Is Dereck Chisora finished as a heavyweight contender?

[BTL]

Was Dereck Chisora ever a legit contender? Or was he just a tough journeyman with a top promoter who got him into fights with contenders?

He's had 4 losses in his past 5 fights.

Will he ever again have a world title shot? Will he ever again get to fight a top heavyweight contender like Fury, Pulev or Haye?

He lost five of his past 6 fights.

He lost to haye twice.

you mean like Tyson Fury?

If he's in shape, he's definitely a threat.

Maybe, his stock has gone down alot with the KO loss

[porknchili]

I doubt he'll ever become a champion unless he picks up his workrate and learns to cut off the ring, but I'm sure he'll stay in the top 10-20 for a a few years.

I dont see him winning titles anytime soon but there are lots of good fights out there for him i feel.
I wouldn't say hes that good of a fighter ,but hes not that bad either...certainly not in a poor divison like the HW one.

The real top fighters in the division aside, i think Chisora is game enough to be competitive against most in the division.

[The Hammer]

The poll results indicates a lot of people think he still has a future as a heavyweight contender.

[Alonzo Harris]

He's a B+ fighter, He'll beat 95% of heavyweight but lose to the "Elite's" I could see him winning some euro titles in the future, I'd like to see him fight Povetkin at some point.

[PAC-BOY]

he was finished before he began!

chisora is a much better fighter and talent than fres oquendo

i think he'll do more than barrett as well. and grant was a talent, but the guy did nothing with it.


chisora's also got a trump card to play:
he sells tickets in the UK.

oquendo was a solid HW a few years ago & has been on the short end of a bad decisions & he's fought many of the top guys the last 15 or so years. i just used him as an example of a gatekeeper but he does sell tickets & That's a bonus. andrew golota was the same. even after a few DQ's & when he quit vs tyson he could still pack MSG so he was always getting good fights.

Chisora can come back strong for sure hes only 28 ! But maybe at the top level he needs a new trainer!
