    I hope it's just speculation, people have started saying that all is STILL not necessarily well in the Parker camp and that the fact that Parker is relocating to the UK is partly a sign of that. There is the possibility that despite what the media etc are being told that this camp didn't go anywhere near as well as they would have hoped, and that Parker may be leaving Barry for another trainer - Sir Bob Jones alluded to the team not being confident of how things are going for this fight as being the reason Higgins was so highly strung at the press conference this week.

    That lot of incompetent, clueless fools would be more aptly named Dupeco than Duco.

    I think it will be anti-war. It will be Hughie dancing about using a defensive jab to keep Parker away but having no intent on really engaging.

    I hope Parker pressures Hughie from the off . If he wastes no time I don't see Hughie's dancing keeping him out of trouble for 12 rounds.

    Hopefully Parker forces the action all night.

    That is my bet

    I'm finding it really hard to care, I don't see either of them as being all that relevant in the division.

    Parker just clinging onto his belt until he gets a fat pay check for getting iced by AJ

    Wilder has been clinging. Parker has made no effort at any point to dodge anyone. I am getting RATHER sick of so called boxing fans expecting everyone to be GOAT or are a bum.

    parker fighting takam and ruiz is better then anyone on wilders resume so far.. so if anyone was clinging onto a belt its wilder... and if aj and parker do fight (I think aj would win) but I don't see parker getting iced or knocked out early.. he has a decent chin and throws fast punches which I think would throw aj off for 3-4 rounds. before he got used to it.

    AJ vs Parker will make more sense after this weekend...

    Corrupt decision, the corrupt UK referee has been replaced with another UK referee and the orginal UK crook will be a judge. So, Parker has to knock Hughe out to get a draw! Hell, they probably brought Byrd to the UK to score for Hughie. Parker needs to get away from his trainer, get a new trainer, Sanchez would be good.....................

    I never said anything about Wilder or his resume in comparison to Parker

    Wilder sucks, so does his resume and Parker would likely destroy him

    Yeah, AJ is much better off fighting no-hoper Eurotrash types like Kubrat whathisname than guys who have won a belt and made the effort to defend it a few times.

    The heavyweight division would be so much more interesting if AJ could keep doing that.

    These young undefeated guys should just forget all about facing each other and leave AJ to defend against blokes who have qualified for their title shot by beating Kingpin Johnson, Samuel Peter & Maurice Harris.

    I like Joseph and Hughie. Both decent blokes.
    Good luck to both of them.
