Comments Thread For: Derek Chisora Approached To Fight Wladimir Klitschko

[Lacrimosa]

im sorry but giving chisora a title shot is pretty weak....tua is his #2 & has no date scheduled.mormeck turned the fight down because he felt he wasn't being paid enough.i said a few weeks ago that mormeck has rich people backing him & he still wants the fight but in france in march or april.his team is going to offer wlad a very nice proposal from what i understand.mormeck is NOT ducking him & wlad said he is very interested in fighting in france so that fight will be in 2011.tua is the most viable opponent with the highest ranking.thats a nice name to add to his resume.

+1 although Wlad needs some NAMES, I think Chisora would be a tougher (if such exist right now for Wlad) fighter than Tua right now... He clearly doesn`t have Tuas` power, but he looks more aggressive and mobile. Boytsov and Solis would also be good fights...

Chisora is Britain's second best Heavyweight, he would knock Audley out without breaking a sweat. I would prefer to see Chisora vs Wlad rather then Tua vs Wlad.

There's more a chance of Chisora biting Wlad and having the fight end as a DQ than him actually winning.

This fight is too early for Chisora. He needs to work his way up the field first and gain experience for another couple of years before he should contemplate getting in the ring with Wladimir. He'd be fodder for a Klitschko at the moment, game fodder, and it'd be bad for his health.

He has potential but he's got a lot to learn, still.

Silly fight in my opinion Chrisora needs to concentrate on getting experience, he should focus on getting the European belt first and at-least defend it once.

I could think of a few others Wlad could fight: Denis Boytsov, Odlanier Solis, Francesco Pianeta, Oleh Platov, Alexander Ustinov all would sell well in Germany.

Its a bit like the haye vs harrison fight pointless apart from money!!!

[Davros?]

I would rather see Chisora fight for the Euro belt first and maybe make a defence before looking at a world title fight.

id like to see chisora vs povetkin,, neither fighter is ready for either klitcko at this point in their career,but it would be a great fight, and the winner would be one step closer to a world title fight..

I agree with what you say, but being one step closer to the world title fight isnt a bonus...they both could fight for the title right now. Fighting eachother puts one fighter in the same position and the other moves far back.

Wlad and Vitali are trying to do what any fighter in his mid and late 30's should do. Fight guys with potential to be champions. How great would Ali be considered if before retiring he beat Holmes, or Louis if he would have come back and beat Marciano etc...The Klitschko's are realists they know one day they will be gone from boxing, and there will be a new HW champ...so while they cant beat guys who are considered ATG (because they dont exist), they may be able to beat guys who can eventually fight ATG's and become an ATG.

I really like Chisora, but he is no way ready to step up Klitschko level.
He's definately the number one domestically, and should be looking to clean up the euro division.

Give him another 5/6 fights, then maybe put him in with someone like Chageav or Povetkin, maybe even Adamak if he hasn't had a shot at the Klits by then.

I dont get people hating on Wlad, dude has a PhD outside the ring and is one of the smartest boxers in the world. Dude is always nice to his opponents and takes care of them and doesnt resort to **** talk to hype up fights or bring down his opponents. He is staying very active and instead of ducking people he is sending out letters to all the HW offering them a fight with him, more people need to look up to him about the way he is taking care of business. He was mean to David Haye but that was warranted because of the way Haye keeps ducking the brothers and talking crap outside the ring. If you ever look at how Wlad treats his opponents after he wins he always goes and talks to them to make sure they are okay and never talks crap about them at the post fight interview and gives them their props for stepping into the ring with them.

There is not a whole lot of guys out there who want to face the brothers and they are trying to fight anyone they can while staying busy. Then the other fighters complain they dont have the experience and dont want to fight they brothers. We'll its their fault that they fight once a year and expect to be the top dogs.

I hope someone like Boytsov, Haye, Povetkin mans up and faces Wlad. Im liking their stay at the top, couldnt have asked for two better champs both inside and outside the ring.
