    It would put him in line for a fight with Wlad. He doesn't deserve it. He needs to, y'know, actually beat someone.

    No way does povetkin stop chisora.. Doesn't have the pop and by the looks of it, his stamina/ fitness is so bad he would possibly find himself in deepwater late on in the fight.

    Good fight between decent contenders. Povetkin's class would come through I think.

    Povetkin's even less mobile than an injured Vitali and lacks head movement. Easier fight for Chisora.

    No way is he a harder opponent than Vitali Klitschko.

    Del Boy vs Povetkin is a good fight. Povetkin is technically very good but hr doesn't seem special in any area, not that we can see. His stamina was well below needed against Huck. If you are a small guy, one of your strong points has to be you can go 12 rounds good.

    Pvetkin offers more technically than Del Boy but Del Boy would push him hard.

    I also think this has potential to be a good fight. Both have a good work rate and delboy has great stamina and will inside the ring.

    Wonder where rahman fits in all this, hes so over the hill that wrong turn is acually about him.

    I think Chisora appears to be one of those fighters that raises his game when required. That has the unfortunate downside that he is likely to come in below par when he can't get up for a fight (e.g. Tyson Fury...for whatever reason).

    If that turns out to be the case, then expect Chisora to look competitive against the best, but fall short at a much lower level when he is not totally dedicated to a fight. Chisora would give his best performance against Wlad, Vitali or Haye now. Anyone else and I think he will disappoint, and everyone will be writing him off again. I think Chisora would give a much better account of himself than Mormeck will do against Wlad. In fact, Chisora must be one of Wlad's hardest challenges out there (as funny as that may sound). Wlad has had the fortunate situation of having a series of poor contenders wilt in the ring before him without as much as an ounce of effort coming his way. You can guarantee that Chisora would move forward all night and constantly pressure Wlad. It would be a good fight...

    As for versus Povetkin, it's pretty even if Chisora comes in at the top of his game.

    I think Povetkin's wins home cooking or not I think he beats Del Boy.
