    Adamek's fighting Cunningham. And he's totally wrong for Chisora - he's a tidy boxer who can move pretty well compared to most heavies. Basically, he'll keep Dereck turning like Haye did, only he won't score a knock out. Bad match-up.

    I'd like to see Chisora in with someone he can actually get a W over.

    Holyfield wouldn't get licensed over here- Chisora would have to go over to the States for a fight which wouldn't have much upside for him. Seth Mitchell would be a 50/50 fight for Chisora in the States. I still think he'll fight someone like an Adamek on Frank's December card and then Price next year.

    Apologies didn't know he was fighting soon- all the talk of Fury fighting Adamek in December made me think he was available:lol:.

    Depending on just how much Skelton has actually got left and how he does against Pricey I 'd be pretty interested at that match-up potentially.

    Admitedly Skelton is at last chance saloon and the level of his opposition in this return has provided little in the way of a benchmark, but he certainly is looing the part physically and despite his advanced age he isn't necessarily that old in boxing terms having come to the game late.

    I think Chisora Skelton could be a really physical fight and I can quite imagine it getting pretty nasty.

    Depending on how Skelton does against Pricey, it would then give Chisora a chance to perhaps better him and help to drum up extra interest (although for a variety of reasons I can't imagine a Price/Chisora fight would need much promotion at all!).

    No need to apologise! I just happened to be reading about the rematch since the first bout was such good fun.

    Chisora/Skelton is an easily winnable fight for Dereck as they both aren't exactly what you would call technicians. Richard Towers wouldn't be a bad shout but he's fighting in Hong Kong soon I hear.

    I never understand why some of our domestic guys don't fight the Klitschkos ex opponents and try to beat them quicker to make a point.

    In such an open division you rarely see genuine 50/50 fights made which is a shame. Last one I can remember was Huck/Provetkin which was a barn burner.

    I'm guessing it's either Mike Perez (because apparently he is out in December) or Povetkin.

    I hope the reign Chisora in a bit. He needs a few tune ups and he needs to be busy.

    Let him regain his confidence and earn his way into a Price / Fury / Povetkin type fight.

    Chucking him straight back into the mix after losing heavily to Haye is a bad move.

    Chisora's far from finished.

    If Price fought Fury, Helenius, Klit and Haye then he'd lose to Klit and Haye, would beat Helenius but might get robbed and nobody's sure how the Fury fight would go.

    So even Price who is our best prospect would be 2-2 at best, potentially 0-4 like Chisora.

    He's probably out of shape as usual, if he wants to win fights he needs to train and live the life.

    fighters that plod forward taking punches to get inside due to their iron chins usually aren't the same after getting this treatment
