    I think Parker is better fighter than Wilder...........he has fought the better competition. Wilder is a fraud.................

    He just doesn't THINK he's earned a title shot. Whether you like it or not Whyte is the number 1 contender.

    I think the reason Parker doesn't get offered 4mil to fight Whyte is that the fight can't generate that type of money.

    Well dude it's the division that lacks quality and can't test him. Basicly Joshua has 2 main fights that he has to make in the future - with Wilder and with Parker. That's it. I doubt it Hearn will let him go against Povetkin , he is a stylistic nightmare for Joshua and is pretty durable. So two good fights and that's it. It will take a lot of time for people like Hrgovic, Yoka, Dubois, etc. to get developed as professionals.

    Looking like you're trying to play tag doesn't make you a 'pure' boxer.

    *Has to do more than everything, some even claimed he had to move to LHW to get credit.
    *Gets **** on for everything and anything in the negotinations. Probably the only dominant champion to give his mandatory %43 split to get the fight made(a mandatory that a certain Jr shamelessly ducked), agrees to travel for a certain challenger(a challenger that later on, punked out of the fight), yet people still claim he didn't want the fights.
    *Loses every fantasy match up to past greats. Joshua even before the Wlad fight was held in a higher esteem and got more votes in fantasy match ups.

    I am with the thread starter on this, I made a similar thread a week or so ago. Parker has been looking to build his profile in the UK... and the Fury fight was never going to do that.

    If he fought and beat Dillian Whyte which for me he would be a favorite to do so, he would well and truly declare himself in the UK... Whyte and Hearn would be able to hype the fight into a decent PPV.

    Taking this route in my opinion would also steal a march on any wilder/joshua fight aswell because if parker beats whyte from a promotional point of you it sets up a natural fight in the UK with Joshua.

    Whyte is more than beatable for Parker and if i was him or Kevin barry i would be pushing for that fight to be set up. He is also highly rated in the WBO

    I think the only reason why is hearn wants parker for Bellew if he beats haye again.

    and its not about promoting Whyte as the boogeyman of the division that no one wants to fight... let's be honest he is no louis Ortiz. But he is well placed and has a good payday attached to him so i am surprised no one is snapping up the fight.

    Why this didnt occur to me i dont know, i think thats a great idea, If Joshua cant sort a deal with Parker for March, im sure Parker would happily accept $4,000,000 to defend against Whyte in the UK. Unlike Wilder who thinks hes the biggest superstar the worlds seen since Mike Tyson when in reality he may aswell of just knocked Martin Rogan out 39 times and it would be more impressive.

    Indeed.
    Hughie is "Shades of Ali".
    Whyte is "Shades of Chisora" on a good day.

    Hearn and AJ if they had a choice who to give the big bucks to in my humble opinion give it to Parker.At least he dosent chat **** like Beyonce,and he actually came to the UK and Risked losing the belt so he deserves a cheque for all that work,and like AJ he dosent come across as the type to throw a hissy fit on twitter.He will keep Negotiations behind closed doors how AJ like it.
