Chisora certainly beat helenius though and that is a fairly good win but apart from that he really hasn't done much, I don't think he has slipped a huge amount it's more that he was just a bit overrated to begin with, his results don't seem to be too erractic throughout his career, I think he is pretty close to the same guy he has always been just slightly less energetic now.
Oh could be, I didn't think he came anywhere near beating Vitali, but he did a lot more of his own work than most anyone else who had fought him in years. You may be right that he hasn't slipped much, though was so useless in the Fury rematch but to be honest I'm not sure I even saw their first fight. He didn't have a style built to last though, his workrate and ability to take punishment was everything, never had top skills or a big punch and can only fight in close quarters.
