I used to say the same things during the hey day of Don King. And now he is old and past it, I kinda miss those days. Higgie is a character alright, and boxing is a lot more fun with guys like them. I get sick of all the serious "humble" PR manufactured crap. Fly off the handle nutters like Higgie are a breath of fresh air. I will enjoy the ride until he kills a hooker in his hotel room and OD on coke afterwards

I hate PR sh*t aswell

Higgins is comical I will say that, he does make me laugh, just find him very amateurish & cringey at times

Earning his dough though isn't he so fairplay to him

I would expect Joshua to win but I really like Parker whenever I have seen him interviewed etc
The weird little presser was bizarre though

That presser was 'masterminded' by Higgie, it was a little dig at Joshua to try and get him to sign up. Parker's team are doing all they can to not only get the fight, but to promote it and Joseph.
Parker is a very genuine guy, but not what you would call self promoting like Wilder, so he needs a loose cannon like Higgie to get his name out there. Joe just likes to fight, even though he is not really top 5 material, at least he is not shying away from it.

Parker pretty poor so A J should demolish him if he himself is the great everyone thinks he is.

Fair point. Parker's team have been trying to show Joshua's vulnerability, and I do somewhat agree with them. The only problem is, I don't think Parker has the power and skill set to take advantage of it.
I do think Wilder does, and that is the fight I want to see.

Joshua will most likely win in a way similar to Takam fight, but maybe even with an actual KO.

35% seems pretty damn generous to parker.

Joshua beats him, then shows his missus what Amir's wife was getting.

Last 6 fights -

Joshua - Takam, Klitschko, Molina, Breazeale, Martin, Whyte
Parker - Fury, Cojanu, Ruiz jr, Dimitrenko, Haumono, Takam

Does Kevin Barry have a point?

Lucas Browne is hinting today that himself vs. Dillian Whyte is about to be announced.
That should mean that Joshua vs. Parker is due to be announced also...

Parker will be alright for a time, then he will start getting slapped all about the place

That doesn't necessarily mean for sure they'd all beat him...if he's as chinny as sparring reports claim I'm sure we'll find out one of these days, but for now I haven't seen anything that leads me to think Parker would be a serious threat.

Not too sure what you are on about here kid. ?
Jeepers. Well done getting to be a mod on this site. But I THINK I agree with you if you are saying A J will be too much for parker

Kevin Barry is the bloke who Evander Holyfield was slung out against in the 1984 Olympics. He's done well for himself.
