    Agreed.

    Chambers is not even 6'1, he is not a natural HW. He wouldn't need to be as big as Wlad, but if he was 6'3, adding up to his reach and wheight as well, in the same proportion, he would be a legit HW and, IMO, would have a good chance at defeating Wlad.

    Chambers does not have the best footwork, but to say he doesn't have good footwork is ignorant. He can use his feet and move around the ring if he needs to, watch his fight against Livin Castillo and Samuel Peter. Watch the first round against Samuel Peter. The point is Chambers will not fight Wlad the same way he did against Dimitrenko.

    Nothing he can do about that, but he's 34-1 with wins over top 10 heavyweights and ranked #4 in the heavyweight division. I would say he's doing something right.

    funny how you claim to be a wlad fan but seem to predict his downfall quite regulary. I remember you saying Wlad was physically declining, etc...Look, Chambers is a good boxer like I've been saying since the Brock fight but Wlad is gonna tear his ass apart. Basically, Chambers can't close the distance since Wlad has quicker feet, the long left and the threat of real ko power. Not too mention, Chambers is a natural counter-puncher. Wlad is on another level right now. The end.

    Eddie is in the second level of boxers with Chagaev and Povetkin who one can rank #3-5. He has the potential to beat everyone else. Moreover, I'd pick him to beat Arreola and ko Haye.

    I hope it's Povetkin CHEF. Watching Atlas' face would be worth the price of admission alone :D

    I think it will be Povetkin. I do know the IBF was not happy about Povetkin maybe wanting more time. You know these organizations, they want the $$$. If This was to be the 1st delay by Povetkin, then I could see the IBF being OK with it, but twice now? NO WAY

    Wlads on vacation, but Ill find out:good

    I think Povetkin wants a tune-up in September and fight Wlad in either late November or December.

    Very very logical.
    Even Floyd Patterson was way overrated. He has a natural speed and skills set advantage over Valuev, but if Nikolay was as fast and skilled as Floyd he would destroy him.

    You'll see that it is when the fight comes off. Wlad is always eyeballing his next scalp, and Chambers is going to be up for his turn soon enough.
