    Is Dereck Chisora even European level?

    I like Del Boy but the numbers don’t lie:

    1-4 in European title fights.

    0-7 against former/current/future European champion’s.

    His only win came against Edmund Gerber.

    Fair as ****.

    Do you get points for fighting even if you lose though?


    Some guys in the top ten have no losses against other top ten because they've never fought them.


    Also, are WBA International and WBO Inter-Continental titles below, equal, or above EBU titles?

      I suppose he has to get some credit, the loss against Helenius for example a lot of people thought he won and he wasn’t way out of his depth or anything against Pulev and Kabayel, those fights were competitive.

      One thing I’ll always give Del is he genuinely will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. As long as you give him the money he wants, he’ll fight.

      I’d say their way below man, I mean literally anyone can fight for those intercontinental things.

        He's a lower end gatekeeper who usually ends up in entertaining fights.

          He is fringe world level.

            He will probably always come up short against the top guys in the division but for the ones that are right below he is capable of beating them if they take him lightly as he has come close multiple times throughout his career.

            In a way you could almost say he is a cherry pick that you have to take seriously and actually train for.

              On what basis though?

                He is rated in the top 10 heavyweights in world by all the alphabet organizations but he shouldn't be rated that high off his record and many losses.

                  But he's also beaten Kingping, Pala, Scott, Szpilka, Takam and Price. Should have beaten Helenius and took Whyte to the brink twice. If anything Del Boy is underrated to me. Gets a bad rep for one fight where he showed up unmotivated against Kabayel in front of a bunch of suits in a Monaco ballroom. Only Fury, Vitali and Haye have really beat the man convincingly.
