    Well, Don is the better all round technician.
    However sometimes size is significant, and I think this is one of those occasions.
    I think Chisora would simply be too big and strong for Don to handle.
    Plus to be fair Chisora is a totally committed and determined adversary.
    He'd be too much for Cockell.
    Chisora by mid fight stoppage with Cockell having early success with his superior boxing.

    Chiorah is a good example of why Boxrec doesn't necessarily tell you everything.

    In fifty years time he wouldn't look very good, if all that you had was his record, but the devil is totally lost in the detail!

    Funnily enough, Cockell never lost to a guy over 200lbs, seems to do fairly well against the bigger guys.

    Chisora would KO Cockell within 3-4 rounds.

    Not true. Cockell got sparked by Valdes in 2 or 3 rounds

    I think Don's a wee bit too susceptible to a KO in this one.
    Chisora mid rounds.

    Right you are, got my knife and fork ready for some of that sweet sweet humble pie.

    Still pretty good record against the bigger guys.

    Don Cockell after he lost to Marciano wouldn’t last three rounds with Dereck.

    but Don before he lost to Rocky probably has a significant edge over Del Boy.

    Kitone Lave was beating on a dead man walking.

    lave vs Chisora is a fair fight.

    I don’t think Chisora was better than joe Bygraves.
