Joshua says he is not yet ready for the bigtime, that is Wilder, Fury or Klit., I expect he's taking sound advice or has a wise head on young shoulders.
Nice one Sham. I'm thinking Haye has bigger fish to fry than Parker.
Parker thinks he's ready for the top 3? Confidence is great but has his opposition really helped develop him?
His team has done well to maneuver him safely to where he's at but I think he should sit back a bit and wait for things to clear up a bit (Fury/ Wlad II, Wilder/ Povetkin, Chagaev/ Brown/ Oquendo if he still has a contracted shot) while getting experience against some actual gatekeeper types like Arreola, Kassi, Thompson or challenge himself against the likes of Mansour or Cunningham.
A loss could set him back but not learning and developing against better competition could see him in the same light as Wilder and Martin are seen: Vulnerable.
