Derek Chisora vs prime Larry Holmes (Boxing Evolution Theory)

Value is the hardest puncher in history then.

 

I...guess we are on the same page after all. I didn't see that coming.

 

Shavers seems quite underrated here
Guy would have most probably flattened Delboy

 

Target practice for Larry aside from maybe 2-3 semi eventful, semi competitive rounds. Chisora's face would look he was belted by a combination lock. That jab would stop him dead in his tracks, followed by the occasional laser right hand or flurry. Holmes shuffles his feet, jabs, moves, frames, 1-2, moves, blocks, counters, flurries, head movement, repeat every round. If he pisses Holmes off and manages to rock Holmes or gets busy hitting him against the ropes, Holmes increases the tempo and stops him late.

 

I stand by my comment. Chisora needed brit stoppages after being rocked to beat Gerber and Pala. He got a gift with his "victory" over Pulev the second time.

 

Joshua definitely hits harder than Chisora

 

This

 

Holmes struggled to even land on Tyson and got destroyed easily.
Tyson is 5'10.
Chisora is quite a bit bigger, not as fast, not as good a puncher maybe, but has a better engine and determination and chin.
Chisora would just keep coming.
I don't think Holmes will do much to Chisora and maybe even get ground down.
Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Usyk, Fury or Vitali who boxed Chisora but could hurt him.
Probably a bad matchup for Holmes actually.
Chisora is not the most skilled or athletic but due to other aspects he has been a tough fight for everyone except Haye who managed to KO him early and Fury in the rematches who is much bigger and more powerful than Holmes.

 

Holmes hit harder than Usyk

 

I'm stunned....did i read that juggernaut of dribble properly??? Holmes had retired and King threw a load of money at him to fight Tyson. Holmes would have dealt with Chisora rather easily

 

One of the worst posts I've ever seen on this forum absolutely embarrassing.

38 year old inactive Holmes fighting one of the best H2H fighters of all time at Heavyweight in Mike Tyson is really comparable to a fringe contender in Chisora who's never been ranked in the top 10......

Yeah a slow limited slugger who is a fringe contender is a bad style match up for a elite technical boxer whos a top 10 Heavyweight of all time....my goodness.

Holmes doesn't hit as hard as Usyk or Fury ? Holmes had 15 stoppages in his world title fights.

You haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

 

I will say that Chisora does have a way of putting up good losing efforts. See his fight with Usyk. Usyk won but Chisora sure didn't let it be an easy victory.

A prime Holmes could clearly hit hard enough. Just like Ali. "they weren't hard hitters". Ok, I guess they didn't have concussive one punch power like a Shavers or a Foreman, but they sure did knock out a lot of opponents in title fights and were pretty damn good at getting a guy out of there once he was hurt. Clearly they weren't throwing pitter patter shots.

 

When has Chisora ever had a good win?
