    Does he have one?

    I can't see anythinig on his record that defines him other than "moral victory" losses where he fought hard.

    What do people see in him that makes them think he's a top heavyweight?

    He has the same biggest win as Deontay Wilder.

    Stopping Malik Scott :good

    Being the only person to ever drop Kevin Johnson is noteworthy too.

    I agree with this one.
    The fight vs Helenius was his one of his best fights.
    Also the fight vs Vitali. He lasted longer then anyone ever imagined.

    So his best wins are 2 of his losses.

    Would much rather watch a fighter getting in with the best and giving it a real go than watching a hype job knock out a bunch of Lithuanian taxi drivers and bin men.

    Chisora, when he get's in with the big guns, is always good value and makes the bouts competitive. So despite him not having a winning record at the top level I'd still class him up there.

    He beat Helanius, that is his best win and dropping Kevin Johnson as stated above was a great achievement.

    A fit motivated Chisora is as good as any heavyweight outside Wlad he will hold a world title at some point in his career.

    Seems to be throwing that looping overhand right with more purpose these days, that could be a money shot against Fury.

    Put up as good a performance against Vitali as anyone else in recent memory.

    Decent fringe world operator, but no more than that.

    Fury, Pulev, Stiverne, Arreola and Povetkin off the top of my head.

    I have always wanted to see him fight Perez, that could be brutal

    I am not so sure any of them are better than him to be honest, I know Fury beat him first time around but that was not the best Chisora.

    All those fighters above are nothing special and I would see any fight between them all as 50/50 there is nothing that sets any of them apart.

    Once Wlad goes the titles will be on a merry go round.

    Dereck's a solid, honest, down to earth, and entertaining, boxer. He'll always get work.
