This could very well be the highlight of his career, defeat or not. Wlad is good, but not invinsible. Some of the comments on here suggest Wlad would beat any HW in history due to his style. If that is the case, then why is he not talked about as an ATG? What have previous HW had, that today's do not?

He would probably lose to those fighters and not make much money.

Very few boxers get talked about as All time greats whilst their still fighting ... Lennox Lewis certainly did not ... yet is today very often talked about as one .... a few more years he will universally be ranked as one.

Two questions generated fro this news.

a/ British title may now be vacant, who will be matched for this.......Sexton v Fury, Sexton v Rogan 3, or do we have a BBBoc Super 6....Sexton, Fury, Sprott, Harrison, Price & Rogan

b/ What happens to the FW Mega show in December or do we have a SBO double bill.

Because the Klitchskos are a level again above that.

This is a bad move by Chisora.

That is just it, there are not top heavyweights. Chambers is not very good (Peter tried more against Wlad the other week), Adamek is popular because of all the Poles in NJ but just had life or death with an ancient Michael Grant.

They are top heavyweights. The division is pretty crappy, but they have done enough to be ranked in the top 10 and arguably the top five. Which guys are without a doubt better than them?

And Crease, both Chambers and Adamek would probably beat Chisora, and he would make less money against them than a Klit...just like Horse said.

The fight is a different one. in that there are'nt many like Del boy in an otherwise dire heavyweight division. None move like Del, most of Wlads recent opponents have been plodding forward, without throwing too much at him. I say fair play to Del. Win, and he and Frank are Geniuses, lose badly, and they'll say Del wasnt ready. Lose with dignity, and they'll come again.

Del has as good a chance as anybody in the world right now.

Chambers and Adamek would 'probably' beat Chosora?

I would put my house on them both beating him with little trouble to be honest. They would probably win every round against him

A loss to a Klitschko wont do him any harm career wise other than the beating itself.

Good luck to him, could be more of Rocky story than Danny Williams.

Yup he's good but we can still see him

Did I really put that haha. I meant invincible.

Chisora has no shot, he punches too wide, he looks an arm puncher and he's resorted to biting out frustration at a very low level of opponent. Wladimir Klitschko getting knocked out can surely never be much of a shock given his history but he looks, once again, safe here.

You just have to swarm him with power shots like Sanders or just fight him at a pace he doesn't like ala Purrity and Brewster, but there's just no one around to do that in todays horrible division.
