    Could be a decent force at cruiserweight if he had a bit more discipline.

    BS you know Eddie Chambers is a much better boxer than Kevin Johnson and would decisively beat him if they fought. Also Eddie Chambers has a better chance at beating Vitali Klitschko than Kevin Johnson does.

    I like Fast Eddie, and I was thrilled by his last win. He has very good technical skills and has learned a lot about ring generalship and defense. And his ability to go down to 208 in weight for better speed told us volumes about his dedication.

    BUT

    To be an ATG he needs to clean up the division and hold several ABC belts (plus the Ring belt) for some years. I really can't see that happening for as long as one of the Klitschkos is still in business.

    SORRY.

    I ****ing hate this twat. He whooped my ass twice when I was Ali through career mode on FNR4, then on my second runthrough he gave me a bit of a fit but I beat him on points despite him putting me down twice, and then in the second fight I just battered him and knocked him out.

    Good times. But the ****er is fast though, however I'm only scoring this from Fight Night. I know relatively nothing about him and I'm not gonna bother rating him until the Klitschko fight happens, because honestly what's the point.

    Eddie Chambers has good boxing skills, and I think he's among the top5 HWs out there - he has a bright future ahead of him, but of course he's not an ATG because he beat some decents but not great opposition. Comparing him to Ali is just ridiculous.

    I've watched Chambers-Povetkin, and it wasn't a robbery. It was a close fight with Chambers landing good clean shots in the first half but letting himself get outworked by the busier Povetkin in the second half. I think I had Povetkin up by 1 round, Chambers let that win go, he just wasn't busy enough.

    I think Chambers would beat David Haye, possibly also Povetkin in a rematch. I don't see him beating Vitali and especially Wlad at this point.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA that' pretty funny stuff!! No one wants to give the ATG acclaim to the Klits who have basically wiped out the HW division for 5+ years, so what would make you think Chamber's is an ATG?! Eddie is a top 10 heavyweight, nothing more, nothing less.......

    There's several ATGs Chambers could beat but Ali ain't one of them. I could see him outboxing Foreman, pulverizing Marciano, killing Baer, Patterson, Schmelling, Johanson and Holmes versus Chambers would be interesting since at the time of Larry's peak the heavyweights were populated by tall, flabby, lumbering fighters with relatively low punch rates, good fights and good fighters were few and far between back then. Holmes would probably have another moment of The Truth.:yep
