    Broke his hand in the first round, but it was the torn rotator he suffered 6 weeks prior to the fight which caused him the greatest trouble. He basically couldnt throw it straight without severe pain, and couldn't put the necessary force into it while winging it.
    That said.....he was still very competitive in each rounds, winning 3-4 rds clearly and giving the hometown judges enough to consider when they tallied their scores.

    That "loss" has completely turned fans against him, and makes guys forget how devastating his shots were when he was battering Gammer, Brewster, Bydenko, Liakovich, Levin, Peter, Oloukun and Tony:huh

    I agree with you but actually helenius-oloukun was quite similar than robbe-chisora, just a "jab and grab" match. The reason to that was same too.

    Helenius is less dominant then other major contenders. How many rounds do you see David Haye or Kubrat Pulev or even Povetkin lose? Not many. He looks slow and loses alot of rounds but generally manages to turn the tide with some big punches. It wasn't a surprise when Chisora outboxed Helenius....the surprise was Helenius not landing enough punches to stop the guy.

    At the moment Helenius isn't Top 10 h2h because he hasn't proven the Chisora fight was an anomaly and he hasn't boxed since injury.

    I think most agree that the top four is
    Wlad, Vitali, Haye, Povetkin

    With Price and Fury about ready to come knocking at the top five's door

    After fifteen or sixteen consecutive losses, how can ANYONE put Chisora in their top ten?
