    Yeah, there is no way Chisora beats that heavyweight specimen Tommy Burns....

    He might, but only a rash man would put money on it!

    A great shout, for my money yes he would of. Chisora isn't a bad fighter when motivated, I would not bet against him finishing his career with a 'world' title at heavy weight, might have to wait for wlad to retire though!

    DelBoy would be a titlist in any era except the K2 era.

    He would easily, and I mean easily........beat Michael Moorer, beat John Ruiz, beat Oleg Maskaev, beat James Smith, beat Trevor Berbick, beat Leon Spinks, beat Floyd Patterson, beat Joe Walcott, etc etc etc.

    Only Michael Moorer wins rds vs DelBoy.

    Does that mean DelBoy is the goat.......no, it means there was a titlist in each era that he would comfortably beat.:deal:deal

    He would need to have another 20 fights under his belt before making any wild claims like that.

    Yeah. Don't think he'd ever be the type to defend a belt 5+ times or headline an era for any length of time, but there's a number of guys he could realistically beat on any given night to pick a title up.

    jesus.....can't see him beating patterson... :bart

    or...for that matter moorer...or berbick...or walcott...

    i think spinks is only one i'd pick him with confidence over out of them.

    I'd pick him over old Foreman, for starters. I've got plenty of respect for George, but he was getting outboxed against Morrison, Stewart, and Schultz before catching lightning against Moorer (in another fight he was getting soundly outboxed in).

    Unless he gets lucky with a paper champ, no.

    Beating George would've made him lineal. That's at least an even money fight for Chisora.

    when was the last time chisora actually outboxed anyone? Forman vs chisora would be similar to the vitali fight, chisora might even get knocked out by old foreman
