    Chisora is a journeyman at best, a plodder in comparison to the boxing elite. I'd never call anyone a 'bum' as I've never put a pair of boxing gloves on in my life, but we'd all agree Chisora cannot hold a candle to the A fighters, and even the decent B fighters in my opinion.

    Yet Vitali could not get him out of there. Chisora has no defence really, he just stands there. Surely a Vitali that is held up as a monster by some should have been able to throw enough straights down the pipe to KO/TKO Del Boy?

    The fact he didn't puts a shadow over his legacy for me.

    Vitali rarely went "all out" to KO a guy. Also, if I recall, Vits was about 100 years old in that one.

    Not at all. Chisora was ranked and also robbed of victory vs Helenius. Vitali suffered a torn ligament, toughed it out and easily beat a much younger, an attack-oriented fighter at his peak when he was 40! With no injury, Vitali likely stops him
