    yeh it stands out. But Tangled was the benchmark recently. I liked that. Odd, generally I hate Disney.

    What style would you say McVey fought in? Chisora could have dropped 20lbs for most of his fights and he was only really domestic level,when was he even the best fighter in the UK?

    From early reports he sounds like a Tyson type fighter to me.

    He's nowhere near the best in the UK. Joshua, Haye, Fury are all better.

    Him, Whyte and Price are probably the next level.

    The point mainly is everyone who beat Chisora gained a world ranking. So if Johnson can beat him, he'd be world ranked today which a certain subset of posters say isn't possible.

    I myself don't know. Johnson was always the bigger man in his fights. Aside from Willard. It's easy to say Johnson because he's Johnson. But would he actually do it?

    Chisora can't fight a lick and we are putting him against a renouned ATG. Only an idiot picks a bum over an ATG at his very best. One sided...every second.

    It's Helenius. Chisora got jobbed in that fight by all accounts.

    Deflection. He mentioned a prime Johnson. I want him to clarify this. That is what interests me before I pick a winner.

    the best I've seen from chisora was in the vitali fight.

    jj's got all the tools but he would have to fight in a different way to what we see in most of his film. i'm taking him tho, I don't think del hits at all hard so to an extent my pick is for class to win out over workrate.

    chisora was wide open for the sharp shots haye threw from in range and jack would have a lot of similar success imo.

    Prime Johnson, is without a doubt, the man who beat Jeffries.

    It wouldn't be the first time a great champion lost to a top ten contender.

    Greatness doesn't win fights. Winning fight makes one great.

    I pick Johnson but I imagine him fighting more like a Chris Byrd fight. I always envision that's how he'd look in the modern era.

    I'm sure he was most of the time, not checked the weights in a while.

    Aside from Willard I've never seen him fight as the smaller man.
