are there other instances where someone lost 3 fights in a row yet massivley improved their ratings, value and fans opinions of them?
seems like he dropped 20 lbs and put himself in great condition (i gave him the nod over Helenius) and he was dominated by Vitali but alive all the way and never really seriously hurt and he still had the strength to wrestle with David Haye post fight. I think the guy is a primitive animal as far as manners and respect but he has no fear in the ring and is top 10. I think he needs to fight Haye (another Big Mouth) and let them earn there way to a title fight vs Povetkin/Huck winner.....Vitali is 40 and slowing down fast and his intelligence should indicate to him that the time is near to exit on top like Lennox was lucky enough to do without rematching the soaring confidence Vitali
'I think the guy is a primitive animal as far as manners and respect' i guarantee as a fellow south londoner you could take him for tea with your nan and his manners would be impeccable. both him and haye making £, good 4 them.
I like his energy, he could be good. chisora did not beat klitchko but he showed the way. I recon a peak joe Frazier would have chopped both brothers down.
Chisora lost to fury when grossly undertrained which is his bad but isn't a great indicator of his ability. He beat helenius by any objective scorecard. He looked good against vitali, just not good enough. A fighter who improves his standing despite consistently "losing" is campillo.
Tommy Farr fought Joe Louis, Braddock, Baer and Nova back to back, losing them all, some controversially, even running Louis down to the wire I think Chisora has come on leaps and bounds and is getting better every fight, we know he beat Helenius and he just gave an ATG in Vitali hell. Nothing to be ashamed of in those 2 showings
I reckon not. All he showed was the way to win 3 rounds against a 40 year old Vitali. But I don't suppose Classicists admit that side of the equation.
I found Chisora quite frustrating for most of the fight he got inside and did not let go enough . Surely against a fighter of Vitali's age he should of been able to out work the older fighter .
he actually had a fight between the Fury fight and the Helinious fight that he won, so really wasnt "3 in a row". However....most feel he won the helinious fight..and he was so out of shape for the Fury fight, that he gets a partial pass on that..although he is a pro..and should be in shape for every fight.
No one gets passes for being out of shape. This is professional boxing, not tough man competitions. The fight begins months before entering the ring. That said, I am happy to see he came in shape against Vitali. I like his tenacity and work rate, but... he still lost overwhelmingly to a 40 year old, one armed fighter.
