    Watch Fury V Chisora 3 for reference.

    Chisora is a good solid tough fighter if still a weak contender who is good for heavyweight boxing but this is an ATG we are comparing a weak contender to.

    Chisora held on to Usyk`s arm for the first 6 rounds, Shavers had more power than Chisora and Holmes had a longer, better jab than Usyk, Larry`s jab and move style would do to Chisora what Fury`s stick and move style did to him, Usyk is a pressure fighter which made it harder to deal with Chisora`s strength.

    He`d beat Chisora easily, but Usyk is far better than anybody Larry beat including Witherspoon, it would have been a great fight.

    Probably looks similar to Holmes vs Berbick with Chisora making some rounds competitive with his willingness and aggression but ultimately he loses near enough every round.

    If its 12 rounds Chisora loses a wide decision.

    If its 15 rounds Chisora gets stopped late.

    Easy night for Larry.

    And I seriously doubt that Bowe hits harder than Shavers.

    Chisora.....punches are like a mosquitoe.....
    Shaver's punches were like a sledge hammer.

    Holmes wasn’t beard limited. Doesn’t really matter.

    Miss match and Larry batter him. Derek’s face would be swollen and battered by Larry’s jab

    Similarly Holmes is miles above anyone Usyk has beaten. Great fight but I see Holmes using that stick and taking a relatively comfortable victory.

    Already a contender for the worst thread of 2025

    Chisora got dominated by kubrat pulev, poleaxed by David Haye, and barely won a couple rounds against a 40 vitali klitschko who couldn’t even use because of an injury. Derek wouldn’t even rank in Larry’s top 10 most competitive fights.

    Does Larry has as many busted joints as Usyk did for the fight?

    Holmes pummels him senseless in a one-sided fight.
    Chisora doesn't even qualify as a tomato can facing Holmes.

    Harder puncher than Shavers? :qmeparto:

    The idiocy on here remains as legendary as ever.

    Watch Chisora against Pulev, who probably had the best jab among his opponents. Holmes might honestly beat him without using his right hand.
