    We all know it's not just Chisora who wished to slap Vitali like that.
    After all the easy money they've made in Germany by fooling the people with their boring **** fights and still considering themselves in line with boxing greats such as Tyson,Ali, Lewis.
    This slap was long overdue!
    I sincerely enjoyed it :good

    It was out of order & unprovoked :-(

    (But if anyone deserves a slap for his past behaviour at weigh-ins & face-offs its Vitali)

    Did it makes the news in America?

    Its not sportsmanlike and professional, and it sends out the wrong message.

    Sportsmanship and professionalism have never been synonymous with boxing.

    Boxing thrives on controversies and bizarre incidents, I do believe that champions should strive to be clean and professional athletes.

    Thats not too much to ask for, imo.

    Chisora knows how to build up interest. Good on him.

    Nope, it's bad for boxing's image. :-(

    But it's good for the die hard boxfans, who are interested to know how it will affect Vitali's performance. Will he completely obliterate Chisora now (early KO), will he punish him over the stretch or will he fight the fight he's used to and break Chisora down and stop him late? :think

    This much is certainly true, and if Chisora manages to get inside Vitali'a head as a result of the slap the $50k a bargain.

    It's not just building interest, it's disrespecting the champion who thinks is an ATG in boxing history but does not know how to react after getting bitchslapped. This is not how a BOXING champion should react and just shows that the Klitschko's are nowhere near ATG material.

    Chisora slaped the right one. Vitali shows bad sportsmanship himself.

    His behavior against Lewis, Sanders, he wants to punish Solis on the canvas (Wlad hold him back).

    So how should they react? Get in a brawl with Chisora and his team at a weigh in or wait and completely ****ing embarrass him the very next night?

    Maybe they should cheapshot Chisora like your hero Riddick Bowe did to Donald?

    Sadly the HW division is so boring in terms of matchups and actual fights, stuff like this has to happen in order for people to care

    The message to Vitali was clear. I'll slap you all over the ring tomorrow.

    When you are fighting such a pperson as Vitali, you give him clear messages about what you want to do to him. Did you notice the way Chisora went for helenius before the fight in Finland?Helenius was beaten before the first bell.
