I wouldn't say so, no. A lot of Chisora's credibility comes from the fact he will absolutely fight whoever, wherever, whenever. He's back on the horse now, got a very good win under his belt and would totally undermine any world title claims by fighting a man who can't and won't trouble him.ILikeBeer wrote:That doesn't tell the full story though, does it?Karl Jade wrote: Sprott who was knocked out by Audley Harrison over 3 years ago in with Chisora.
Audley knocked him out in the last round, with a somewhat fortuitous punch. And there were many who thought Audley had it lost if he hadn't have knocked him out too.
Obviously, I'm not saying Sprott lays the smack down on Chisora. Chisora should win. But for an opponent at short-ish notice, Sprott has experience and would give Del Boy a decent fight before eventually losing.
Isn't that the sort of opponent Del is looking for at the moment?

Yes, and he's been beaten every time he's stepped up. Mago is an unbeaten destroyer and yes he's not moved up yet and yes, he may win or lose, but at this point we don't know. We know about Chisora already.Horse wrote:Chisora has faced some of the best heavyweights in the world, he has shown that his limitations don't stop him competing at a high level. Abdusalamov hasn't shown that he can do anything against a top fighter yet.keithmoonhangover wrote:He's beaten some decent opposition and is being moved along at the right speed. Yes he's limited, but he's got geniune world class power, which is something Chisora will never have. Chisora's got next to no movement, limited power and only trains we he feels like it. Mago would eat him alive.

Chisora has been beaten up twice: Once by Haye and once by Fury when he was horribly out of condition. You and this rampage against Chisora, man. Give it up.

He lost a close decision to an injured Helenius. and Scott is not a world class fighter.Horse wrote:He beat Helenius and Scott.keithmoonhangover wrote:Yes, and he's been beaten every time he's stepped up.

I agree, Chisora is good. But that's all he is.
Re: Who would you like to see Chisora fight on Sept 21?
He didn't stop Helenius, nor has anybody else. That's all you can say about that fight. Chisora won at least 9 rounds.
Re: Who would you like to see Chisora fight on Sept 21?
Chisora was robbed against Helenius.
Referencing the official verdict as some sort of indicator of Chisora's limits is disingenuous given how poorly it reflected what happened.

Regardless of the result, Helenius was injured. If he was 100% it would have been a different fight.crusader wrote:Chisora was robbed against Helenius.

Re: Who would you like to see Chisora fight on Sept 21?
Maybe, but comments like 'Yes, and he's been beaten every time he's stepped up' don't accurately reflect how well he performed on the occasions.
The bout with Helenius suggests Chisora can get the better of top opponents, which seems to be the opposite of what you're arguing by mentioning only official results.

Re: Who would you like to see Chisora fight on Sept 21?
I'd be happy with either Kevin Johnson or Abdusalamov (sp) as opponents for Chisora in September as long as they have a decent amount of notice (5 weeks+.)
Re: Who would you like to see Chisora fight on Sept 21?
Where does Kevin Johnson's credibility come from? He's a grade A spoiler.
