Yep, but before Bowe's jab took away his punch resistance.....he was never the same after that fight. Bowe was quality, quality, quality. Such a shame he and Lennox never fought as professionals.

At six foot six I’m just not sure he could lose that weight and still be strong. I always thought Herbie Hide should have gone down to cruiserweight as I think he would have cleared up. Britain’s possibly best ever cruiser would have been Henry Cooper. Of course the cruiserweight division was not around back then but that would of been his weight class. Just think, if he could floor Ali what he would have done to any cruiser? Didn’t believe he is 6ft 6. Google’s it and he is. He needs to stop stooping down and use his height and reach.

I remember that fight I always felt that once Seldon got hit he didn't fancy it not that I blame him. The other thing I just noticed is how small they both were. Tyson was 5.10 and Seldon seemed around that. Against today's giants they would look really odd.
One more point |

In my opinion there are only two or three fighters in history who beat prime Tyson (pre jail). I see Tyson bobbing and weaving his way in below a long jab. Once inside it would be pure distraction. Tyson was the last time when everyone in the world knew who the world heavyweight champ was as he transcended the sport.

I have to agree with him... Take him v Parker out the equation and would the PPV sales be as strong?? I don’t think so.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

I'm not so sure Chisora was wise to do that at the press conference. I like Chisora but lets get it right. Hearn has made that middling heavyweight a millionaire.....who in any other era would be working the doors after retiring.

In any case, we’re all talking about it, so job done. Not a fan of Chisora, an average boxer imho, not one for me to get excited about.

I think Chisoras biggest enemy in his career has been Derek Chisora himself.... He’s to unpredictable in which Derek Chisora will turn up... He’s taken Fury the distance twice, taken Vitali Klitschko the distance, gone twice with Dillian Whyte and, in my opinion won the 1st fight, knocked out Carlos Takam which few have... He’s had the potential there but mentally hasn’t been able to take the next step. Edited by kennybrowns leftfoot (10 Sep 2019 11.35pm)
