Trying to buy a unification fight with Joshua: Joseph Parker offers gifts and money in latest attempt to secure Anthony Joshua bout
Joshua is the man at heavy. Why wouldn't Parker want to fight him? Wish more contenders were like this.
Sorry. Just seems silly to ridicule a top ranked fighter for trying to get a shot at the champion. What else is he fucking there for?
Name me all the fighters in any weight of any era who offer money & fucking gifts to try and get attention in order to maybe get to the table. Parker might as well just say "AJ - I'll suck your dick if you give me a shot" Pathetic display but not surprising given today's piss-poor calibre of boxers - in character & ability.
Challengers give concessions all the time. Maybe not in this manner, but they often settle for small pieces of the pie and let the champion choose things like venue and ring size. To me, Parker's offering of gifts, etc. puts pressure on Joshua to fight him by drawing attention to his challenge. Just do not see eye to eye with you on this one. I see a challenger confident in his ability to win.
Joshua Parker got a touch of Jake the Muss about him. considering Tua's punch resistance too, a hastily drawn ethno-pugilistic theory: Maoris have good chins.
Tua ended his career being dropped by and drawing with a totally shot Monte Barrett, and Chris Byrd beat up and stopped Jimmy Thunder.
I was about to have a racist outburst myself, but Joshua oughta just snatch that cod piece quick, maybe put a couple of percentage points up on the split with Gene Wilder obvs.
Tua and Parker are samoans, not a maori. And yes, no matter what Irish pc ass say, they tend to have real good chins
