Chisora didn't deserve to be fined. I think the slap is made things more interesting to fans and more people will watch. That equals more money. Too much pussy shit goes on with boxing sometimes.
Its just another way for a greedy and corrupt ABC org to make money. No more, no less.
You know I just looked up each and every one of those boxers that you just mentioned just because I like to to research before I make an opinion. All of them were in great shape in their prime. They all make Chisora look out of shape, which he is when you consider what type of athlete that he is. He might be in great shape from what he used to be, but still has a way to go if he wants to be taken seriously. There has been huge advancements in nutrition and exercising so there really is no reason why any real contender should come in looking flabby.
Your statement was "the greatest heavyweight champions have always been ripped ". This is simply not true.
Is what a matter of opinion? That Chisora is an unworthy/worthy world title challenger? Sure. You could argue that for most opponents in history though, if you're so inclined.
Fact remains Helenius is a top ten rated opponent, currently ranked number 6 in the world. Now most people believe Chisora beat him, which isn't strictly a fact, but I doubt you'll find many people arguing with it considering how overwhelmingly one-sided it was.
So Chisora is unofficially 16-1 and a firmly top ten rated heavyweight. Like I said, I can think of loads of worse challengers than that.
As can I. But it still doesn't make him a worthy Challenger, that's my opinion. Hopefully that gets changed. ;)
I respect Del for not selling his boot souls but after taking that hefty fine he should probably take the deal! He needs to make some good cash from his big shot....
People thought that with Wlad as well, and while Vitali is a little more hot-headed than his brother, I'd wager that ingrained reactions from 45 fights and countless rounds of sparring will kick in come fight night and override any of his wilder emotions. I don't like to say the Klitschkos are robots, but they have a very professional mentality that tends to filter out all that stuff come fight time.
I tend to agree my man but Vitali will either fight calmly and controlled in his typical clinical fashion (as i expect) JUST as he usually does, OR come out a bit more wild and thus more hittable/beatable....
Either way the slap cant hurt Chisora's chances, Vitali isnt gonna perform Better because of it.
Chisora was ****ed the moment he signed the contract. A 15-2 prospect has no business fighting either Klit. Its funny how the Klit fans were touting Chisora as a worthy challenge till this point. NEWSFLASH: he was never a worthy Challenger and the slap will mean nothing as the outcome would be the same no matter what.
i agree that he's not going to win but he's beyond the prospect stage. they move fighters more quickly in the UK to get them exposure.
he's been quite a few rounds with some decent fighters
klitshcko ko 8. maybe ten
i'm excited for the fight. i think it should be fun. are there any free streams that anybody knows about?

Flabby? I think you have unrealistic expectations for what a heavyweight should look like. Guys like Evander were the exception, not the rule. Chisora is overly heavy IMO, but he isn't necessarily fat or undertrained.
If anything it gives Del a better chance. Klitchko is calm and methodical breaking his man down usually. Who knows if he gets out of character and fights a bit more wild looking for an early KO perhaps he opens himself up a bit more increasing Del's own chances of a KO

Why are people starting to think Vitali is gona lose because of the slap? Vitali never lets emotions get to him in a fight, He will fight exactly the same way he always does & KO him around 9 - 10
It says in the article the British Boxing Board is holding his purse while they "investigate" and will undoubtedly fine him too.
So with that, plus the $50k, he really isn't going to make crap from this fight.
Its 50.000 Euros so about 30k!
one thing that keeps entering my mind is that Chisora couldn't even beat Tyson Fury. I am not expecting a fight tomorrow. I want one but am not expecting one.
Did you see the shape he was in for the Fury fight? He was well out of shape which was entirely his own fault.
This fight he looks in much much better condition although he should still get knocked out.
Still backing Del Boy to pull off an upset!

I don't see Vitali getting in there and going for the early KO. He knows that's what Chisora wants. I'm hoping a Klitschko fight is at least a little entertaining for a change.

lol! chisora is only getting 100000 pounds? no wonder they make these title defences vs anyone. 30000 in a stadium where the K bros probably clear at least 10 million.
Ali wasn't ripped. Neither was Louis, Johnson, Jeffries, Foreman, Liston, Holmes, Bowe or Lewis. The list is much deeper than that to. I may not respect Chisora as a credible challenge, but he got himself in great shape for this fight.

Isn't that a matter of opinion?

How do these heavyweight boxers expect to be taken seriously when they come in so out of shape. The greatest heavyweights have always been ripped! I never remember seeing Ali, Tyson, or Holyfield with jelly roles. One of the many reasons the Klitschko brothers are dominating the sport is the phenomenal shape they are in compared to all these muffin-top fighters.
