Official: Vitali Klitschko vs Derick Chisora & undercards RbR Discussion Thread

Chisora rose to contender status after beating Robert Helenius, who was handled as the future HW world champion, and certainly has a though chin. What "fans" were saying about Vitali being in the best shape of his life I cannot say, I didn't say such a thing. Chisora winning 3 rounds at max fits to the description "won easily" for me, especially considering that Vitali is 40 years old, and still won on points. And that's not even considering the ongoing rumor Vitali injured his left hand during the early rounds, which I don't know are true or not.Comment

Helenius was being hyped, thats it. That doesn't mean squat until you actually fulfill that potential. As of now that hasn't happened. He had less than 20 fights and had a legitimate injury. If that makes Chisora a top contender it speaks volumes about how bad the division really is.

Sorry, but boxing isn't so cut and dry. Struggling and winning close rounds against a relative novice is very telling of how good you really are.

And there we go again!!!Comment

Vitali is 40 years old.
A lot of great heavyweights have been younger than 40 and lost to worse boxers than Chisora.Comment

A lot of great heavyweights have also had great achievements other than being close to top form at 40 years of age. Vitali doesn't have much else to claim in my opinion.Comment
