However, it’s the manner that Fury is dispatching them, the ease that he’s taking them out that is so impressive and what makes me feel that Fury could be the best there is.

On paper this might not be a bad fight. However, Chisora hasn’t fought anyone nearly as good as Danny Williams at this point in Chisora’s career and it would seem like a hasty move for him to be rushed into a fight with a puncher like Williams.
