Dereck Chisora, closest thing to Joe Frazier in modern heavyweight division?

Calm down grandpa.

 

I don't even have kids. Maybe learn some better insults. Or better yet stop trying to be hard or funny online. How about that.

 

All that last night showed up was Wilder's bum feasting and fraud as WBC Champ.

 

I specifically said Ali in a lot of god fights after the first Frazier fight, and Frazier and Buster Douglas. Never said anything about Larry Holmes etc, but yes towards the end of Holme’s career he was chubby too.

 

Chisora is a jewel to the boxing public and he won't be celebrated until long after he is out of the business. One of the greatest heavyweight journeyman of the past decade and is never in a boring fight and always gives everything he's got.

 

Stop trying to bring a laugh to my fellow posters? Why would I do that? I think you take the internet a bit to serious pops.

 

bump

opinions?

 

There is nothing, absolutely nothing remotely close to Joe Frazier in the heavyweight division .

 

I know Chisora was a big Frazier fan and molded his style to mimic his to some degree but he's a poor copy.

First off he lacks Frazier's wicked left hook, he relies more on the overhand right and he clearly lacks Frazier insane conditioning, even when Chisora was a lean 240lbs in his prime he couldn't set a pace anywhere near close to Frazier's.

Frazier was also a lot smarter in the ring, while Frazier was busy he didn't put as much into as many shots as Chisora does, he'd vary his power a lot more which is what also helped him to set such a high work rate and also set you up for the bigger punches. He'd touch you one place then smack you with a harder shot somewhere else, so his attacks were far less predictable than Chisora's.

 

Closest to a couch potato.

 

More like the modern day Bruce Seldon

 

He is like a mix of an old Frazier, a lackluster Mercer and a crazy Bert Cooper with a pinch of a Mike Tyson when Tyson isn't fighting and another pinch-just a pinch-of Mr. Humphries from television's Are You Being Served? Not enough to make him effeminate but just enough to make him quirky and British and weird.

 

LOL


Chisora is nowhere near Joe Frazier’s level

 

He's a level above Marv though.

 

Chisora at his best is a lot more skilled than people give him credit for. He puts on very good pressure with better head movement than most Heavyweights now and in the past and he cuts off the ring with his shifting fairly well. Joe Fraziers key so success wasn't his boxing ability either. It was his relentless pressure and great engine. Give Chisora the same stamina that Frazier had and and they would be two very similar fighters. The similarities are clear as day but he hurts people to think that Frazier can be compared to somebody who cant win a title in todays climate.
