Everyone scared of dropping their 0 unless it's in a big paying title fight rather than testing themselves. Love to see these 2 young lions in the ring next year.
While we're at it.... Ruiz Jr vs Brazeale Fury vs Wilder Teper vs Helenius Martin vs Washington Gjerjaj vs Glaskov Force every top 50 HW to risk their cherry vs someone gonna fight back.:huh Instead....how's about they continually level up their competition and if they continue winning, they bring their undefeated record into title fights vs one another down the road when their'll be ACTUAL $$$$$$$$ to be made for them.:good
Yeah needs a few years to allow them to build to their potentials and start dominating the HW competition. The writing appears to be on the wall though
Their paths may eventually cross but the fight could be a bigger fight down the line. As a fan I'd want it sooner rather than later but the men behind both these fighters probably won't want to take the risk just yet.
To be a champ you don't have to be undefeated ... That mindset is exactly what's killing boxing. Hagler wasn't undefeated when he fought for world title, neither was pacquaio and many other "greats"
Nice joke. NOBODY would be so STUPID to risk Joshua's 0 at this time. Joshua is the future cash cow of the division.
Not so simple. He won't be a cash cow without a suitable opponent, and Parker seems to be the ideal one at this stage. Joshua has finally faced the stiffer competition of the two, and impressively so and as such I lead him slightly ahead of Parker but Parker is still building up too. Both guys are big, fast and smart fighters - a meeting between those two after they have a bit more ring time will be awesome at this rate.
No one really knows who Joseph Parker is outside of the non-casual boxing fans. It would be a damn nice fight and would push Joshua out of the first and second gear.
