puncher either.

    Parker is quite capable of boxing his ears off and so is Hughie.

    AJ fans calling for Wilder and Parker to make an offer to him. That's just funny.

    If they really had, all of the same AJ fans would be ridicuoling them, saying things like "they are the C side, they have no name, they have no drawing power, who the hell think they are by making an offer to the A side, Joshua calls the shots, they have to wait until Hearn makes an offer" and all that.

    I guess they're missing the point of being the cash cow and the the one who calls the shots: It means that you fight whoever you want(almost), you determine how, when and where the fights take place, you start and end the negotiations. And the others just get in line and ask for the fight.

    To be honest I don't think they would fight Wilder next if it was 99/1 in AJ's favour
    The risk and reward factor isn't there, AJ can fight Fujimoto and the brits will come in their millions and AJ Will make a killing.

    You're right, Whyte isn't really a bigger name than Hughie, Ruiz or Takam.

    But he isn't really a bigger name than Stiverne, Arreola or even Audley either.

    Fact is Joshua can fight bums from here to eternity and he will be praised as greater than Ali, why prove yourself when its too much of a risk to your good thing, I call this GGG syndrome.

    You call it wrong. Wilder and Parker are the ones who are suffering from the GGG syndrome, what you're referring to is "The Junior" syndrome, by which you prefer to milk your daddy's name against no hopers instead of taking fights where you'd be the underdog.

    Give me one fight where GGG was underdog please just one?
    FFS he has never come close to taking a risk, Canelo is a money fight nothing more nothing less!!!!

    Money doesn't = Risk, Money= Reward!!!!!!!

    Heck I am sure GGG could make even more against Conor McGregor but he would be a unbackable favourite there too

    Jr was underdog against Saunders and backed in to favourtism by the fans,
    Jr entered WBSS as the 3rd favourite and 3rd seed

    Canelo is a money fight, but as proven, It's also a risky and even fight.

    Junior avoided even fights like the plague for quite a time after losing his "O", one of those fights he avoided is one that GGG worked for months get made. But he finally stepped up to the plate(though you can the Groves fight a money fight as well, but I don't play that game. A risky fight is a risky fight regardless of the money involved) so all is well from now on.

    Parker AJ makes far more sense than Parker Whyte.

    Whyte is the number 1 most over rated HW boxer out there. His biggest win was a narrow UD loss to a shopworn brawler Chisora. His biggest fight involved getting ICED by AJ.

    Parker would stop him mid to late rounds. It would be a very easy win for Parker. Hearn knows this full well so doesn't offer that fight.
