And I say he's pretty darn good heavyweight. From what I've seen he's going to give Wladimir Klitschko some problems, maybe more if he wins the fight. I believe he has the skills and mental strength to pull off the upset. He's not going to fight Wladimir the same way against Dimitrenko, with his abilities he has some tricks up his sleeve.
I think he has the kind of style taht plays right into Wlad's hands. Maybe if he can bob and waeve a little to get under that jab, he can do some damage. I doubt it tho
Chambers won't be able to maneuver himself around Klitschko's long arms. Wlad has an amazing slow game, and he's not afraid to hang back and make things boring for a while.
Chagev doesn't have Mike Tyson like bobbing and weaving. Wladimir has yet to fight somebody with those type of defensive skills. Yeah he beat Chris Byrd but his physical attributes were not heavyweight level, and Ibragimov who had a draw against Ray Austin.
He should have fought the other klitschko instead of KJ, might have made a fight out of it. I think he's got the proper amount of respect for the klits, and the belief in his own abilities to make a fight interesting.
I agree. As far as actually having the experience necessary and not just physically. Take Arreola, faced McCline and Witherspoon. Chambers faced Povetkin, Peter, Dimitrenko and Brock. They may not have all been world beaters and perhaps not one close to being great but that is far more solid experience as a pro than most of these guys are willing to risk. I didn't think I'd like him when I basically saw him give away the Povetkin fight but he has come into his own mentally and has earned my respect.
I like chambers, i just think some contenders the Klits are facing are still a bit green, Id like to see a re-mach between Chambers-Povetkin 1st, i thnk Eddie will have lerned a lot from that loss and i think he would win the second time round, Chambers is coming off some big wins and upsets, but id prefer it if he waited a year and built his resume up a bit more, still a great mach-up though, Chambers will provide a much sterner test for Wlad than Jhonson did for Vitali
