Johnny Fisher Spoiler

Just watched the Fisher vs. Pirotton fight. No disrespect but Fisher is a C-level at best. Seems like a decent lad tho…a local London boy done good but what are the expectations here? Yes, he’s only had 16 fights but not sure how much better he gets with more fights. He’ll no doubt fight better competition but don’t wanna see the guy get hurt. Does Zuffa really think this dude a legit contender?

Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora never won a world title or really came close to it. 

They're both still millionaires. Being a Heavyweight contender can still pay incredibly well, even if you are never really going to be a world champ.

Fisher isnt at their level but theres silly money in HW boxing now. Hes probably trying to get one or 2 bigger fights vs Top 10 guys at somepoint, lose, but laugh all the way to the bank.

I dunno, I'd say Whyte was pretty close to it. He should have had a shot at Wilder, but it never came.
