If Joseph Parker had a bit more Mongrel in him he'd be no.1 Heavyweight.

Yes, this is why boxers should be referred to as boxers, and not fighters.

 

in the past yes i'd agree . but his last few fights he's shown a much improved attitude. Parker Mark 2.

 

Then define what you mean by ****ing "mongrel".

It's like talking to one of those far left weirdos that redefine perfectly normal words to cause confusion on purpose otherwise (not that you're necessarily doing it on purpose).

 

Mongrel is as mongrel does......

Seriously though I don’t feel a lack of any intestinal fortitude is his problem. I think it was more a lack of maturity and big fight experience to know how to fight to his strengths. For a guy with such a good chin he can fight a bit timid at times but he was often giving away advantages in size and strength. He has fought the biggest punchers of this era.

 

If Fat Andy was actually in shape he’d be a Light Heavyweight not a Heavyweight.

 

Lacks stamina, power mid fight onwards and grit.

Not just lacking mongrel.

AJ has the same problems although retains his power all fight. Chinnier than Joe.

 

He lacks power and he hasnt Usyk's IQ ring to be the number one.

 

Parker isn’t from the ghetto. Kevin Barry said Parker never had street fights so he’s not the junkyard dog. He was out hustled by Whyte , an inferior technical fighter how has the mongrel. However Parker has a granite chin and high boxing IQ. Not a fluent mover as he was in the past. He may not have the mongel but he has enough ingredients to beat anyone on his day or at least go 12 rounds with the elite fighters

 

His gym man has Parker developing his power

Maybe there will be an improvement - like in other parts of his game. Who knows?

 

More Mongol maybe, as he waves from my avatar photo.

 

Parker has had Poodle in him.

 

Parker has gone as far as he could with his talent.

He's not strong enough, not fast enough, not skilled enough and not good enough to be at the top. He's a jack of all trades, but master of none. Great fighters have intangibles. Parker has none.

 

More mongrel would definitely help, but a better dietician and dedicated strength and conditioning coach would also help.

Parker was really electric in the low 230's and arguablly had more power back then.

He isn't the type of guy to lean on blokes so the extra weight just slows him down.
I suppose the argument would be that he could get chinnier but he would be more effective imo.
