I really think Chisora is going to make some real noise in the heavyweight division in the next 12 months
He did look better than he has done before. The lower weight has allowed him to fight at a higher pace. He's always had the style of the pressure fighter but never had the stamina but now he's definitely a more dangerous proposition. He also showed he can throw a straight right hand when he needs to instead of the looping right he always used to throw.
Look who he had in front of him tho... gerber is no good easy to look good against some one who just stands in front of you
Agreed. There's always alot of potential there but his poor physical and mental preparation for fights has been his downfall in the past. Now his mental demons seem a thing of the past and he's nearly at his optimum fighting weight he'll be a force to be reckoned with for any heavyweight in the world. For the first time he actually had good handspeed and his footwork and balance looked much better too. Also his power has improved due to the lower weight. I still think he could do with losing a few more pounds, i think his optimum fight weight would be around 225lbs. I'd say 95% of all active Heavyweights are over-weight, if Solis could ever get down to 225lbs he'd probably be the best Heavyweight out there.
the movement of Fraizer, the speed of prime Tyson, the footwork of Ali, the chin of Chuvalo, the power of Foreman there is no blueprint
People shouldn't get too carried away with this win. While he undoubtedly looked better and in this form I think is a genuine contender he was only fighting Gerber who had the perfect style to make him look good.
I wouldn't be as bold as to say what big names i can see him beating, but if he continues to improve like he has recently then the HW picture looks all the more exciting. I like what I've seen out of him so far, I'll say that much.
When he trains he's competitive with any heavy in the world, but for whatever reason he doesn't train when facing fellow brits. I'm 100% certain the derek that fought vitaly and helenius would've starched fury.
