    Heard him on the radio on thursday. Seemed like a nice straight talking guy.

    It was nice to hear him acknowledge what Haye has done for the heavyweights profiles.

    He said he would be giving it a genuine shot and I think he will.

    It's a shame Brock had to retire because of his eye injury. He performed quite well for the first few rounds against Dr. Steelhammer, and lost a 'very' close fight to Chambers. I'm not a huge Brock fan, but he was a fairly high-ranking American heavyweight and had good skill. All in all though, the level of his competition was fairly atrocious.

    How? Wlad is clearly the superior technical fighter and the quicker of the two brothers. If we are talking about Chambers lacking power, he isn't going to crack either chin. Therefore, he'd have a far, far better chance with Vitali.

    Chambers is fast, but hasn't got the reach or the size. I think Wlad will beat him...

    I think Wilder as potential, but it's WAY to early to really know.

    Chambers is the only guy who has any chance, and its not a great one. It ouwldnt be so bad if Kingpin hadnt made such a fool of himself with his boasts before the fight, then stepped out and "fought" the way he did. Arreola kept trying to fight at least despite being outclassed.

    Chambers is made to order for Vitali or Vlad.
