Comments Thread For: Chisora: When Parker Steps Up - He Chokes! He'll Run From Me!

Meh.

This will be a decent appetizer to the main event title unification.

Parker fighting this stiff is not exactly a step up!

Exactly what I was thinking lol.

That Head to Head video interview the quotes were lifted from is well worth watching.

The subtle menace and barely concealed animosity made for a great piece and well compared too.

Cant wait to see what delboys got lined up for the weigh in presser.

I imagine it will involve a kangaroo!

Chisora seems to be acting like a bit of a bellend again after it seemed like he'd rehabilitated himself for a while. Parker will likely be too good for him.

I like Chisora but...

How is Parker 'stepping up'?

Parker has already won a World title, Chisora has failed spectacularly in his attempts...

I don't know, maybe it has to do with the fact that Chisora's chance at a world title was against Vitali Klitschko when Parker's was against Ruiz. What do you think?

Chisora gave Whyte 2 tougher fights than Parker did. Chisora knocked Takam out when he could only get a close decision.

[Sid-Knee]

Parker only lost to AJ that DW fight with the headbutt knockdown changed a 10-9 for Parker to a 10-8 for Whyte. That fight would have been a draw at worst for Parker without that plus it affected the immediate rounds after that Dillian won. Anyway Chisora is not a step up. Parker will stop him late. I've never seen a guy with 9 losses act like this. Like he is in the top tier of heavyweights when he's prob not even 2nd tier. Prob top 3rd tier lol

Chisora's losses have come against the very best. Not many fighters would still be around having to go through that lot for the past 10 years. And mostly, Chisora gave them a tough, hard fight.

Apart from 2 close fights with Ruiz and Takam in which Parker won, Parker has lost when stepping up to the best in AJ and Whyte. Chisora at worst here can lose a close decision because that's the best it's going to get for Parker. At best, Chisora brings too much pressure that renders Parker incapable to cope and sees him getting ground down and stopped late when he's tired like he's prone to doing late in fights. Which way it goes, we'll soon find out. But whatever the outcome for Parker, it's going to be hard going for him where he's going to have to put it all on the line to sc**** by a close win. Nothing will be anywhere near easy for him. The past has proven that. They'll be no difference here either.

When Chisora, who has never beaten anyone of note and lost every single time he stepped up, accuses Parker of choking when he steps us, it makes me chuckle.

Chisora dominated a prime Helenious when he was wreaking people only to be ripped off in one of the biggest robberies you'll ever see. Vitali acknowledged it which is why he gave Chisora the shot at the title. Chisora would then go on and give Vitali his second toughest fight in his career after the Lewis fight. Not bad if you ask me. And not lets forget a past his best Chisora giving Whyte who was in his prime two close tough fights. Also, the knock out win over a solid and very decent Takam.

Chisora's resume is better than Wilder's. And Chisora has actually fought the very best, unlike the coward that is Wilder.

I don't mind Chisora's trash talk, but..it has to make sense to be effective. He's just waffling here.

Parker hasn't taken a backwards step to anyone in his career. And there's irony in Del Boy talking about stepping up, when he's the poster boy for falling short.

No argument when it comes to Chisora's opponents compared to Wilder. But I will have to disagree with you on Klitschko fight:

-firstly, Klitschko sustained an injury in the 3rd round
- scorecards: 118-110, 118-110 and 119-111. I could stop there, really..
- Klitschko was 40
- I wouldn't equate Chisora's aggression and activity throughout the fight with toughness for Klitschko.Tough fight is when your opponent scores some rounds, when your opponent creates dangerous moments for you, when there is some mystery as to the outcome. Jeesus, Yarde was a tougher fight for Kovalev than Chisora for Klitschko. Klitschko had been so much above everyone else that the only boxer, who made it tough for him was Lewis. Chisora's only credit here is survival for 12 rounds. Chisora is tough and corageous, but that does not mean he is getting the edge, he was a courageous punching bag with big mouth to Klitschko. That's all there is to it.

I like Chisora, but Parker probably wins this. Parker did a lot of running against Ruiz, but he also timed and caught a chasing Ruiz on occasion, with some big punches. He doesn't have the motor Ruiz has, but he's not scared either, and he does load up when he decides to throw.

I think with those tactics he will end up catching Chisora chasing him and hurt him.

Chisora though, this guy will fight anyone, talk trash, and try to back it up. LoL, he's a great journeyman.

PS c- Chisora IS still capable of catching Parker. He could surprise.
