    He's a very limited fighter but IMO he's great for boxing. He will fight anyone anywhere and has taken tough fight after tough fight and done reasonably well.

    I don't like his personality, I don't like his style of fighting but I'm a fan because he's badass and he'll fight anyone. If every fighter was as gamey as Derek Chisora the sport would be untouchable.
     
  2. He's from a rich family, he don't fight for money or reputation, just for fun.

    He has to take tough fights because he has no bargaining chips.

    Exactly who has he beat? He has lost all his big fights. He is a journeyman.

    chisora did not dominate ****. He out worked guy with injury. Helenius landed the biggest and most meaningfull punches in that fight. But anyway,chisora is good for the sport.

    He certainly handed it to Vitali at the weigh in.

    Very good for boxing but still not the sharpest tool in the draw when it comes to ring IQ

    Chisora is a fantastic character and very under-rated boxer too.

    He clearly beat Helenius around 8rds to 4.
    He was still a raw prospect when he fought Klitschko and i personally had the fight 8rds to 4.
    Fought Fury in the worst shape of his career which is his own fault but i think an inshape Chisora beats Fury 9 times out of 10.
    Fought the wrong Gameplan against Haye, should have held back a couple more rounds before he did and it could have turned out to be a different fight.

    He's still under 30 years old and has a whole load of experience and seems to be mentally focused now too and coming in shape so he's certainly a Top 10 Heavyweight.
