Parker v ??

@Bovidae said in Parker v ??:
I read that the Furys will get their way with a medical certificate as Hughie will still be the WBO mandatory and the fight will be in England (more money). So Duco need to ensure it's in London, or as far away from Manchester as possible, and with neutral judges.
JP needs to win on Sat night first.
Tyson doesn't use need a medical cert, he needs a boxing licence.
Box he and his brother have to get past B samples on a drugs test as well. The Hughie Fury fight was squeezed in because they got a ruling that said while the doping charges were not proven he couldn't be stopped.
UKAD have not handed out any bans this year and have been given a long run around by the Sky cycling bunch which has made them look weak. If the B samples come in positive I don't see the 'contaminated meat' excuse holding off a ban.

Parker's advantage is no one knows him and he doesn't trash talk. Joshua has other people to fight. All the other top heavyweights are at least a year older than Parker. He just needs to take his time moving up the ranks. Joshua hadn't fought too many guys of note before Klitschko.
-
@hydro11 taking his time moving up the ranks may be difficult as a title holder .
WBO will want their belt associated with big as possible names and big fights .
Bigger names drawing big ppv numbers can cherry pick who they fight , I've got a feeling the wbo will not allow him that luxury.

It seems like no one really wants to fight Parker though. He certainly won't be fighting Joshua anytime soon because Joshua has lucrative fights against White, Klitschko and Fury. The only big fight I can see Parker getting is Wilder. I think most people would agree that if Parker can't beat Wilder, he won't beat Joshua anyway.
-
@hydro11 wilder makes sense at some stage with the winner walking away with 2 belts . Joshua would prob be interested in that winner for unification purposes .
With Joe , danger fights could depend what mandatory s the wbo throw his way .
So far they have had haye and h . Fury lined up , both fell through .
Be interesting to see what happens .
-
Wilder lets the cat out of the bag , claims the guy Joseph is fighting was his sparring partner in preparation for Fury ?
0.40

Not a surprise. JP said himself last week that Cojanu knows him better than any other boxer except Izu Ugonoh (his former training partner).

Ok , he doesn't look impressive in the limited you tube footage available.
I wouldn't be paying for it , think we get it for free here in aus , so all good .
Canelo v Chavez should be a classic on Sunday . -

Agreed. Good technical boxer but not ready for an athletic heavyweight
-
Went to the afl , and watched it on these cool TV screens that fold out from your seat ,
Looked lacklustre, he won't have too many of the top heavyweights having sleepless nights .

Maybe thats a good thing? Ppl avoided Tua like the plague when he was in his prime..

Rumors are getting louder that Tony Bellew could be his next opponent in England ,
Bellew is the best cruiserweight in the world , who recently came up to heavyweight ( probably looking for the better money fights) and defeated David Haye ,
Probably a good match up for both of them , Bellew is a smaller man with good boxing skills and good ring smarts ,
I probably lean towards Bellew going off his performance against Haye ,
put it this way Joseph will need to show more than his recent fights or i can see him getting outboxed
