Is it safe to say that Parker's resume is better than Joshua's resume?

Youre a casual fan. If you found it woeful than so be it. Klitschko vs Joshua could go the distance, hope you enjoy that.

 

Bahaha I suspect from the comments in here that one (or more) of the numpties I ignored ages ago are making ******ed comments in here. I recommend using that feature, Rockradar.

 

Big time casual fan.. Boxing doesn't offer up much to the hardcore fan anymore.

 

Are those two wins better than anything Wilder has? Prob.

I'm pretty confident that AJ dismantles Parker post the Ruiz fight though. Sure there are plenty of what ifs still surrounding Joshua but with Parker the case for his early career having flattered to deceive is building up steam. It's interesting to me that both team Joshua and Parker don't seem to fancy a Haye fight either considering one's a domestic blockbuster in the U.K. and the other is his mando.

 

Whether smart or not, Team Parker have said or done nothing to indicate not being keen on Haye. They've actually said they're keen to fight him - so not sure where you're getting that idea from.

The only reason there is any question about whether or when it would happen is that Haye has signed to fight Bellew when a defense has been demanded for, so Hughie Fury is likely to end up filling that spot. If you got that idea from Team Parker asking for clarification on the situation, its because of that - not because they're trying to dodge.

 

You're totally wrong here hombre. Way before the Bellew fight was anymore than a twinkle in Hearn's eye team Parker were talking down a Haye fight saying it was a pointless fight for them whilst talking up a number of lesser fighters as great opponents.

That tells me that Haye is someone they're not keen to face.

 

It was Haye who didn't fancy the fight with Parker and passed on the WBO mandatory position, though he must be reconsidering that after seeing Parker against Ruiz. I wanna see Hughie Fury vs Jarrel Miller as an eliminator for next WBO mando, It'd be a very nice fight.

 

The thing with Haye is, all the top contenders are waiting to see him in a live fight to discover if Haye 2.0 is as formidable as the original. But also none of them want to be the crash test dummy. It's a case of who blinks first because if he's still as quick and powerful as ever - or close to - he's a big problem for all the top names out there. Hearn won't risk AJ CashCow. And I reckon the same with Parker.

 

Def. difference is Haye has mando status with Parker.

 

Even Wilder has a better resume than Joshua.

 

90% of the Haye who KO'd Chisora would have handled Parker on Saturday. But we just don't know what he's got left...

 

Haven't seen that - got any references? Which lesser opponents? Only reason I can see it plausible if there was little reward vs the risk involved.

 

I think you'll find that David Haye has called out Anthony Joshua a lot more than Parker. Joshua is one of the most called out champions (e.g. Klitschko, Haye, Fury). Just look at youtube, all my proof is on there.

We all know Hayes been wanting Joshua and now that seems swept under the rug and Parker (who Haye hasnt really called out) is now the chicken?

Proof of Parker avoiding Haye? or just talking sh1t? lets not do fantastical.

 

They totally dismissed Haye as a threat saying he wouldn't go 3 rounds with Parker whilst talking up lesser opponents. Joshua whilst the money fight in the division is also seen as a more dangerous prospect.

It's not like Haye is talking down Parker and talking up Browne or Briggs is it? And I still don't rate Ruiz. Parker just wasn't as good as I thought he was.

 

It was Dean Lonegran talking to Sky Sports. I started a thread on it - Team Parker Dismisses Haye.

Fat boy Ruiz was one they were talking up for sure - I'm still disappointed that Parker didn't handle him his undisciplined ass whilst others like Browne were also being mentioned if I remember correctly.
