    He should really fight Wilder in a unification then AJ can get the winner but Parker would rather fight guys like Browne.

    Yes he isn't bigger than domestic rivals such as Whyte, Fury or Haye. There is no disputing that.

    My point is this hasn't stopped AJ in past from fighting lesser known figthters with very poor reputation's

    Sky had to drip feed information for the casuals on Takam last week, as not one of them knew who he was and thought he was some bum.

    The same with Molina who was a voluntary defense

    Parker has a solid chin.

    What concerns me, is that he seems to get quite tired himself, later in the rounds

    Joshua vs Parker/Wilder have the potential to be big fights.

    Joshua beating Parker straight after beating Martin would've been a complete waste.

    You have to build these fights.

    Eddie Hearn has done a job on you!

    Next you will be telling me that Wilder has to fight Whyte before he is worthy of fighting Joshua!

    The thing is, Parker and Wilder don't want to fight as they both risk losing the payday with joshua.

    They'd be better off fighting the biggest profile british heavyweights in britain.

    Wilder wants that fight he said it many times when Fury pulled out.

    AJ don’t seem to be keen on fighting Wilder soon, so really those two should get it on for a crack at AJ.

    You probably have, and are exactly the kind of 'fan' with arrogance which limits the sports growth.

    Boxing cannot survive on its hardcore fans. If you want 'mega fights' you need casuals who buy into the hype.


    Take the current heavyweight division right now. It's only 'alive', albeit barely, because of Joshua and the support of casuals.

    When boxing becomes about strictly business and politics then the fights that should be made, don't get made and enablers such as yourself fall for the spin by slick snake oil salesmen who sell you frauds who are not interested in cementing legacies but rather securing larger pay packets.

    Quality fights between two top elite fighters sells itself. It doesn't need drummed up pre match hype and all the glorified pantomine trash talk. This it the trash which nourishes the minds of the brain dead who need constant stimulation.

    I have no problem with casual fans, not having has the time or desire to devote themselves to watching dozens of boxing fights.

    I have a problem with casuals who jump on the bandwagon and pretend they know more than those who have seen most of what they have just began to see.

    Name me a fighter, with a 'cemented legacy' who never received a pay packet.....


    If Parker fought Joshua 2 years ago, what could he legitimately demand? 10%? Maybe 20%??


    For your example of "Wilder doesn't have to fight Whyte"....you're correct.
    But Wilder is the one demanding a "50/50" split with AJ, despite not bringing in 50% of the fights potential makings.

    I really like Joseph Parker but unfortunatly of the 3 champs i see him as by far the weakest, Im sure he has seen weaknesses in AJ, we all have, but i dont think he is good enough take advantage of any of them. Biggest weakness is his Stamina but Parker hasnt got good stamina either he would gas out trying to gas AJ out.
