I would, because Whyte would lay him out and Bellew wouldn't wake up until after Christmas dinner had been served. I'd pay to watch that.

True, 20 quid is a small price to pay for that I suppose

[digger barnes 87]

Cant see it myself, but Hearn saying both camps working on a new date for 2018.

  Hell yea

What else is Bellew going to do? All the CW belts are held by monsters now and he's not a real HW. He had a chance to beat the ghost of David Haye and then make some money as a fluffer for AJ, now there's nowhere to go so he might as well wait.

  Not on about Bellew , I am on about Haye, his body is clearly gone to bits and good chance it will breakdown in the build up to the fight next year.  And as for Bellew he has been saying for ages he would take the Parker fight, would not be a surprise to me if Hearn has a go at making that next year, as a way to get Parker some attention in the uk, before a possible AJ fight in the future.

Yeah I think he should just pack it in. Same problem for him though, who else is going to take a fight with him? If he does fight again it's Bellew or nothing.

[Rysoph76]

Fury calling out Bellew now!

Haha fucking hell I'll give you Ł20 right now for that!

  Yea defo for Haye, its Bellew or nothing for him in terms of making big money.   I think Bellew has some difficult problems now, he could wait for Haye, but with his injury record and soon to be 38 its a big gamble. 

[digger barnes 87]

Fury calling out Bellew now!

That would be terrible.



I would have to want Fury to win a fight

[digger barnes 87]

Was just a matter of time, but Whyte has called out Bellew again.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Frampton was miles off the pace the other night, he was 1/100 too, ludicrous odds.

[Alf]

Not surprising really. I never saw grounds for a rematch but time will tell whether this happens at all now.

[Lusty]

Was just a matter of time, but Whyte has called out Bellew again.

He's going to be a popular lad in the next few days. Easy night's work for any legit HW and you get paid PPV money.

[digger barnes 87]

March 24th or May 5th now for this fight now according to Haye.

[Fordy]

Bellew would be wise to just wait for Haye rematch and chill out.

[gazzalfc]

Well for a guy that said he wouldn't even need to train to fight Bellew last time round its a bit of a cop out to moan over 2 weeks away from training

This is why I could never go to see a 'big' fight live. Why bother? Especially those that paid over the odds from tout sites.

After the stupid love-in after the 1st fight it was always going to be manufactured for tv.

Haye can focus on his promotion work and Bellew doesn't need to fight again. Just take the money and look after his kids.

[Crosby Nick]

Sorry (not sorry) for the interruption. A lot of you may have heard the terrible news about Sir Harvest Fields. There’s a justgiving page set up to try and help raise money to cover his funeral costs. If you haven’t already done so, and would like to contribute details are in here:

Eubank jnr v Groves on February 17th  in Manchester,   can't wait for this one.   

[cornishscouser92]

Haye v Parker....

[puroresu_kid]

Team Parker getting very desperate now.  What a sham of a press conference they staged.

David Higgins is a tool.

[QR350]

He knows he's shit and can't hang with the big guns so he's looking to cash out. Reminds me of Khan who chased that Mayweather fight for years.

[Fordy]

Haye v Parker....

Wouldn't shock me if this happened.

[Fordy]

Yeah Parker is getting to Khan level of shameful now.

[digger barnes 87]

All this talk about wanting the Joshua fight, and he will end up facing Lucas Browne next.

[cornishscouser92]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

[digger barnes 87]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

He has a good chin,  terrible def skills.  Crazy that he is a would champ.

[Blinis]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

Nope.

[Lusty]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

No. He's badly out of his depth.

[Fiasco]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

He's not as bad as people are making out. Nothing special though.

[QR350]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

As someone on here said before, if he was fighting 15 years ago he'd be nothing more than a journeyman with loads of losses on his record. That he's a champion shows how shit this division is.

[Thats So Dimitar]

Anyone on here rate Parker?

His own team don't rate him lol. That's why they are trying so badly to get a fight with AJ and eke out every last drop they can because they know he will more than likely lose his belt and never be able to draw a fight like this again.

[digger barnes 87]

It's funny that Paker team are getting confidence from Joshua being dropped in sparring , heveyweight dropped in sparring shock lol.  What a cringing video that was by Parker team.

[DanA]

I think people romanticise past eras. It wasn't all Tyson and Holyfield, I remember Tyson fought some shit opponents, and utterly destroyed them but there were only a handful of greats IMO 15 years ago. Even if it was a golden generation.

[Samie]

The 90's outside of the 60/70's era was the best Heavyweight era. So people aren't looking through it with fondness. It's just a fact.

You can't really judge the division based on Parker's CV because he hasn't fought anywhere near the best names in it.

That said, you wouldn't fancy Parker in a division that had Lennox, Holyfield, Tyson and Bowe in it!

  It's true that Tyson did beat a few duds, but you just have to look at the likes of Donovan Ruddock who he beat twice , if Ruddock was around now he would be a world star

Chapter 1... Stage a shambles of a press conference

Have they now changed their public stance from 50/50 to 60/40 to 65/35? What a joke, Eddie just needs to hold out to Christmas & they'll be saying they'll take 80/20.

They must know it's only a matter of time until someone takes Parker out & they are clearly looking for that AJ cash out & doing a bad job of it.
