    When all is said and done, I think Del Boy will have a good argument as being one of the ten best non belt holding HW contenders of the 2010's. Takam and Scott are very solid, borderline top ten wins (Takam is the best win Povetkin has had since 2011, and Chisora did it better than him, and probably better than AJ). Got robbed by Helenius, who was regarded as the next big thing, a top 6 hw, had close or debatable losses to other top to fringe contenders in Whyte, Kayabel, Pulev, and was competitive against some of the best HW's of his era, Fury (I) Haye, and Vitali. Whyte is now legitimately in the top 5, and while it wasn't a robbery, most people thought Chisora won that fight. Only time he truly got blanked was by Fury II. And a bunch of quality lower lever wins against Johnson, Gerber, Williams, Pala Sexton. Above all, he FIGHTS. He's fought more contenders than any non belt holder, outside of Povetkin, in this decade.

    Total travesty Ring magazine never rated him in the top 10. I have less problems with their rankings now than normally, but even now, there's no way Adam Kownacki deserves on that list more Chisora.
