its all rehearsed, as in they've told derrick that one(simon jordan) was going to say bad things and the other would say good things. use your brain

[@Chris_Andre_Boxing]

He's not talking sense at all. "world level" means world class, e.g top 15. He's got wins on his record against top 15 fighters, e.g Takam, Scott (at the time was undefeated and highly ranked). Many thought he won the fight Whyte fight, then was winning the second fight before he unfairly had a point deducted and lost his mind. He got impatient and got caught late on. Simon Jordan couldn't name 15 hw boxers let alone decide on whether Del is world level

[@joewhite22]

I don't mind Jordan even if he does like the sound of his own voice. This show is like a good cop/bad cop routine. You have Jim White kissing everybody's arse, so it's nice to have Simon there to counter it being honest and not caring about upsetting people.

[@joewhite22]

At the end of the day I'd rather have a third fight than Whyte not fighting anyone, but I kind of agree with Simon, I'd rather see a different fight. Chisora lost twice already and is clearly at a level below Whyte. It doesn't matter that people think he was winning the fights, he still lost them.

So Simon must think that Loma isn't "world level" because he lost to Lopez? Derek nearly got a draw with Usyk, he is definitely world level but all world level fighters win and lose. They don't all win, all the time like Simon is somehow suggesting here. Just because Chisora lost fights, most of his losses (other than the KO losses) were either Split Decision or Majority Decision, which means that different judges would have had him winning those fights.

I have watched a lot of chisora fights, I went to his fight with Haye.. Respect to him because for the level he has been at he has always managed to get into positions that pay him well,. I remember when it was announced he was fighting Vitali Klitschko, I had never heard of him.. Back then there was a real shortage of heavyweights around, the klitchkos ruled the division easily for a decade, the division was a joke, there was no one good around, he has upped his game and stayed in the game a long time but he’s on the “final circuit” now looking for his last few pay days, there is no point in dillian proving he can beat chisora again, the whole point in boxing is to progress and move up the ranks, this would not help him progress at all, it could actually send him backwards.. Chisoras 2nd fight with Fury was hands down the worst fight I have ever seen by miles, the ref kept having to jump in and tell them to fight..

The first Whyte fight could've gone either way, the second fight Chisora was winning and got caught late on. He's proven he can hang with top HWs. Taking on Whyte so quickly after the Usyk fight is a very bad idea though, he'd have to recover from damage that he's had from Usyk himself, then he has to try and peak physically again in a very short space of time. It's very hard.
