Derek Chisora

[NUCLEAR BULL]

ok so he toasted old danny williams, dan is truely a shot fighter who cant take any shots...he should have retired 5 fights ago...how ever Derek Chisora beat what was in front of him....................what now for the young heavy? can he clean up the british scene??

[skel1983]

Not really difficult to clean up, I don't rate him personally.

I'm still not convinced on Chisora to be honest with you, whilst he looked fast and sharp against Danny Williams, who had trained himself for this fight and admitted that he wasn't doing the running he should be prior to the fight, I don't think he's anything more than a domestic fighter. Although he seems heavy-handed, he looks slow and his problems with focus will also come into play.

I see him having a decent rivalry with Sexton perhaps, and some of the others coming through, but not much more.

[Lefty]

Chisora is a good fighter, nothing special. I'ld pick him over A-Fraud and Sexton but it doesn't really say much. He's got decent boxing skills but I cant see him ever getting to world level or remotely close, even with how bad this heavyweight divison is now.

Clearly Haye aside there are no real stars in the British heavyweight division.

That said however, there are a bunch of reasonably talented European level fighters who can make for great fights. In terms of the rivalries that we can have the domestic heavyweight scene is by far the most stacked division in British boxing.

Just think we have Haye, who to be fair is a cut above these guys and likely won't be involved in any fights with them.

But under him we have.

Audley Harrison
Sam Sexton
Tyson Fury
Derek Chisora

Then we have former stalwerts who may carry on in

Matt Skelton
Martin Rogan
Michael Sprott
John McDermott

Add to that a few unbeaten prospects headed in

David Price
Tom Dallas
Richard Towers

and there is likely to be more fun fights in the British heavyweight scene than at a world level imo.

Derek chisora once bit a guy so from that point of view I'm never going to like the guy.

Danny Williams was there for a couple of quid, nothing more, nothing less.

David Price or Tom Dallas will rinse this guy.

Chisora could be a british champ. Maybe a euro champ. Can't see him being a world champ though.

Domestically there could be some good friday fight nights ahead.

Hey don't forget my boy and the new southern area heavyweight champ, Larry Olubamiwo

Yup, he's still very rough around the edges but just needs to land one punch on any of those names you listed above to put them to sleep..So I'd put his name up simply for that

And don't forget he trains with Freddie Roach now for a few weeks of his camps. (I think Roach is over-rated personally but he's still a world class coach so he can only improve Larry who raves about Roach's coaching ability)
