Chambers/Thompson is called off

I do not concur that they are the two best. What big fights has either won since their respective losses?

 

I read that Thompson believes that Chambers knew he had a problem but didn't inform in time for the cancellation

 

Well, Chambers won an unnecessary rematch over a guy he comprehensively beat years earlier, but who'd gotten himself highly ranked (although he didn't look his best in doing so).

Thompson cleaned out a handful of fringe contenders and for the most part looked decent against them.

Resume aside - in h2h ability, they both have to be seen as right up there...no more than a couple of spaces removed from K2 (although K2 pretty much batters anyone behind them, including these two).

 

Chambers is a competitor. He wouldn't back out for no good reason. He knows what's at stake. Get off his (lower) back, man. He'll return and kick Thompson's ass.

 

Chambers should just forget about Thompson and fight Povetkin. The winner should fight Wladimir.
