    If Chisora is serious about rejuvenating his career (and let's face it, as a heavyweight he is not that old, even though it seems like he has been around forever), the he goes a different route, I suggest David Price, Gary Cornish, basically try and rebuild some kind of reputation by beating decent (slightly chinny) domestic level fighters. This is purely about a fast payday, that's the only reason he was on the bill. He gets knocked out badly and fast by Joshua, that is a fact, and I for one don't want to see that.

    Chisora would just be in there for a pay day.

    I would rather see AJ in with someone trying to win

    There's more money to be earnt than one last payday v Joshua

    Joshua has shown he is vulnerable - Chisora could elevate himself to even more big money status if he could beat Joshua

    Will be a long time to have to live on one last payday by getting knocked out easily in a Joshua PPV

    He should be up for it to find a way to win v Joshua

    Same as Whyte was

    Whyte will do well now due to his performance v Joshua - same opportunity exists for any of our heavyweights to cash in now

    None of them should just line up to be knocked out - too big an opportunity to miss

    Doesn't matter who Joshua fights next it will be PPV

    Simple as that

    Not remotely interested in Chisora. Simple as that.

    I think anybody who reckons Chisora goes longer than 3 (probably within first 3 minutes) has been suckered in by the Hearn hype train.

    If Chisora comes in to take a payday then it's Chisoras long term loss

    He will end up skint and be no more big money paydays for him to do next

    If he does fight Joshua then Chisora has to treat it like a world title shot because money wise that's what a win would be worth to him in current situation

    Good step up for AJ, defo not a step down. Chisora has faced world class opponents, much higher calliber than Whtye.

    April because of Frampton Quiqq in feb.

    I'm not sure what the issue is with chisora, he's more proven than whyte and has been 12 rounds with top level opponents, whilst he hasn't done much recently, it wasn't long ago he was in an eliminator with fury to fight klitscho, so he was good enough then.

    Most likely be a ppv, eddie was already on about getting eubank on the card, eubank vs Jacobs will be a good fight.

    Assuming chisora loses I think a fight with whyte would be a really good fight so there's a pay day there. If he's happy to be a gate keeper type, there's fights with Hughie fury and joseph parker where he'll pick up some decent money.

    Hearns ppv idea will see the end of the joshua hype train soon enough. Bearing in mind its his job to keep joshua winning. Who else would the public want joshua in with at this point in time? Good opponent for me but needs to drop the ppv angle for now.

    If anything josh should be dropped down a level after saturday nite on free to view boxing. Going from cornish and the rest of them to whyte was quite a big jump this early in his career. People pay there money for it so can see them arguing the case but that nearly went badly wrong on saturday nite. We all shout for competetive fights and rightly so if we re paying for it. But does nothing for career progression. Only rushes them too soon in much the way price was.

    Chisora on paper looks an easy enough fight but if chisora can take the power and keep coming...it turns into a nitemare for joshua. It could be a 1 round blow out for joshua but could also go the other way with a way more experienced fighter. 15 fights in...should not be taking that risk at this point. Needs to step back and forget about ppv for now and get out as often as possible

    I can't see anything wrong with this match either ,it makes sound sense to me.Chisora should give him some rounds,and it will be another learning experience imo.

    Can see Joshua/Chisora fighting early next year on a card against different opponents. April seems quite far away for Joshua's first fight of 2016.

    If I'm Chisora I only take the fight if the money is right- there are far easier, rewarding fights for Del. I like the Helenius fight. If he gets blasted out by Joshua in a few rounds I don't see how he comes back.
