    NO HE STILL SLAPS, HIS PUNCHING TECHNIQUE IS TERRIBLE, HE WINGS HIS SHOTS WIDE AND anyone with a ounce of boxing skill can avoid them.

    I suppose after he went 12 rounds with Vitali it was understandable to mistake him for a heavyweight contender.

    Chisora v Wilder.

    Do you rule Del Boy out?

    He's still a big puncher and a threat, don't see him packing glass or being a joke like latter day Williams yet. A Joshua fight might still be on down the line.

    The rematch v fury was a joke..

    If that's all he can be ****d to do call it a ball game.

    Solid enough fighter but hes a euro level one at best.

    Limited power, awful winged punches and his chin while decent isn't up to holding shots from decent punchers.

    I think id pick browne over him now - it would be a tuff grinding kind of fight and that's the last thing dereck needs. If he comes motivated he can still be a good gate keeper/trial horse type - I can see AJ sparking him in the next year or so

    He's never been a big puncher.

    Not pillow fisted either. Could knock out your typical glass chinner like Wilder or Price with relative ease

    Very true, people make him out to be relatively feather fisted which isn't true by any means
