    It was still a very good win, and one that Chambers deserves credit for. That said however, I still don't think it supports the broad generalization that size means nothing.

    SuzieQ once claimed she WILL NEVER EVER give any Euro credit no matter what they do....something tells me that line of thinking is what caused HER to start this thread....

    She is more comfy when the champs have last names like..Johnson,Smith,Jones,,etc..

    If a fighter is a smaller Heavyweight he should not try to blow up or not train to make weight...everyone has a perfect weight, where they are completly fit....Chambers was lacking sharpness and stamina in the past after a couple of rds...He dropped 15 and showed late power. I think that Rahman, Tua,Johnson, Peter, Areola, Briggs and are all 30-40 lbs overweight..James Toney should weigh 205-210...when you can look at a fighter and see he is fat..somethings wrong...Heavyweights should make weight also, not officially but they should
    consciously
    watch there weight....The Klitschko's are Big men and they come in at 240-250 and they are heavily muscled but at 6"7 they can carry it.

    The fanboy in me forces me to say...

    "If only James Toney could drop some weight..."

    lets be real here dimitrenko is not very strong for a 260lber and is slow handed and very tentative. This result was not a surprise

    Chambers beating Dimitrenko says nothing about how any fight involving Lewis, Vitali, Wlad, Bowe, etc would have panned out

    Toney was fat at 190. His in-shape weight is probably closer to 165-175 tops.....

    well, seeing as Dimitrienko was complete untested, this means jack.

    I mean, did anyone think someone like Walcott would struggle with say, Tye Fields? No, just the 'Elite's'.
