I like it, it’s gonna make AJ mad hopefully Parker can take advantage

Devastating put downs so far...

"You're the king of pies" "So, you're the king of steroids"

 

If I was Joseph I'd simply say "Monique thinks you're dumb".

 

He only had to say it once and he has.

 

I think people way too easily jump on the "He looks on roids, therefore he must be" bandwagon.

 

I'm not sure AJ is 'King of steroids' as there are plenty steroid users in boxing (I'd say most elite boxers use it). Maybe AJs reaction on PEDs/h2h are better than others. He also has great genetics.

 

There should be a poll. Does Anthony Joshua take steroids?
A. Yes, just look at him.
B. No, I'm British.

 

This is straight from Higgins' Train-Wreck Publicity Textbook. Brilliant move. Cause a scene to promote the fight and get under their skin, but don't make it contrived

Choose something with just enough needle to irritate and disrupt, but do it carefully

They did the same thing with Hughie Fury and the Referee. This, however, is on another level

I like it a lot.

Eddie H said we're gonna see a nastier side to AJ this time; sounds like it comes with a lot of counter-allegations of being an obvious drug cheat! Anthony Joshua: The King Of Steroids

 

Lol, neither of them are really great at trash talking to be fair, which is probably why neither of them should do it. At least Wlad had an excuse when his trash talking fell flat, with English not being his native tongue, but these guys should be able to come up with something better than basically calling one a fatty and the other a cheater.

 

Pretty dumb statement (even if it is stating the obvious). It sets Parker up for a lot of grief down the line and a possible libel threat.

Should have just stuck to needling Joshua about his superior race nonsense. That's not something that can be really defended.

 

Seems Parker is already looking for an excuse for his loss.

 

'My dad could beat up your dad'

 

Trash talking just doesn't come naturally to either and neither should bother with it. This is a unification fight that sells itself. This mock hate between two guys who obviously respect each other is just coming across as forced and fake.
