Has He learned more from His past 5 fights than if he would of beat up 20 journymen/cans? Does a fighters record mean anything these days?
Derrick or dereck who gives a ****.. He has made a name for himself after his last three fights, even though they were losses. He will probably be fed some bums in his next couple fights to work on his confidence. Interesting figure in the current dead heavyweight division.
He should definitely looked for some softer competition, but anything outside the top 100 would be a waste of his efforts. He wont be fighting any "bums" although some here consider C and Blevel guys just that. I guess if they aint world champs, theyre bums. He should look to take on some gatekeepers and journeymen. Bydenko would be a easy win, and a credible one. As would Airrich or Bahtov. He might even consider a trip to the US where he could make a few easy fights with the likes of Maddalone, Gavern, Reed. Just take 5 or six easy ones, then back to world level comp......nothing wrong with that. He needs to learn how to properly throw that lead L hook and how to feint. He's becoming horribly predictable, and without one punch KO power, that could spell defeat more often than not on the Blevel and up.:think
yeah he will probably be thrown in with some gate keeper types id expect at least 3 of them to get his record a little better. Madalone would have been a decent shout but having lost to Fury if Dell cant get him out of there quicker its another back handed Knock on his record. He can easily come again - he has a bit of a name in UK and abroad now so with some sensible match making he could get back to top tier fights tho im not sure he has enough Power and skill to win all that many. He can still make good money and a euro belt isnt beyond him. Id try and find someone like Rahman to give him some rounds - old but still dangerous with some experience and a name. Althou $$$ would probably be and issue what about someone like Dominic Guinn?
sherman williams, shane cameron, monte barrat, shannon briggs, holyfield, ibragimov, chagaev, timo hoffman, tye fields, i think he could beat tony thompson, im not saying the rest are definate wins, but they are all name/gatekeepers.
