    What happens when Joshua Loses to Parker?

    I know most of you guys cant tolerate imagining it but Parker is a legit threat to Joshua.

    Joshua is training his ass off because he has no option but to! unlike other fighters he will not run away like Hughie Fury did for 12 rounds against Parker and Parker only walks forward.

    Parker is a scrapper with faster hands and feet and a extremely good chin. Parker will push the pace of the fight like no-other - meaning ........

    If Joshua does not knock him out and Joshua does not run then he will most likely get outpointed heavily.

    There is most likely only two outcomes to this fight. Joshua KO's Parker rd 1 - 3 or Parker wins the title fairly easy.

    So what happens to the hype train when Joshua loses?

    well, I've been saying it goes the distance since the fight was announced.

    In the off chance that Parker beats AJ, and Wilder beats Ortiz then I guess Parker will have to fight Povetkin, and Wilder can finish the year off with Breazeale since Povetkin and Breazeale are now mandatories...which I guess gives us Parker/Povetkin vs Wilder in 2019, with the winner fighting Fury for the Lineal?

    Sounds like a good 24 months in the HW division to me

        Clearly you have your opinion, but most bookies have better odds for a Joshua points win than Parker points win. We will see but I think joshua’s Jab is under-rates. Klistchko was arguably better with it but most others have really struggled.

        Having said that, any loss will firstly result in a rematch. Given Joshua’s popularity I think a one off loss is probably not actually a big deal, infact I think most expect Heavyweights to lose at some point. Losing twice in a row obviously is more significant, and nobody really knows how the public would react. I would suspect he would still sell big numbers, but would he continue to automatically sell out any stadium in Britain within 2 hours ? Quite probably not. Would the likes of wilder refuse to fight him, quite possibly ? (Why risk fighting him when he can protect his record and argue he doesn’t need too).

        So in my opinion it would clearly have an affect but he would probably still be the biggest current draw, and I think it would chalky be bad for heavyweight boxing (and arguably boxing overall) as we would miss out on those really big fights people do want to see - namely:

        Joshua. Vs Fury
        Joshua Vs Wilder for all the belts

          I guess he loses a lot of his casual fanbase, which is a huge part of his fanbase. It's basically mostly people who know very little about boxing and just caught up in things. once he loses, most will disappear, they're fickle.

          They're not like the supporters Hatton had. He had a real affiliation with his fans which is why they were loyal, he was like one of them. Joshua is different, he's just a star that appeal to non boxing fans too because the media and PR around him do a great job. once he loses, the image dies in most peoples eyes.

          Put it this way, when he eventually loses, there will be no more stadium fights v the likes of Takam anymore..

            Anthony Joshua is more likely to win by decision than Joseph Parker as far as I'm concerned. Anthony Joshua is also more likely to KO Parker than vice versa but the most likely outcome in this bout is that it goes the distance and Joshua wins by decision.
