Wilder vs Parker, Joshua vs Wallin, Bivol vs Arthur planned for Dec 23rd

I never buy PPVs

But I think I will buy this one

 

I know what you mean bro, if only he had some mongrel like Tua

 

I have seen signs of that mongrel in Parker at times

But he has to be intent, focused and aggressive all night here

I believe he can do it

Redemption night for JP

 

Mark De Mori should serve as a warm-up fight before the fight with Joshua or Wallin, but I doubt that there will be a title fight because Hrgovic will be deprived of the right to that...

 

Joshua never wanted it. Didn’t have the stomach for it.

 

Wilder is not my boy.

 

He doesn't really want to box I feel. He's only in it for the money. He knows he gets flattened by Wilder.

 

Would be the best thing to happen in HW boxing for 2 years.

Hearns undercards are so much better than Warrens

 

"So you admit he became a draw despite three losses."

I understand what you're saying, you want the best to fight the best, who doesn't?

A boxer doesn’t get to become a draw without fighting the best available to them as they are working their way up the ranks.

The point I was trying to make was, once a boxer becomes a draw and starts fighting at the top level, it usually only takes a few losses for their stock to dwindle.

Not everyone is a Manny Pacquiao, a rare breed of fighter that could move up in weight whilst retaining his speed and increasing his power. Once he became a draw, he just kept winning, beating legends one after another.

The reality is, if every top draw tried to be like Manny Pacquiao who’s a top 15 ATG and fight the best consistently, they would fail miserably, just like those top draw UFC fighters a year or two at the top and they're done. Their value would dwindle quickly. No rational, sane individual wants their value to dwindle quickly, if they have any say in it that is.

 

I hope Miller isn’t on the card, he has no place in a boxing ring and should be cut out by all the promoters.

 

6pm UK time, 1pm ET time

 

Yes that is exactly the problem, as you said.

If the top draws fought the best they'd fail.

That is the issue right there.

 

Just saw the backdrop for the press conference which confirms what we have been saying.

Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin
Deontay Wilder vs Joseph Parker
Dmitry Bivol vs Lyndon Arthur
Filip Hrgovic vs Mark De Mori
Daniel Dubois vs Jarrell Miller
Jai Opetaia vs Ellis Zorro
Arslanbek Makhmudov vs Agit Kabayel
Frank Sanchez vs Junior Fa

 

What card in recent times has even come close to this one?

 

Obviously it's missing a marquee main event, but this is at least arguably the best & deepest PPV card of all time. Certainly at HW.
