    Exactly. Reading some of the comments on here I feel like I have stumbled into some sort of parallel universe.

    This is the same Dereck Chisora who got outboxed by a man who's fundamentals and technique are so poor that he punches himself in the face during his fights.

    To be fair Chisora in his last fight looked as good as anyone Vitali has fought since Lewis or Sanders. Chisora may only have had 17 fights but he has earned his title shot unlike others. Sure he has only looked good in his last fight but Sanders was in a similar position being only a fringe contender prior to having one good performance against Wlad much like Chisora.

    Chisora has a better chance than Haye or Adamek due to his style. Adamek and Haye are boxers and simply don't have the style to ever beat Vitali. Even Lewis couldn't out box Vitali and was forced to walk him down, which Chisora has the style to do.

    But having said that I expect nothing less than another Vitali domination. Vitali is not Helenius, he won't be as easy to get close to and even if Chisora does get close Vitali will just tie him up. I don't think Chisora has the strength be able to work on the inside like Lewis did. If Chisora wins a round it would be impressive. Chisora maybe a worthy contender but that doesn't mean he will do any better than anyone else.
