    Chisora.

    We can call it "battle of the braincell - last stand"

    If they don't have big power he can do well against quite a few. He can hang in there a long time but the problem is that he's faced a lot of pretty powerful punchers and so he gets pulled out before he can really exhaust them.
    Maybe he thinks he can bodyshot Zhang. That one is a bad idea. But what if he out-grinded him, it would be hilarious and match Parker's best win.

    Not sure why he keeps getting the big fights is he really that much of a draw. He had moments VS Mak a fringe gate keeper type and lost...that's the best he can hope for moments.
    No idea why don't get him a British title shot that might be winnable, earn some wins and some $$ rather than sticking him in with world class fighters he can't handle.
    Zhang is ancient and slowing down but if he lands his power shots early cant see Dave doing much, its not like he's a stamina monster himself.

    50/50 if Allen lives.

    Said it before, I'd like to see Chisora vs Allen, in a stadium, mainly because of the fan atmosphere. They both have big cult followings despite never being at the top of the division... it could be marketed as a 'North vs. South' match-up, it would be almost football-like. However, I think Chisora wins, he's a clear level above. Would be fun while it lasted though.

    Or the British title fight against Riakporhe, but again, it's not a 50-50 fight, I think Riakporhe wins pretty comfortably.

    If we're talking about more actual competitive fights, I'd like to maybe see the rematch against Frazer Clarke... Clarke was really dirty in the first fight, constant nut shots and had points taken off him, and Allen actually ended up retiring due to injury (unrelated to the nutshots though). So someone like Clarke, TKV, Adeleye, Hughie Fury... all could be competitive matchups. Take your pick.

    I heard riakporhe may not keep the British title

    Allen won’t beat him for it, his best hope is it’s vacated and he gets an opponent that’s lower tier

    I heard his name somewhere

    I would like Allen to get a favorable matchup for the Lonadale strap and if he wins, call it a day

    I think the British title is still a level above Dave Allens capability. I think he should try and grab the English belt, more realistic.

    depends on the matchmaking

    let’s be real, not every Lonsdale belt holder has been a top British guy
