    He obviously lacks power too.

    He also lacks skill.
    Bad footwork. A defense that is based on leaning back. Offenses that is not much more than a basic 1-2. His conditioning is bad too. He coasts during most of his fight.

    His thing is that hes a bit faster then people that are really slow.

    I will say that his fight with Ademek, actually had him showcasing more skill than normal. The loss of his left hand made him have to adapt in way I would not thought he could have.

    He should move down to cruiser and be dominant there. He could beat all of them.

    Chambers is indeed skilled if compared to most heavyweights. He gave Adamek all he could handle with one hand and I would choose him in rematch against Povetkin. And there is no need to even compare him to guys like Helenius or Wach.

    Chambers is the most skilled heavy, common consensus is it not? Solis might be close.

    He is not even close to the skill level of Wladimir.

    I love Chamber's style, you don't really see HW's with that type of Defensive game plan. I enjoyed watching him school Adamek with one arm.

    He weighed 202 lbs against Adamek wouldn't he be better of fighting at Cruiserweight where he could potentially win titles?

    I know most people say heavyweights make more as it is a bigger division but wouldn't he make more as Cruiserweight champion than he would a Heavyweight contender?
