    Parker is a great fighter, but he has zero dog in him

    I mean this man should have finished terribly hurt Whyte, he should have finished Chisora , but he obviously lacks killer instinct badly. His skills are great for the heavyweight, but his determination to stop the opponent is just not there. That is why he will lose again when he faces somebody better than Chisora.

    does Parker even do road work? If he had a bit more stamina, he could've finished Chisora easily.

      By great, you mean dead average?

        You would be surprised at how few boxers do it anymore. It used to be part and parcel of boxing. The people I see, many don't

        Many have turned away from the oldschool ways and have embraced the sports science approach, which I believe leads to a insufficient gas tank. Look at the top tier guys like AJ and Conor McGregor who both have the money and the best equipment and sports science guys money can buy. Doesn't work

        HIIT is the new road work.

          Most of the differences are genetic once you get to the top level. They’re all training hard. AJ runs.

          He’s just a narrow boned skinny guy wearing heavy muscle suit.

            He’s pretty boring. Watched the fight because I had nothing going on mid day today, but agreed, nothing fun to watch and doesn’t exchange that way. Keeps it safe.

            Fight could have ended before the 12th

                I think he showed plenty of dog in there, he stood toe to toe exchanging with Chisora for 12 rounds.

                Tha magnificent Usyk was running away like a drowned rat and didn't want NO PART of Chisora until he gassed out because Chisora was in terrible shape in that fight, and even then Usyk still ran plenty.

                Great balls and heart on display from both men in there, that was a manly fight.

                  But is it smart to fight like that?

                  Parker probably lost the first fight with Chisora. In the second one he had terribly hurt Chisora in front of him at least 3 times, and he was unable to just close the show. Even more, he always gave Chisora the time to recover and become dangerous again..

                  Chisora was the second fight in division for Usyk, Usyk just didn`t take unnecessary risk, he just did what he came to, I mean he won the fight.

                  If Usyk -Parker ever happens, Usyk wins I believe, he is just smarter fighter, who understands when to take a risk. he showed that in Joshua fight.

                    Yes, not too much above that.
