Erm Joshua was scheduled to fight Whyte until thee failed test, Although admittedly Whyte is still a bit of a punching bag for Joshua but more of a 50-50 for Parker.
Calling it now: "Who has Hrgovic ever beaten? He barely even deserved the decision against 39-year old Zhang with three round stamina and Dubois is even worse, and apart from that Hrgovic has only faced club fighters. He was wildly overrated, just as Joshua will be once again with this win."
Realistically, you wouldn't and you know it. You'd flip around to looking at Hrgovic and why he's so overhyped and how little he's actually done as a pro... And then conclude that AJ beating him means nothing because he's not that good. And you wouldn't be totally wrong to point all that out (I've done it plenty), but let's not pretend that we'd give out credit as if the hype was real when it's clearly OTT.
Erm so what does that have to do with the question I answered? Also Whyte a 50-50 off the back of beating two top 5 opponents in a row? Are you high?
No this is a lie. Hrgovic is overhyped yes, he's still a decent fighter and he's in his prime. Credit to whoever beats him. Surely aj will chose Hrgovic over past it fighters
Why is Whyte a suitable comeback opponent for Parker and yet for Joshua he is apparently fighting sub standard opposition?
I didn't say Whyte was a bad comeback fight for AJ. You did. And did you miss the part where I said Parker should of been fighting better opposition after Joyce? Same applies to AJ. Difference is Parker has stepped up since then and AJ hasn't. Not sure why you're struggling to understand that.
Not a lie, an honest prediction. Massively overhyped - decent by the looks of it, but massively overhyped (his only good win is 2-2-1 against top 200 ranked fighters, remember!). If the rumours are true that he'll target the better performing winner of Dubois/Hrgovic or Wilder/Zhang, then there's a reasonable chance of it happening... On hype, Hrgovic should be a mismatch for Dubois whilst Wilder/Zhang looks more 50/50 - but anything could happen and I wouldn't even be that shocked if Dubois won.
I was critical of the Whyte fight. Joshua has already beaten him once and Whyte is on a clear decline since the povetkin fight. I just find it strange that you rate Parker above Joshua and also wanted Parker to fight someone like whyte and yet when Joshua signs to fight him it’s deemed not good enough. As I’ve already said the supposed “rebuilding” of both Joshua and Parker are following similar timeframes. Joshua since then has had the Ngannou “fight” which is basically £30m for nothing, no fighter would turn that down. The people to blame for that fight happening are Tyson fury and the casual audience which created the demand for it. If Parker had the opportunity he would have done the exact same thing.
Whilst zhang is old and slow Wilder is 47 fights into his career, has two wins in the last 5 years and hasn’t beaten anybody anywhere near as good as Zhang. It’s unlikely he will start now.
So if you're talking so much crap about Hrgovic then stop being upset about others not giving him credit for winning such performances I rate Hrgovic. If it's a controversial win thats a different story
What's wrong with Parker fighting Whyte directly after a KO loss against Joyce? And where did I say AJ signing to fight him wasn't good enough? I'm not sure how many times I have to repeat this, but I don't care how much AJ gets paid. You'll crap on Fury for taking it despite the pay but you'll try and use the same reasoning to justify it for AJ where both should be unacceptable. How many more rebuilding/gimmick fights does AJ need here? Maybe we should start calling him TJ for Tyson Jr. Everyone else except AJ seem to be trying to actually challenge themselves.
