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

[Toffee]

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

It's a choice.

Parker could probably drop weight and run marathons if he wanted. But I wouldn't be suggesting he do that before fighting Chisora.

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.

He has some top attributes. Really nice handspeed and accuracy for a heavyweight, he has good feet when his weight is a bit lower. Very nice punch selection at times.

He does lack that bit of spite but I thought he had a bit more last night at times. I think Andy Lee did a good job basically coaching him through the fight mentally to stay tough and not allow himself to be complacent/tame.

I don’t think you can ever train someone to completely be spiteful in the ring if that’s not who they are, but you can coach them though the fight well.

i thought it was the best he’s looked for a long time anyway.

I thought Parker looked good, certainly the best I've seen for a while.

That version of Parker is a tough night for any HW.

He beat Derek Chisora better than Usyk did.

If you fight Chisora head on, it is mandatory that you have to dig down deep 'Even against Chisora at this stage of his career'.

Parker does always appear to be fighting within himself, but maybe that is just how it looks.

Good Win for him last night, you can tell it was a good win by how content he was after the fight 'Great win, one of his best'.

Looks like his partnership with Andy Lee and the Fury's is doing him good.

Parker has always been one to frustrate me. The man has some god given attributes that should make him a threat in the HW division. He's big, fast, athletic, durable and he has decent power.

I think part of the issue is his natural temperament and part of the issue was his previous trainer. He never really developed his skills. He'd toss a jab, throw an overhand right and fall into his opponent where there would be an inevitable clash of heads or grappling match as a result.

I was really impressed with the impact that Lee has made on him. You could see the willingness to engage more and some better infighting ability. That uppercut he was using was a gem. I thought Parker looked the best I've seen of him in a long time. Chisora never going to be an easy out for any man.

Parker is pretty good he's best chisora twice now. He's not as mean as Tua, and you think New Zealanders, Samoans are all the same but not the case. But might be better than tua
