    Cooney would win. Chisora's a pudding. Chisora hasn't beaten anyone as good as Cooney in his 14 year career.

    Best wins are Takam who is not above Euro level, Price who has been lit up more times than a 30 year old Christmas tree and the ghost of Kevin Johnson.

    Chisora is the luckiest fighter and one of the most overrated on the planet, 10 defeats, lost his last fight, next fight is PPV.

    It's simply baffling.

    What a rubbish fight

    What sort of fantasy match up is this?

    Cooney for whats worth wins

    Better fighter, harder puncher and more heart

    Depends on which Cooney shows up. I agree a confident Cooney most likely stops Chisora early to mid rounds.

    But doesn't Chisora's chances improve the longer the fight lasts?

    Cooney getting overrated here not really clear cut who would win.. Cooney beat a washed up Young and way past prime Norton and Lyle. Cooney also got a pasting from Larry Holmes. I'm not sure where any of this hype comes for Cooney

    He was a world level contender in a very good era

    Chisora got his one title shot during the most boring era in recent years

    Cooney at his best TKOs Chisora late imo. I think prime Cooney is pretty underrated nowadays
