Comments Thread For: Chisora: Scott Tougher Than Wilder, But I'll Beat Him Up

[Lorily]

About 10 years ago I thought Scott was going to be a star in the division but his career didn't really go anywhere.

Since his return (anyone know why he was off for 3+ years?) he's fought better than ever.

I'd have him favourite of Del Boy.

He injured his bicep. Actually, I think he injured it a couple of times and he was getting burned out on all the waiting he had to do while healing.

I'll admit that I didn't know anything about him before I saw his comback fight last year, but I was impressed. I actually started a thread about him after that fight, but I was so pissed about the Campillo/Cloud robbery fight that was on after Scotts fight, that I threw a fit and deleted the post.

I'd love to see this fight, does anybody know if they're televising it in the U.S.?

Malik Scott is the most negative, boring heavyweight alive. He makes Wladimir's most boring fight look like the pinnacle of excitement. But I guess since he's an American that's OK.

I hope Del Boy gets rid of this guy in style.

Don't know is Malik Scott is tougher than Wilder, but Scott is the greater boxer with better overall skills than the DWilder... with the one exception being power. Much respect to Chisora for taking tough fight after tough fight, even if they are replacements. I like to make fun of the UK fighters but boxing needs more guys willing to risk their records like DelBoy instead of padding their stats pansies. I think Malik will box circles around Chisora but Scotts style is not very entertaining as he hardly sits down on his shots. Wouldn't be surprised with a Draw.

See I am with you, I believed in Malik about a decade ago, and he's been selling his wolf tickets ever since. He took 3 years off for no reason as far as I can tell, I am unsure why honestly.

I also think Chisora is quality and had a bad run of it lately, he might be the type of style to take Scott out. This is a good solid fight, for both guys, Scott has finally stepped up and it only took him 10 years. I am honestly rooting for Chisora, but I think Scott can outbox him. Del Boy isn't disciplined enough to fight the fight he needs to for the duration, the question is, can Scott?

Chisora's reputation is built on losses, not wins.

He'll enhance his reputation with another gutty loss here, but he's slowing down fast.
