Wlad knocked the **** out of him..i felt bad for ol boi but he gets the big paydays cuz he fights the best i guess... Anyways i dont think will be anything more than another contender in a weak hw division unless the klitchkos retire..nobody in boxing is beating either brother...haye stands the best chance and even he'll get knocked in the 9th or 10th by both
Why do people want him to go to cruiser? I mean cruiser's get no exposure, no love whatsoever. He will make more money in the HW division, and there really isn't anybody else out there who could Ice him like that other than Vlad.
How is Chambers non-competitive? He's a legit top 5 contender at the moment. He'll never be competitive with the Klitschkos, but neither is anyone else at HW. There are a lot of other guys in the division whom Chambers can outbox easily.
I was there in the ring... he was breathing.. although labored he was breathing... also his body was over the ropes with may have hindered the air, but he was moving ...kinda
Agreed. At cruiser he'd be far more likely to win a title, but even with a CW belt, he's probably not gonna make the $$$ he would as a top HW contender. And, he can probably beat some of the guys that are nearer his size - or, as the Dimmetrenko fight showed, some of the lesser talented Super-heavies. Just not the Klitschkos. If this fight proved one thing, it showed just HOW much better the Klits are than the other giants around today.
It's sad what happened to him, but I disagree with people who say he wasn't competitive with Wlad. While you may not be able to land anything clean on Wlad, Chambers DID land some stuff throughout the fight and didn't get hit much throughout. He actually took some rounds from Wlad which is hard to do. He wasn't going to win it, and you could give him 3 rounds being generous, but still. That's an accomplishment for a guy outweighed by 30+ lbs. IMO he could give Vitali a better fighter and possibly, just possibly pull an upset. I haven't given up on Chambers!!!
:good Exactly, I think these fights and the Klit fight showed he belongs at the highest echelon although he cannot beat Wlad. He showed some good skills against Wlad too and Wlad's post-fight comments seemed as though he was impressed with Eddie.
