Joseph Parker vs David Price negotiations for Joshua undercard

if he faces joshua. he hasn't beaten parker yet. it is sad fury ducked him. he might be the title holder now.

 

Oh I would love that!!! Imagine if Price pulled off the upset. I know the chances are < 3% but my god this would be epic. I hope they make this fight!

 

I can see Price pulling it off if his chin holds, and he's actually motivated. Who knows what state of mind Price is in now.

 

This fight makes perfect sense for Parker. Fights a taller fighter in prep for Joshua, fights a Brit which will expose him to UK fans and other than a punchers chance from Price, possesses minimal risk.

Both are at their most effective when allowed to get off first and with Price having no jab and Parker the quicker hands, I see a pretty comfortable win for Parker.

 

If Parker actually fights Dimitrenko and then Price... nobody can say he's not trying to get a perfect prep for AJ.

 

Yup, and let's say one thing: If Parker struggles with Pricey he will have a hard time being competitive with AJ.

 

Hope this fight happens, you would have to favour Parker but this fight is way harder to call than people think. No denying Price carries power and I would not be shocked if he managed to KO Parker.

 

You may have just made the most ridiculous comment in the history of ESB. Well done.

His only chance is to let his hands go and hope he can land big, fight ending blows before his brittle mandible is shattered by a range finder jab.

 

This is Price's last chance at a big payday. He needs to land a hailmary righthand on Parker, then a lucky shot on AJ. Chances are about 1 in a million but that's his only chance.

If Pricey ducks Parker he won't ever get a chance at the big leagues again.

 

does anyone actually believe price knocked out joshua in sparring. the guys a farce

 

I think Prices chances in this are under rated, Parker is so so easy to hit as proved by the Takam fight, Parker can't get hit by the same amount of shots with price or else it could be lights out.
Vice versa as well mind.

 

No way. Stiverne, Molina, Duhaupas, Szpilka all beat Price. Price obviously is a privileged guy. He's done NOTHING to even be in the title picture.

 

Price isn't close to AJ. Just stop. Anyway Parker(or any top 10 HW) should easily beat Price considering Price isn't any good.

 

Where the hell did I say Price is even remotely as good as AJ?

You're imagining chit, more like boxingmoron than boxinggenius.

I simply implied Parker would benefit in facing a taller opponent like AJ. I never implied Price is anywhere near as good as AJ.

 

Fraudley won an Olympic gold - that's what bought him his goodwill.

Price won bronze at the Olympics and gold at the Commonwealth games. It gives you a big head start in boxing to win medals for your country.
