  1. Yes the 70s is overrated. Chisora walks through the whole era

    This reminds me a lot of something my mother once said to me. "You got splinters in the windmills of yer mind, Eunice." and also something my daddy said to me many times. "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

    I think Del beats Lyle and Shavers from your list and he and Norton would be a reqlly entertaining scrap. Is Kenny a better boxer? Hell yes. But styles make fights and I'm not sure Kenny is physical enough to keep Chisora off him over 12....whilst Derek does not have huge power, I think he hits hard enough to scramble Kenny and put him on the boogaloo bus....

    Don't forget, not only is chisora bigger and stronger than Foreman with similar power but he's also a bigger better more durable version of Frazier. He's an amalgamation of fighters that would be considered elite on the distant past but Derek unfortunately arose in a more modern heavyweight era with higher standards

    Derek would have been like 210 / 220 lbs if he was fighting in 70s

    You really are a ****ing idiot. I can’t believe the crap that gets posted on this forum these days.

    In what universe is Chisora stronger or a harder puncher than Foreman? Chisora is a journeyman plodder. Hes stopped nobody of note himself whilst getting ktfo by less than great heavyweights himself.

    Stating obviously false statements as if they’re fact sbout Chisora’s “strength and power” being greater too or equal to a true great like Foreman is such an obvious troll that I don’t even know why I’m lowering myself to this level to address it. You’re probably getting aroused getting this reaction,

    I don’t see him beating Ali, Holmes, Frazier, or Foreman in that era. He may have had a shot against Norton……..MAYBE

    I think joe bugner peppers chisora for 5 or 6 than chisora angers him and bugner knocks him out with a walloping right.

    Foreman knocks him out in 3
    Shavers in 7
    Ali stops him in 11
    Frazier chops him down in 12
