    You know, there was once a time in boxing where you could lose a couple fights and still have a future and not be considered a can.

    Chisora is scum. If you speak to anyone who's come across him in or out of the gym you'll know the truth.
    He came to England in 1999 and has been throwing his weight about in London with his "gang" ever since. He assuaulted his girlfriend so badly he was lucky to escape jail.He has numerous convictions for public order offences, assaulting a police officer and possession of an offensive weapon. All this after only being in the country for around ten years and supposedly busy training to be a pro boxer. This is the reason his orignal trainer threw him out of his gym after his 4th pro fight.
    I haven't even mentioned his attacks on fellow boxers (biting Paul Butlin, slapping Vitali Klitschko, spitting in the face of Vladimir Klitschko and assaulting and threatening to find and shoot Haye). This guy hasseriously bitten the hand that feeds him. This is not a race issue. Its a thug issue. He has noright to stay in this country as he has abused the freedom and opportunity afforded to him by the UK.

    This. Send him back to Zimbabwe.

    Edit: Actually, no. I'd love him to go back of his own accord.

    If Chisora can stay out of Jail and stay in boxing without getting his licecne revoked he'll be a top 10 heavy for a few years and can make some interesting bouts with the likes of Fury/Haye/Arreola/Helenius 2/Wlad/Mitchell.

    He proved he can legitimately hang at the world class level.

    How is getting dominated by a 40 year old with one arm and then getting brutally KTFO proving he is World Class?

    Chisora has no speed, crude boxing skills, and not much punching power. He is just a tough tomato can that isnt a afraid to brawl.

    I don't think so, four straight losses, two against injured opponents, no wins of any note at all on his record. Damaged goods, but he's had two good paydays.

    Why label Vitali a '40-year-old with one arm.' He's arguable the best Heavyweight in the world. You make it sound like Chisora lost to a complete joker. To be fair it's a pathetic thing to do.

    His last 3 fight (Haye,Vitali, Helenuis ) were all exciting of course he has a future.
    He needs 1 or 2 tuneup fight an then he should fight Povetkin, Arreola and Huck

    He's got a good future, but he needs to take a page out of Arreola book and find some winnable fights that maintain his relevancy.

    His comeback vs Peryalta was a nice win, but he'll get no credit for it whatsoever. His stellar effort vs Helenius was suspect due to the hoorbile nature of Helenius' injuries, and then to make matter worse, he goes and gets KTFO after being handled by Haye.

    Del needs to make some winnable fights while working out them kinks in his offense.
    His D is solid since his beard makes up for his openings, but he's gotta be able to get off his shots if hes gonna march straight forward. Haye, the only top fighter he's fought completely healthy proved that Del needs to punch coming in, and be able to do so vs a two armed fighter.
