I was thinking more of Wilder with the better boxer comment. However, I don't think Parker can beat Joshua. Wilder if he comes out swinging is more dangerous.

I'm hoping Parker can score himself a win, but I honestly don't see it happening

I don't think Parker can beat Joshua, either. I just think Parker loses out on physicality, not on skill or fight IQ. Wilder is indeed very dangerous, and I cannot fucking wait to see him fight Joshua.
Who do you think won GGG vs. Canelo? Or did you agree with the "draw"?

Nor I, unfortunately.

It says a lot about the current state of the heavyweight division that someone as unskilled as Wilder can have a 10-year reign.

Holy shit! Biggest contract in sports history.
Canelo Alvarez signs 5-year, 11-fight deal worth minimum $365 million with DAZN
Fury-Wilder was a decent fight, but it had no business being in a title fight. Both are totally unskilled fighters.
The heavyweight division is in a sad state right now.

If you missed HBO Boxing's last broadcast, here's the send-off. I like that the first actual punches you see thrown are from Gatti-Ward.

LOL.
What world does Broner live in? Manny dominated that fight.
Then he got beat by Jim Gray in the post-fight interview.

My whole bar was chanting for Manny during that BS.

Thurman's not a great champion. Danny Garcia was his best win. He's really benefited from rising to champ during a lull in the great tradition of spectacular Mexican welterweights.
I expect Manny to win pretty handily.

The heavyweight division is so fucking bad right now that Fury-Wilder II is by far the most exciting match-up in the division.
Neither one of them has any business being champ, much less being undefeated. Anthony Joshua is a bum too.
It would be so nice to have some exciting new face in this crap division.
