    This. :good

    Plus he lasted 11 rounds with Wlad without getting melted...of course he got melted in the 12th...but still.

    Very good match up, I'd personally pick Solis by close decision.

    I wouldn't pay to see Solis. I don't know what happen to him leading up to and during his fight with Vitali but he was pathetic from begining to end.

    I'd pay to see Chambers though :good

    Given Solis's last performance (in and out of the ring) I'd bet Eddie by stoppage :hat

    I pick Solis. I don't think highly of either of these guys, but Solis has more skills than Chambers. Chambers has somehow fooled people into thinking he is skilled. He's not. He's just got a quick one two. That's it. That's his list of skills right there. I guess if you want you could count his ******ed lean back defense as a skill too, but against anyone with half a boxing brain (which I concede is a rare trait among the modern heavyweight) that is actually a weakness.
    Solis is woefully out of shape, but it's not like Chambers is some sort of gym rat either. Solis can sneak in some good punches, his timing is decent. I think he'd break down Chambers, who is a notorious coaster; meaning he does barely enough to stay in a fight.
    If Chambers had footwork, I'd pick him but his feet are just as bad, if not worse then Mr Spongebob's cement brick feet.
    Solis wins in snoozefest.

    Leaning towards Chambers by decision but only marginally so.

    Solis by dominant decision. I just don't think many can challenge him if he's under 250 and his knees hold up, other than the Kbros and maybe Haye.

    How did he avoid Wlad for 11.5 rounds if he has no skills?

    Chambers UD. I'm pretty surprised how one sided this poll is for Solis.

    he lost every round. ...and it's not like Wlad has a killer instinct to chase people down and finish them quickly.

    chambers. though he should try and slim down and see if he can't dominate cruiserweight.
