Comments Thread For: Hearn Defends Derek Chisora Matchmaking Criticism

[Knuckle sandwich]

I'm not going to begrudge Del another payday, he's been entertaining, plus he almost beat usyk on points lol

Hearn will keep wheeling Chisora out as long as he can sell tickets. I’ve been a Del Boy fan for years but he needs to hang ‘em up. I really didn’t like what I saw in the Parker rematch.

Dereck has been my favorite fighter for about a decade now. I don't mind him continuing on but I think he needs to be matched properly and I'm not sure Pulev is the best opponent.

Kownacki would be good, anyone who thinks that's a mismatch hasn't seen the Pole's defense (which consists of absorbing shots directly on the front of his skull). Wouldn't mind seeing Del smack Babic around for a few minutes either. Lucas Browne would be another solid matchup (that win says more about Fa than it does about Lucas).

For a 12 loss heavyweight to continue to get headlines shows a sad state of affairs for the division.

nahh not really ..

Chisora will fight anybody . that's commendable in an era where all these top guys are ducking each other

Nobody wants to see that. There are many interesting fights for Chisora, like Kownacki, Arreola, Rice, Helenius rematch, Bryan, Ortiz, Martin..

you wanna see Chisora die

So I see some guys here complaining about Chisora getting chances despite 12 losses.

Look it that way. Parker wants nobody dangerous, but he actually lost to Chisora in the first fight. The most of other guys are fighting easy touches.

Chisora takes all the fights he can get.

1. Parker is shot too
2. Chisora didn't win that fight
3. Parker ****** even before he was shot

I agree and it's sad, he's putting his bottom line ahead of Chisora's health. These beatings he's taking are taking their toll on his brain, may not see it now but in 10 years? I like Del Boy too he's a fighter for sure but sometimes you gotta save a man from himself. Even if he'll continue elsewhere Hearn has gotta wash his hands rather than keep trotting Chisora out there.

Not correct. Many top fighters have fought and are fighting each other. Joshua, Usyk, Wilder, Fury, Parker, Ruiz, Ortiz, Joyce, Whyte, DuBois, have all fought one of more of the fighters on this list. The only top fight left that hasn't happened is Joshua vs Fury and it may still happen if Joshua wins the rematch against Usyk. Chisora has no choice but to fight anybody, he is not the A side of anything; beggars can't be choosers. But saying all the top fighters are ducking each other is pure BS.
