How good is Derek Chisora?

Froch and Haye said he gave Pulev a good close fight. Did he fook he did nothing, got schooled.

 

Froch is a hook-nosed moron.

Massive UK shill as well.

 

but hes dropped from sky for slagging off joshua. lol. both are bad, but mr haye is the artist of bull****.

 

Haye's a massive dildo as well, but I didn't feel the need to point that out.

 

haha, anytime slagging of haye is a good time for me. i want to all to know what a massive dildo he is.

 

Very underated fighter, gave vitali, haye (prior to knockout), fury 1. and Whyte 1 & 2 close fights

beat Helenius and Whyte 1 imo

Only been properly schooled once and that was the 2nd fury fight

Very good test for Usyk Saturday

 

Pulev was covered in fart sauce at the time and made chisora look like a bumsteak!

 

Pulev beat him handily, not close at all. Garbage SD with a runaway judge.

The Hail Mary he pulled against Takam gave his career a nice surge, but I still tend to think he is C-level.

 

This and this.

Ferguson...Guinn...Cooper...Occasio...Tillis...Barrret...Harrison...Evangelista...London...

When he was young and hyped, I couldn't figure out what he supposedly did well. He has grown on me over the years, and I am hoping that after he loses to Usyk he gets his rematch with the now-surging Helenius and calls it a day, win lose or draw.

 

Actually pretty hard to know how good he is, especially these days. And the British are more interested in hyping brands for their muppet PPV market, so you always have to try to get through the smoke and mirrors.
But Chisora does have nine losses and even ''good'' wins have an asterisk.

Johnson was on the decline.
Scott stoppage was dodgy.
Takam shot was probably lucky.
The hooligan guy was probably pretty shot.
Price didn't have a proper preparation, filled in (though admitted Chisora was a bad matchup).

 

Nah man he is B level. I think he deserves a bit of respect.

 

I’ve been saying he is a gatekeeper but other in here has argued he is more than that. This late in his career I can’t see how anyone can argue he is more than a gatekeeper.

 

This is a perfect description.

 

Chisora, regardless of what anyone here thinks of him, will be a proper test for Usyk @ heavyweight.
Usyk is trying to trick his way for a shot at the crown but Chizzy just might give him a treat for his heavyweight sweet tooth this coming Saturday.

 

I used to think he was overrated but in this thread, a litle underrated. He's a gatekeeper but if he had been born at just the right time or played clever matchmaking games rather than always being the one to jump on the grenade he could have nicked a belt.

I've always wondered whether he or Whyte or any of these other big, strong, slow HWs could really focus their training on speed and endurance and go up a level. Maybe that's ridiculous but I'd love to hear why it wouldn't work.
