    What's happening with him? No fight since September, dude should be in with Joshua in ny view. A fight with Whyte would be good.

    I think Chambers is stuck now because he's the ultimate high risk low reward guy. He doesn't have any rankings, isn't a draw, and is thought of as past his prime, so there' no real reason to fight him. Add to that the fact everyone knows he's still really dangerous. He has a nasty habit of winning as an underdog.

    I don't think Joshua's team would consider a fight against him. I hope he does get some more big fights though, I suspect he's still top 15 h2h, though I don't really rank him right now because of inactivity against decent comp.

    Division has passed him by. He surprised a lot of people by winning the first four rounds against Povetkin and beating Peter. Subsequently his career stalled at heavy and crusier, and he is just not the physical equal of guys like Fury, re-tooled Povetkin and Joshua.

    Could probably still beat Wilder, though.

    Don't think so, he's back in the U.S. now, at least Peter kept him active.
     
  6. Against a bunch of complete and utter bums.

    They didn't move his career forward in any significant manner.

    There's a rumor that went around that H.Fury KO'd him badly in sparring. Wonder if it's true or not.

    Too short to be a heavyweight, 6'0 is the height of a Super Middleweight not a Heavyweight; he's giving up 3/4 inches on most guys.

    I hope a Whyte fight can happen, EC is still a slick dude with an excellent resume.

    This is true mate, as is Tyson flatlining Takam behind closed doors. Eddie used to get bullied by the Fury's.

    Exactly, Takam has a good beard too.
