    I'd make Chisora and Ruiz slight favourites over Charr. He's not terrible though.

    Before facing Vitali, Charr had two fights which weren't against journeymen.. Where is there an impressive win on his record?

    Compare that to Unified CW and former HW champ, makes it a easy nights work for Haye.

    He's a low level heavyweight who did sorta ok (like landing a couple of ok shots) against an ancient Vitali before getting stopped. Chisora did 10x better than Charr and genuinely troubled Vitali especially in the last few rounds when Vitali didn't want to be there at all. Charr has not beaten any real opposition and was cherrypicked for an easy defence, he's not a terrible fighter but he's done nothing to warrant some of the praise he gets on here.

    He's rated about right, ie not at all relevant until he does something impressive. Get off his dick.

    Chisora is better than Charr

    Let's not rewrite history shall we? Charr was turning the tide when he was stopped on a CUT Vs Vitali. Had he not been cut and had he not been stopped prematurely then perhaps the outcome would have been very different...

    Charr really got in to Vitali. Getting some good shots in. This stoppage was bull**** without even Charrs corner could do anything about the cut!
    The fight would have been very interesting without this bull**** stoppage.

    Hahahaha! Brilliant!

    Charr landed a few ok shots that didn't have much on them and he's "turning the tide"? He never hurt Vitali and was getting bossed from the opening bell, the stoppage was a bit early but the outcome was never in doubt, Vitali hurt him several times.

    Just because Charr was game doesn't mean he was winning, he was getting hurt and beaten to the punch consistently. Gotta give him credit for trying to bring the fight to Vitali but if it had gone on he would have been floored (again) and stopped. He's just not good enough.

    Looks like you're the one who's rewriting history there, go watch the fight again without your obvious bias.
