Parker v ??
-
@kiwiinmelb I'd back Fury against anyone if he were at full fitness. His movement, reach, ability to fight orthadox and southpaw effectively and control of distance would give every current heavyweight nightmares. His chin is a tad dodgy but he has the ability to make opponents miss all night.

Is he ever gonna get to that stage again though as opposed to being a 150kg pisshead?

He only needs to put in one effort burst and promoters will be queuing up especially if AJ ends up with all the belts. One massive fight to prove his claim then retire.

This is so much bigger than I thought it would be. The drama is slowly unfolding but Im not sure Parker is part of the main cast. Tyson is fully using Parker. I hope he knows that.
Do you think it's as covert as that? Fury could be doing this to get under Joshua's skin, and it appears to be working. Remember that Haye is also helping Parker so it seems to be Team Hearn vs the rest in the UK.

AJ looks like he was expecting some trash talk he could use to appear the bigger man and local hero. He looks a bit bewildered and agitated that he is being made to look the typical dumb boxer and JP is looking like the calm, humble and determined one. Basically JP has pulled the rug from under AJ in the lead up.
Whether that fits into a cunning boxing plan we will see. Maybe JPs camp think an agitated AJ will use more energy both mentally and physically.
The biggest doubt they have sowed is that AJ has been dining out on getting back into the fight against Klitscho. He must know deep down that he was let off the hook with Vlad not going for the kill. JP is telling him that the same mistake won't happen again. -

I don't think it's a simple case of setting up Parker but it's part of it. Could be 2 British boxers building up the Kiwi upstart so their Champion mate can take his belt after the young fullas false bravado has led him astray. Haye wants one last title run too.

@kiwiinmelb it's the complete lack of discipline that I see. letting himself go so badly and already lacking the athletic physique. His voice has gone and he looked like a 50yo man for about 2 years.

Yeah Ricky Hatton used to do the same , let himself go completely in between fights ,
seems so unprofessional , and just bloody hard work to shed the weight again , makes no sense ,
But he isnt looking too bad now , will be interesting to see how he goes .

Hatton looks like absolute hammered shit these days but again, was ripped as fuck for fights.
Fury must have a decent metabolism cos he was looking like Jabba the Hutt when he did a haka with JP not too long ago.

I ran into Ricky Hatton in a bar in thailand a few months back , he was sitting there getting shit faced by himself , totally out of shape and looking nothing like an ex world champ ,
Pandoras Bar , Soi 7 Pattaya to be exact ,
Had a couple of beers with him , he had no idea who I was , but seemed to enjoy having a chat , talking absolute shit, funny bastard he was
