Anthony Joshua rules out post-fight handshake for Joseph Parker

[KiwiRider]

Has Parker ever been dropped by any opponent?

Parker can go 12 rounds , can Joshua?

If Joshua gasses and Parker comes out firing can Joshua’s chin handle it? Probably not.

Parker has been buzzed a couple of times, but not dropped. It says a lot about his chin, given how easy he is to hit
Parker can go 12, but not with Joshua

A bit of panto for the casuals.

“Wow dave aj said he’s not gunna shake this fellas hand he must really hate him”.

[Nightmare Roy]

When Parker wins he should rub his balls on AJ's face.

He's got fcuking no chance of winning, plodder with average power

It's got to be the tamest beef since that documentary about a guy who let a cow live in his house.

But all someone may need to beat AJ is durability and the ability to pose a couple questions until he tires, then see what is really in the tank

[gilgamesh]

I can honestly say I couldn't care less if they shake each other's hands at the end of the fight or not.

Just more disgusting behaviour. I honestly don't know how Camp Eddie keeps the tabloids from him. He's upsetting kids and all sorts now.

I just hope Parker’s promoter comes into the press conference coked up again

To be fair they packed the MEN out off the back of that!

[ElJefe]

What has Parker said? Is this going to be like a Froch-Groves 1 situation when the big name thinks he's above criticism so gets arsey and accuses the other guy of being disrespectful when they point out some obvious flaws?

And the 19,000 + boxing fans were treated to a defensive masterclass by shades of ali.

The biggest robbery i’ve ever seen.

We all know its pre fight rubbish , get people talking ect ect . But AJreally does seem to have a thing about being respected , .

I get the impresion , when he's talking about respect, he does'nt mean it , what he really means is fear , Boxers already RESPECT each other , never met , fought , or sparred , anyone i did'nt respect just for getting in there , Parker will certainly respect AJ , for what he's done and acheived , how could you not .

So respect , i'm sure Parker has plenty for AJ ,, Fear , Parker seems to have none for AJ , and that could be the key to this fight , personaly i'm not ruling Parker out , and thats observation is mainly based on having , a lot of Islander freinds , Tongans , Samoans , Maoris , , a good punch on is in there nature, and they usually don't fear anyone , Parker will take it to him , and go for the KO its in his genes , And we all know AJ can be hurt , no one has pushed AJ hard yet and made him work hard , he just gasses of his own accord .

Which brings another point , the weight , AJ keeps bulking up getting heavier , Mckracken knows his job , i just cannot see Mckracken saying to AJ , listen son i want you to put on 20-30 pounds , go lift some weights , were gonna get you that big you'll slow down , but don't worry you wil scare them more ..

What i can see is a boxer who's not listening , he will need to listen shortly, because even if he proves to big and bowls Parker over , he won't do the same to Wilder or Fury

It seems like very few are giving Parker a chance.

That's not smart...this is going to be a cracker!

best case for parker is that ppl are applauding his heart after

he doesnt deserve much of a chance when you actually look at him fight. i think alot of ppl rate him too highly, probably because of that belt. he could easily be 21-2-1 overall and 1-2 in his last 3. his big line to aj was that hes granite chinned and never been down, yet even a brazilian journeyman hurt him.

also i think hes more like 6'2.5 than the listed 6'4. aj is a once every 15 yrs fighter and will beat him around.

[deadpan]

'Respect'. I wonder how many of those illustrious sportsmen he quotes are drug cheats?

Parker will be AJ's second best opponent. He's been hurt by his best and third best opponent before the competition drops way off. I don't think Parker should be discounted is all I'm saying; this is far from a gimme.

"he's not a respectable type of person"

Parker is calling Joshua “the king of steroids” and went on to suggest Klitschko may have used them and Joshua was in that camp.

Parker would know since he also trained with Klitschko.

I always wondered how Klitchko got so muscular at 41 without any “help” and Joshua is unnatural so I believe he’s cheating but has found a way to beat the test like Mike Tyson admitted to.

Would certainly answer a lot of past questions . would'nt it , the questions that don't seem to get asked anymore , bulking up gassing out , could be answerd differently depending on who you speak to , excess weights , roid use ,, end result is the same , bigger , bulkier , slower, and stamina issues

Mmmm I'd say Fury has said and done much worse, wouldn't you?

[Supremo]

How the fornicate can you have 2 pages of discussion about whether someone should shake someone else’s hand ffs? Who gives a fornicate?

[jamamb]

the number of posts actually debating that is very few.
