Who is the bravest heavyweight in this era?

Carlos Takam.

He fought:

• Makhmudov
• Joyce
• Chisora
• Joshua
• Parker
• Thompson
• Perez
• Forest
• Povetkin

 

No one. Everyone is a pussycat

 

Bravest would have to go to Wilder, after getting absolutely pieced up by Fury he fought tooth and nail for a rematch and performed like a warrior in the 3rd fight.

 

Christian Hammer:

Joe Joyce
Frank Sanchez
Hughie Fury
Tony Yoka
Luis Ortiz
Tyson Fury
Alexander Povetkin
David Price
Marisuz Wach
Danny Williams

 

Takam is a warrior, another fighter who's willing to step in the ring with anyone and always turns up to fight. Mad respect for the man.

 

Definitely agree with this. I do think he could have fought Joyce back when Haye was managing him but it was a big risk, no reward type of fight.

 

and lose every time. He's shite.

 

Good post. It definitely takes guts to fight a guy that has completely dominated you not long before, and to go in and not fight cagily and let your hands go shows a lot about his character

 

Nobody mentioned Otto Wallin

 

Bravest?
Thats Chisora, thats why we boxing fans all love him.

Yeah Takam also deserves to be mentioned. Big respect to the man.

 

Which one has been in a warzone?

 

Anyone who steps in the ring is brave.

You guys are confusing bravery with easy opponent. Taken and Chisora are fine example of less skill guy getting paid to pad a record. Both guys get fight cause they are B side , have little negotiation power, and will fight for less money. Does this make them more brave ? Nope. It just means they know they have limited opportunity and will fight anyone to make a quick half million to million will they can.

 

Chisora a very brave limited fighter with an excellent resume,or Usyk who is an excellent fighter but only faced three fighters at Heavyweight ? At the moment Chisora for me which could well change depending on the rest of Usyks career .

 

The question was "who is the bravest" though. Chisora never just turned up for a paycheck, he always gave it a go, fought on the front foot and never stopped throwing punches. If Chisora landed his big right hand on any of the fighters he fought it would of been lights out for them.

 

Ohhhhhhh Derick Chisora.
