There are a ton of good fighters out there unaffiliated, certainly better than this guy, that Chisora coulda fought. But no doubt nothing is changing anytime soon til more people give a f#ck about all the mismatches in boxing & more people with the power to alter things care in particular. Then these types of mismatches will start looking more like the 1930's circus fighting level **** they are.

Chisora probably has the most experience fighting top level comp of any active heavyweight not named Klitschko...

Isn't Chisora more of a part time boxer nowadays? He just wants some easy fights

And? No one is debating Chisora's resume up til this fight. Certainly not me. I just think this was a highly bs opponent that never should have been sanctioned. I blame whoever sanctioned this in Germany & Sauerland for submitting this opponent. I'm not throwing this on Chisora or saying he sucks ass or w/e. I'm a Chisora fan & feel he's a top 20 (or 20ish) type guy who's world class capable, but that doesn't change the fact this was a bs fight that shouldn't have happened & I expect him to be fighting better guys than this.

Not knocking Delboy because he's always been willing to fight anybody, and I certainly wouldn't begrudge him a pay day, but Erdos - a very low level journeyman - had no business at all in the ring with a guy who's acquitted himself well in top competition.

I like him, but damn... get in shape already! He'll never look like Cunningham, but atleast lose this baby fat! And taking so many punches against a 9-9 journeyman, who's looking like a cruiserweight... and 40yrs old, is definitely not 'shining'.

Chisora looks in pretty good nicks by his standards.

Chisora is a good fighter. He has a style where he has to really work physically, but he is young and could even make another run for the top.

Heres the interesting thing about Chisora and why I like him: While everyone has been preoccupied with not losing fights, Derrick has gained experience fighting everyone. The guy has been in relatively close fights with almost all the top guys except maybe Haye, who sparked him relatively early, and Wilder whom he has not yet fought.

meanwhile he has been in with the vitalie, in a close fight, he really beat Hellinius when hellinius was still sharp, etc. Derrick has experience fighting almost any of the top guys. he has been learning and developing. If he can take those lessons and continue to progress I think we may see a new improved Chisora.

Great post, DEEBO! DEEBO!
