Who is the worst HW opponent: Shannon Briggs, Audley Harrison or Derek Chisora?

[The Hammer]

That's what i don't understand. People are giving Haye **** for fighting Audley, but Wlad gets a pass for fighting Chisora. It just doesn't make sense.

Yes it does.

Chisora beat Sam Sexton twice. Sexton beat Rogan. Rogan beat old Audley.

Chisora is undefeated, and young and strong at age 26 (Wlad won his first world title at age 24).

Audley is old at age 39 and seemed weak and feeble. And unlike Chisora, he has losses, to taxi drivers (Rogan) and journeymen (Guinn, Sprott).

Chisora is somewhat unproven, but Audley has been proven to be no good every time he's fought a decent journeyman.

Chisora will put up a fight, but poor old Audley could not.

Who's more attractive?
Susan Boyle
Hilary Clinton
Rosie O'Donnell

So he couldn't have picked a better opponent than someone that's only had 14 fights and hasn't even fought at Euro level? Both Chisora and Harrison weren't ranked in the 4 major organisations ratings before they were mentioned for title shots, but Harrison was ranked above Chisora in the EBU rankings.

He's probably fight chisora to prevent another UK SUPERFIGHT

EBU rankings mean even less than sanctioning organization rankings! People like fat old Paolo Vidoz have been ranked #1 by the EBU. Harrison was not ranked by any sanctioning organization before the fight was signed.

A win over Michael Sprott, who has lost to people like Bidenko (who was destroyed by Helenius and Boytsov), means little.

Sexton was ranked by the WBO and was #14 on BoxRec and #16 IBO based on his wins over Martin Rogan, who by the way defeated Audley Harrison.

Chisora is clearly a better, more dangerous opponent than Harrison - if you cannot see that, you must be blinded by your love for David Haye.

Audley by quite a bit.

Wlad is fighting Chiosra hoping Chisora's PPV selling ability will rub off on him.

Briggs came out of the Vitaly fight with his reputation enhanced for bravely taking a beating that other cowards wouldn't take. Haye wouldn't match up Chisora in a month of Sundays. Harrison was unranked and undeserving.

What a load of ****e, the Wlad-Chisora fight is just as bad or worse than Haye-Harrison. Atleast with Haye-Harrison there was some interest before they signed, Wlad-Chisora had none at all.

Props to Briggs for standing tall against Vitali. It's unfair to mention his name with the likes of Audley and Chisora.

Chisora is nothing. I thought it was bad when Vitali fought the European champion (Sosnowski) but the British champion???? Man. I realize there is very little competition out there, but couldn't they have dragged out David Tua? Holyfield? Hell, even Dimitrenko?
