Current Carlos Takam vs Prime Derrick Chisora who wins?

What's a prime Chisora?

 

I lean towards Takam in a competitive fight. I remember David Haye saying something to the effect of being surprised by Takam in sparring for Chisora and it turned out that Takam was actually more than enough to prepare for that fight - which could be considered to be banter to get under Chisora's skin around the time of the fight, but he continued to say that YEARS later... partly as a warning when AJ was a bit greener as a pro and was considering fighting Takam to become IBF mandatory - which we know Joseph Parker ended up doing when AJ got an easy shortcut straight to the title via the "God among men" Martin.

 

Chisora criminally underrated.

The chisora that fought Vitali beats the Takam that fought Parker/Povetkin

 

Takam can swarm similar to Chisora see why Hayemaker picked Takam for sparring.

Chisora-Takam would be a fun fight.

 

I'd lean to Takam as well

 

takam... prime chisora is heavy overated...

 

I have no idea, but it would definitely be a FOTY contender. Neither man's back will touch the ropes. Prime for prime I'd lean towards Takam as the more skilled brawler, but prime Chisora may just beat 36 YO Takam.

 

Takam is the more versatile fighter, better jab, better right hand, superior foot work. Takam even showed he has OK movement when he out boxed Povetkin early in their fight.

But I do think Chisora is underrated. Problem he has he's so rarely in shape and with his swarmer style physical fitness and good conditioning is vital for him to be effective.

I think Takam is the better fighter but Chisora would give him a good fight. Even when out of shape Chisora always gives it his all.

 

I'd say it could well be Joshua's second best win, though the trick is styles make fights... and having the fight being finalised a week before the event will play more against Takam than AJ imho. Takam probably wasn't preparing as though he was about to have what will likely be his only shot at a world title fight against the strongest opponent he's ever going to face

Takem wins on points

takem is fringe world class where chisora was only ever European level at best

 

If you list Chisora's top 5 performances, most, if not all, ended in defeat.

European level Ian Lewison.

 

Trick question. Chisora has never beaten anyone, has never had a prime.
