Parker v ??
-
I have tried to look at this from an angle that would sell fights and these isn't one.
What sells a fight is exuding confidence, arrogance, menace, flamboyance and/or all of the above.
Misleading so called evidence , cringe factor, amateur antics and immaturity just gets you forgotten about.

He’s not trying to sell a fight, he’s trying to make Joshua so angry he demands to fight Parker.
Judging by Joshua’s comments today, it seems to be working

Reading between the lines , this fight is going to happen ,
Hearn is saying its almost done ,
Win lose or draw , Joe will be earning a few million , so good on him for that , regardless of what happens I guess
-
Hope this fight sparks Parker into life. He has been getting slower and duller to watch. Reckon there seems to be a sweet spot pretty early on with Barry's training style. He seems to get fighters to a pretty decent condition, then sap that right out of them. Could it be he only gets them fit to better show their natural game!!? or is that being a bit rough? Hmmm

Still can't see this fight happening for a while tbh. I'm still expecting Lucas Browne to be next for Parker.

Parker would be silly to take on anyone other than a prize fight or an easy beat. A slip up now would result in losing everything and going back to the pack as an unwanted opponent.
-
@crucial I would consider Browne as an easy beat for Parker. He's slow with little movement and has a lack of skill to trouble Parker. The only thing Browne has going for him is power and heart.
If this fight were to happen I would back Parker either by late KO or a wide UD.

A fairly tame tweet from Parker has really got to Joshua, who is now starting to come across as precious.

@raznomore trying to talk smack doesnt seem natural to JP
-
@taniwharugby I think if he's left to come up with this shit himself it's better than what ever cringe worthy nonsense Higgins or Barry spew up.

I think Hearn actually holds most of the cards to be honest despite all the noise coming out of the Duco camp ,
Titles aside , when it comes to money Joshua can earn big bucks no matter who he fights , Joe is just another one in line , on neutral boxing sites there is far more interest in a Joshua Wilder match up than a Parker one , particularly from British fans ,
Parker has one ticket to a big pay day ATM and that is against Joshua , even at 30 % he would be earning a lot more than he can anywhere else , by a long way , and Hearn knows it

But Wilder wants a 50-50 split so that fight is less likely to happen. He is going to fight Ortiz.
