The fact is that Fury's best win at Heavyweight is Chisora and that was a fat slow version of Derek. Chisora has been in with the BEST HEAVYWEIGHTS IN THE WORLD and performed well against them. He beat Helenius who was red hot at the time, gave Vitali Klitschko his toughest fight since he came back and despite getting stopped by Haye, he was just starting to come on and got caught by an absolute bomb. Also i hope we have a strong ref who stops Fury from hugging and leaning like he does in all his fights.
Helenius had no power then, and his career has been stagnant due to his hand issues. Chisora has lost to every top HW he's faced aside from Helenius, he may have given Vitali a tough fight(a man who was almost 41 years old, and at the end of the career) but he still lost in a lopsided manner, he was in way over his head.. So you're basically priding the guy for losing in nearly every big fight he's had, well done..... I want a clean fight as well, the ref will need to watch out for Chisoras rabbit punching.
Cunningham vs Chisora. chisora grinds him down late on? cunningham survived a bigger punch in amir mansour. Chisora has shown he can put up a good fight but he never won against vitali, and didnt win vs haye. He gives anyone a difficult fight, but he has a bit of losers mentality. he doesnt possess that huge punch, or even a strong punch, that does his workrate and toughness justice.
That's an interesting fight actually... If Chisora loses, I wouldn't mind seeing it. Though I suspect that if he loses he'll beat a few Eurolevel guys to pad his record a bit before taking on another world level heavy.
It's all good and well to say this now but Chisora fought them all when they were Top class Heavyweights. Vitali was most peoples Number 1 Heavyweight in the world and for me Derek won 3 or 4 rds against him and pushed him harder then any one in his career apart from Lennox Lewis, Chris Bryd and Sanders. I've changed my mind. CHISORA is going to absolutely SMASH Fury, this will be an easy fight for him. Fury is one of the most over-rated boxers i've ever seen, he's only wins because of his size and his constant hugging, holding and leaning on his opponents.
Both have improved since the first meeting. Question is who has improved the most. I think Chisora has markedly improve since the last fight. He's now about 30lbs lighter. His work rate is much higher than the first fight because of this weight loss. His right hand is straighter he has more than just the loop right now. His power also seems to have improved having stopped 4 of his last 5 opponents and dropped Johnson the one guy that went the distance. I think Fury has improved as well, better punching technique, more measured approach and while his weight is about the same as the first fight with Chisora the first time, his body composition is better. But his physical improvement is not as great as Chisora's. Chisora was able to hurt Fury the first time and he can definitely do so this time. Fury won't have a fighter who will gas after a few rounds this time, he is in against a good pressure fighter who showed against Vitali and Helenius that he can get inside on taller men. Fury for all his improvements does still fall into old habits and this will cost him. Fury will pay for his inconsistent training habits, Chisora will overwhelm him and stop him late.
Seriously? Does your hate for the Klitschkos run that deep? Maybe you're one of that guys who also claim he wasn't injured against Byrd but just quit because Byrd was coming on strong :roll:
Fury by decision, but there's an higher probability he'll win the fight by stoppage than in the first fight. Both have improved, and it's true that Chisora has perfected his technique and power (he knoccked down Kevin Johnson with a single hook, did anybody else knoccked him down? Vitali didn't for sure, nor did Fury) But i think Fury is the one having improved the most, and IF he doesn't lose his mind in the fight, he could dominate. Anyway the winner will be Wlad's mandatory, right? Good thing, both those two are good opponents, and have definitely earned their shot. Fury, particularly, is stilistically and phisically a nightmare for Wlad.
I'm taking Fury by UD. He will take more punches than necessary and probably give away 3-4 rounds. I see Chisora gassing out in the later rounds due to Furys size/weight.
