    You should pick your words more carefully. I don't think anyone would describe what Fury did as "F'ing Klitschko up".

    Can we start a pick-the-date-Hughie-pulls-out pool? Just post the calendar between now and the alleged September fight date and people sign up for their date?

    Might as well get some entertainment out of it.

    As I said in post before, some don't truly understand. Parkers sparring partner was a rush job to get someone in there for the May fight night date. Like I said before, thats not Joes fault that Hughie didn't turn up. The WBO is different from the WBC lol. Ill give you a hint the - the last initial for each organisation. To not know that is to not know boxing. You do know boxing Im sure...
    Did I say Andy Ruiz was mandatory? lol. Prove it, if you don't prove it then we know who of us two gets it wrong. I'll wait for you to prove I said Ruiz was a mandatory.
    Again, there seems to be a lot that you don't know. Google 'Joseph Parker ordered by the WBO to fight mandatory', there will be articles there to explain to you so you get it.

    Lets not forget Deontay Wilder could have fought Joseph Parker early this year. In December 2016 Joe tried to get a fight with Wilder. Wilder went quiet for almost a week (similar to the quiet Wilder had when Whyte called him out) and then Wilder announced he will be fighting Wawryzk instead. You seem to forget this. Remember and never forget - Wilder in December 2016 had two options;
    1. Parker
    2. Wawryzk
    Lets see how good your boxing knowledge is. Which of those two available options did Wilder pick to fight?

    I look forward to your response ;) hopefully you don't 'duck' any what Ive asked ;)

    I don't know.

    Why don't you ask Wilder who is the current KING of hiding.

    Seriously, he is the champ. Think about how many fights he has had compared to Parker???

    Lmmfao

    Anyway, Wilder should just fight someone. If he wants to fight lowly ranked Washington or Wawryzk while Parker and Joshua picks number one contenders then thats a difference right there that people should look at.

    Wilder talks and talks says he will fight anyone but when people call him out, he goes quiet. I respect Wilder as a champion but he just seems to talk more than fight. We all know Joe is fighting, what about Wilder? Whats he doing? Talking? I remember Wilder said 'silence is golden' lol.

    'Whats up with Deontay Wilder?' should be the name of this thread because we all know where Parker and Joshua are but no one here knows 'Whats up with Deontay Wilder?'. 'Whats up with Deontay Wilder?' he's talking tough on social media with Dillian Whyte. 'Whats up with Jospeh Parker?' he's boxing, he is defending his world title against the WBO no.1 contender in 2 months.

    Deontay Wilder, can you please fight someone? Didn't you have a big announcement? Just put aside the talking tough and actually do it. Some of you're fans are becoming lost and thats evident.

    I don't even know wtf you're talking about.

    HOW is the WBO different from the WBC? Their rules aren't different. You said the WBO was making Parker fight all these fights and then now you say they aren't mandatories. Ruiz is a guy who struggled with a guy that Wilder knocked cold and left twitching on the canvas in one round, Lyakovich.

    Hughie has fought NO ONE to get his No. 1 ranking.

    Yes, they made him a mandatory. Hughie pulled out. At that point, the WBO had not ordered Parker to fight anyone in Fury's place and had not ruled on what they were going to do. Wilder's camp said, "HEY, forget about that date and let's fight a unification in June or July." And Parker decided to fight his own sparring partner. Right after that fight, the WBO still hadn't ordered anything regarding Hughie and Wilder's camp said, "HEY, let's unfiy these titles this summer." Parker's response was complete crickets.

    Then, about a month ago (give or take), Peter Fury said "Hughie is going to fight in July." At that point, Parker could have gone to the WBO and said, "Screw this, make him wait, I want to unify with Wilder this summer and the winner can fight Fury." Instead, more crickets.

    The WBO and WBC rules BOTH say that unifications trump mandatories and it's in both bylaws that a mandatory contender can be made to wait if a unification is taking place. Parker and his team had the rules on their side and could have made a push to unify. Instead, they let the Furys (who had pulled out on them) dictate terms. "Where do you want us to fight, Mr. Hughie, sir? When? We'll be there."

    Fury is going to pull out and Parker has no one but himself and his team to blame.

    Despite my swift response, I honestly red your whole post and took notes of your points. We can never forget Wilder practically turned down Parkers offer to a unification in December 2016. I repeat - Wilder practically turned down Parkers offer to a unification in December 2016.

    Lets not forget Deontay Wilder could have fought Joseph Parker early this year. In December 2016 Joe tried to get a fight with Wilder. Wilder went quiet for almost a week (similar to the quiet Wilder had when Whyte called him out) and then Wilder announced he will be fighting Wawryzk instead. You seem to forget this.

    Just did some quick research:

    AFTER Wilder had signed to defend against Wawrzyk, Parker's promoter said he was in talks with Wilder's team and had talked to Al Haymon about a unification fight this summer.

    At the time, Parker had no mandatory. He was expected to fight David Haye if he beat Bellew. Which didn't happen.

    He said he had read the WBO rules and unification trumps mandatory. He said the Wilder fight WILL HAPPEN but it's a matter of when.

    Then when he had the chance. Parker chose to fight his own sparring partner and THEN, with the situation in limbo for more than a month, not a peep nor a sound until suddenly he's agreeing to go to the UK to fight Hughie, the guy who dicked him.

    He had ample time when the status of Hughie as a mandatory was unknown to say, "Screw this, let's make the unification." He didn't.

    The end.

    Lol I thought you knew boxing. If you did you'd know about this well documented attempt from Team Parker to unify through Wilder. Ok, I'll provide the proof.

    Social media call out? No thats what Deontay Wilder does lol. Are you sure you know the boxing scene? because your questions suggest, you have no idea of whats going on. Wilder calls out several fighters via social media but has yet to fight any of them or isn't looking at all like he would fight them. Parker and Joshua when they talk on social media, its regarding a fight that is very likely to happen.

    Joe chasing Wilder. Please take a note of the date 12/12/2016

    Wilder chooses Wawryzk instead.
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...awrzyk-fight-date-announced-comments-reaction

    Wawryzk pulls out and Parker is still not selected.

    If I find the article where it states DiBella wasn't answering Team Parkers call for about a week after Parker made it known to the media that he wanted to unify, then I'll post that too.

    LOL that was quick. I provided the proof and you couldn't even wait for my efforts to provide you with the proof you wanted to see? thats pretty sad on your part lol. Anyway I provided all the proof. Obviously you haven't provided anything other than your view and I respect that. Fact is though, Wilder could have agreed to fight Parker in December. Wilder chose Wawryzk instead. Thats the truth.

    I hope you find out "Whats up with Deontay Wilder?" cos he's leaving you guys lost and clutching at straws over his refusal to fight Dillian Whyte. We know whats up with Joseph Parker, he's fighting very soon. No one knows whats Wilder up to. He says silence is golden and yet he talks the most of the three champions. He chooses to fight the lowest ranked opponents of the three champions. He calls out a lot of fighters and says he wants to fight anyone and so far he's only had one fight this year.

    "I'll take on ALL comers" - Deontay Wilder.
    "I won't fight Dillian Whyte..." - Deontay Wilder.
    I like Deontay Wilder. I stick up for Deontay Wilder on here many a times but I don't get fantastical like an immature dreamer and negate whats going on with him. Whats up with Deontay Wilder? someone tell me.

    Parker fought Ruiz in dec 2016 and said he looked to fight Wilder in 2017. Wilder fought in feb 2017. After that the door was open to make the fight but Parkers people chose to fight Fury because they said he was the mandatory. Ok, so when Hugie bailed Wilder wanted the fight but wanted about eight weeks to get ready. However Parker's people felt that they needed a fight then because Parker had trained for Fury and needed to fight so they chose Razvan. Now Fury claims he is ready and that fight is back on. I don't think that either fighter is ducking the other, it's just the timing hasn't lined up. Maybe after the Fury fight they can get it on, because Hearn is not gonna sanction the Joshua fight until he gets a couple more big money fights from Joshua. What Wilder does in the meantime is up to Wilder.
