    He took a bad beating yesterday, and several in the past, from Vitali Klitschko, Tyson Fury and others.

    With 12 losses, including his past three fights, is it time for him to retire?

    Yes. For his own good, but I also think he is hurting the division.

    When anyone needs a decent win, they call Chisora, who walks right up to the threshold of of wining, and loses. It is time for him to move out the way and let some young guys pick up some fights.

    Yeah, but he's becoming less and less of a "decent win".
    He'll be getting calls from prospects we'd never heard of soon, and then 'prospects' who don't really have much hope of ever being real contenders. He's on the Danny Williams road to palookville, he won't be getting work in the relevant section of the division much longer at all. He'll be lucky to get one more 'relevant' fight.

    He'll be chinned early by any decent contender if he doesn't.

    I think he should but while he's getting paid he'll carry on.

    He will carry on sadly, he should walk away now, not in six months after one more fight, perish the thought he gets seriously hurt...

    He has made decent money, he should just go and enjoy it whilst he still can.

    Yes, exactly. So it is a good time for him to step out and let others get the fights.

    Depends what level he wants to fight at. But yes he should retire.

    He's had a lot of tough fights over the years and that last fight with Parker was one where he took a lot of hard shots. It would be prudent now to retire. I doubt he can secure the kind of paydays he has been recently and I can't see who else who in the top 10 could offer him that level of payday that hasn't already beaten him or is so far above his level now it would be a huge step down. Unless he's willing to take less money for a risky fight and beat someone dangerous like Hrgovic or Joyce I can't see him being able to get back to the level where he can demand 7 figure paydays again.

    He should. He's on the cusp of becoming one of those punchbags for hire at this stage.

    If he does carry on fighting he needs to drop down a level and take on guys like Babic, Wardley and co. Even those could potentially be damaging fights. At the top level any decent operator beats him and causes him a ton of damage in the process. Yeah, he might still give them a good fight, but he won't be beating them.

    Dereck is a Sadomasochist... I think he gets pleasure from getting his ass beat.
