RE: Joseph Parker - Kiwi - 05-31-2016 I am no fan of Lonergan. Just because I have spoken to him some time back. I am just pointing out the obvious - that he has been in the UK to deliberately make waves and stir up commotion around the name Joseph Parker. You and I might wish he would do it differently. But that is his job and he is there to get attention - good or bad. Yes - I think KB is better at it. Anyway - that's enough from me for the rest of the year. And no Sham, I do not dislike you guys at all. Cheers. RE: Joseph Parker - shamrock - 05-31-2016 Kiwi, I wholeheartedly agree with you about loudmouth DL. Accurate comments they are for sure. Nice to have you on here, thanks for dropping in. Keep posting. Don't worry about die, he is aging early. ..he's got to remember his med's otherwise he becomes irritating lol RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-01-2016 Joseph Parker: I won't avoid anyone in my quest to be world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker says he won't avoid anyone in his quest to get to the top of the boxing world and hopes the new breed of heavyweights can develop rivalries to inject life into the division. Parker has the mandatory rights to fight IBF champion Anthony Joshua. Parker fights Australian veteran Solomon Haumono in Christchurch in July as he looks to keep busy while he waits for Joshua. Parker's handlers Duco Events are also talking up having a crack at Britain's former world champion David Haye, a risky fight that could come on the undercard of a Joshua promotion in London later in the year to introduce the Kiwi star to the lucrative British market. READ MORE: * Haumono's sneaky peek at Parker * Mike Tyson likes Tyson Fury * Parker's true ranking revealed * Parker v Haye in pipeline "I want five fights again this year, stepping up the level of opposition steeply throughout the year. There's no fight I'd avoid if it gets me to the top," Parker told Boxingnewsonline. Parker has already fought twice this year and the 24-year-old made it clear he doesn't want a padded record. His last win over France's Carlos Takam was his toughest as he went 12 rounds to secure the No 1 ranking with the IBF and set up a title shot. "I'm ready and willing to pursue a world title the old-fashioned way, by taking tough and risky fights that are necessary," Parker said. "These days, there's too much record-padding and politics in boxing, which often prevents the fights that the public wants to see from happening. "I hope a new post-Klitschko era in the heavyweight division will see great rivalries play out, like during the Mike Tyson-Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe era. I'd be proud to play a part in a revitalised heavyweight division, where the best fighters face each other." Parker and 26-year-old Joshua have been on a collision course for some time. Parker believes he's ahead fo the London Olympic champion in terms of development and certainly isn't shy of taking the taller and powerful Joshua on. Parker has an unbeaten professional record over 19 fights. He's young enough to have another crack at the world title if he falls short at his first attempt. And speculation of a fight against Haye shows he's brave enough to back up his tough talk. That fight would put his mandatory position on the line. It's another risk and reward venture. The risk would be losing the mandatory rights and any poor performance would dent his image in Britain where the fight scene is having a renaissance. But a win against Haye would give Parker and his handlers huge bargaining power for a crack at Joshua, the 26-year-old who is taking the scene by storm alongside fellow Brit Tyson Fury, the WBA and WBO champion. - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - Nigs - 06-01-2016 Then they sign to fight haumono. Okay. RE: Joseph Parker - shamrock - 06-01-2016 Great aspiration, however any fight after Haumono including Haye or Joshua will happen at the O2 in London and must cpresent a whole new experience for JP bereft of home advantages he's been enjoying in most of his outings. They're all doing the big talk @duco nz. RE: Joseph Parker - shamrock - 06-01-2016 Spot on nigs RE: Joseph Parker - Nigs - 06-01-2016 This is the kind of ish I'm talking about sham. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-01-2016 Well, let's see who he fights after Haumono and give him the benefit of the doubt. He's fighting better competition, even now, than Tua did at the 20 fight mark. Tua fought Dan Murphy when he was 18-0, and didn't fight Ruiz until his 23rd fight. So Parker faced much, much better competition than Tua did at this point in his career. I say this to say that Parker is still developing. To say that he wants to fight 5 times a year is O for awesome. Don't see AJ fighting that much. RE: Joseph Parker - Nigs - 06-01-2016 benefit of the doubt? what level of opponent are you expecting after the haumono fight die? RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 06-01-2016 Firstly, this came out of Joe's mouth, not Lonergan's. So he'll look pretty stupid if it's not better than Haumono. Especially since he said it's a progression. With Lonergan, everyone knows he's a loudmouth, a man on a mission as Kiwi says. I think he'll stay in the top 15 and fight different guys in the 4 alphabets. It'll help his ranking outside the IBF and WBO, where he's ranked at the top. So I'd look at the WBA and WBC's top ranked fighters. For instance, I'd go after #4 ranked Duhaupas for the WBC. He needs to position himself to eventually fight the WBC or WBA champ, as I think AJ is not reachable in the immediate future. He'll try to unify. Fury or Klit would be huge, as would Haye. Battle of Britain. As an alternative, I'd go after Price or Chisora, who are better than Haumono and close to Takam's level, and get on the AJ undercard. As a mandatory challenger, fighters will now travel to NZ for a chance at the mandatory. |
