dont think so, ive always rated delboy but i do think hes stuck in what is a competitive division (that may sound crazy but youve got a lot of contenders around his level trying to get a shot at one of two guys), hes pushed himself to the front of the queue and although hes a massive underdog i think hes got a chance, if not now then hes more than capable of mixing it post-klitschkos and hanging at world level i think
Don't think Vit hits that hard anymore and chisora's tough, don't see it as one sided a beatdown. In terms of a likeable slugger though, yeah I can see what you are getting at. Del's funnier but Danny always comes across as a true gent and has proven heart
I'm a big fan of Del Boy, he still should be undefeated really, still think he would of beat Fury if in shape and the highway robbery in finland, he's hardly plodding about fighting bums which he could do in this division and the great shame will be when he takes on vitali and when it more than likely go to points he will get mugged off again.
Good shout, Delboy seems to be a fighter that is hot and cold...case in point the Fury and Helenius fights. With him being 27, and seemingly only wanting big fights, I his record ending something like 26-8 or there abouts, not many fights and lots of losses but a string of top fighters. S. Sexton twice T. Fury R. Helenius Not bad. I think Vitali is past his best, some of the fights flatter to decieve, he looks good but Adamek was overatted and Solis talented but out of shape. Briggs, Sowonoski were real cherry pick fights. Derek if he turns up like Helenius fight will give Vitali a good fight, i predict Vitali on points.
I would pick all them four fighters Vitali fought to beat Chisora, maybe not so much Briggs and Sowonoski now but at the time they fought Vitali yes.
If Del Boy manages to banjo vitali, Does that rate as a bigger achievement than when Danny beat Tyson?
Cant see Chisora lasting too long in with Vittali,its just too big a step up.He dont punch hard enough to deter Vittali from offloading on him.I like Chisora but he is a good Euro/domestic level fighter not a world beater.He will be stopped and fairly early I think.
Whatever happens you can bet that Del actually tries to win and goes out on his shield unlike Dave:verysad
This is true.Chisora will go in and give it the best shot he can.He is in a no lose position in that everyone expects him to get starched early.He will let punches go and he will try to make Vittali work.
I don't expect Chisora to win, but he is going to do a lot better than people think, and a lot better than some of Vitallys more highly rated opponents. He has the right technical tools to give Vitally problems, and he is not afraid to use them.
