[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Uh oh, I knew Parker/Joshua was too good to be true.

This sounds like Parker will fight someone inferior for the WBO.Then we will have a fragmented title again where none of the top guys fight each other ever.Thanks for that Tyson.

Parker isn't anything amazing though, he is riding a hype train. Joshua would flatten him.

I don't see it. Parker has the ability to cripple Joshua, in many ways I feel Parker is the better all round fighter. I've seen nothing from Joshua to say he'd walk through Fists of Fluff like some are proposing.

The only way Parker gets near a title is by default. Wilder, Fury and Joshua all beat him comfortably.

This is good new's.

I hate all these great matchup's that take year's to finally come around but in this case AJ v Parker is way way too soon to happen, both are still VERY green.

Build the fight and let it simmer, then it's a megafight in a year or 2, atm its just a prospect vs a green champion who's fought no one...

Klitschko, Ruiz, Haye & Hughie are 2,3,4 & 5 in the WBO. It would be one of them for a vacant belt. I been talking about this for a few days already. I think it will all depend on who Klitschko fights. If Klitschko takes the Joshua fight then it's Parker/Ruiz only if Ruiz solves his managerial issues. If he doesn't Haye would be next in line. Klitschko could fight Parker for the vacant WBO belt as well. If Parker fights Joshua for the IBF belt that could leave us Klitschko/Ruiz or Klitschko/Haye 2....

To bad Parker isn't ranked 1 by the WBC. Easy win for him. Nevermind the belt holder for that organization hasn't even fought a top 5 ranked opponent in nearly 2 years as the belt holder. WBO instead
