A bit of an odd one, and he's had such a topsy-turvy career blowing hot and cold... just curious when you think he was at his peak? It was a shame he didn't get the nod against Helenius. Takam win was big, too, but I'm genuinely stunted as to when he was at his peak.
Love big Del. I would say that he’s at his peak now, not necessarily physically but mentally. He’s never seemingly been in a better state of mind than what he’s in right now and that makes him a more dangerous fighter than he’s ever been imo.
Was thinking this the other day. He’s looking more dangerous than ever. Imagine he KO’s Parker. He’s right back amongst it. He will be a certified top 10 heavy. He’s 12 now. I think that’s the highest rated he’s ever been.
Great point by twenty about being mentally at his peak. It's impossible for guys to get physically better in their mid-thirties. However, some guys do improve in their mid-thirties due to utilising all their experience. Carl Froch springs to mind. I think Derek now knows he has to prepare properly for fights. He now knows if he lets his hands go venomously, he can hurt anyone. Lastly, he knows this is the final chapter of his career so it's now or never. All of these aspects currently make him a dangerous man and arguably as good as ever, if not better. I'm certainly enjoying 'WAR' Chisora and long may he continue to perform so well.
Just like how Wlad was shot and old. Just like how Wilder underestimated Fury. Straight from the Matchroom and Hearn propaganda book.
We shouldn't get to carried away. He's a character for sure but has got smashed every time he's stepped up. His best win is easily Takam then Spzilka and probably Danny Williams for the British. Sure he had a few decisions go against him but these were Euro level guys at world he's been a walking punch bag. He is game though can't take that away from him.
Chisora when he’s fit and motivated is a handful for any of the top 5-10 and could arguably beat any of them. His career isn’t done yet.
I don’t like saying it but he is as clear a case of roiding as I’ve ever seen. The dramatic change in intensity in his offence and power late in his career.Extra bulk and strength with all of his ring wear.Its blatant.
He has been smashed every he fought a top 10 guy. Chisora is a Euro level boxer at his best and there is no shame in that.
