    Yet Dimentrinko was favored to beat Chambers and many considered him to be one the top prospects in boxing.

    That's BS and you know that. Chambers would beat Povetkin 9 out of 10 times. Chambers was just used to fighting at a very low work rate and mentally fazed out for some reason. He's improved since the loss by getting in shape and throwing more punches.

    its all speculative really, all we do know that isn't speculation is the Povetkin and Chambers did fight and Povetkin DID WIN. Its hard to argue more than that, other than saying, this fighter would win against this fighter and so on....

    That's true but to say Povetkin would beat Chambers 10 out of 10 times is ridiculous. For sure though Chambers defense is much better than Povetkin. Also Chambers schooled Povetkin for four straight rounds until he become predictable. You know Chambers can beat Povetkin in a rematch, I would go as far and say that Chambers is capable of knocking out Povetkin in a rematch.

    Povetkin would always give Chambers a lot of problems. He's very active, durable and aggressive. Chambers will never have a big workrate so Povetkin will rack up some rounds. However, a more mobile and active Chambers could make it much more interesting and would have a decent chance against Povetkin. I'd still favor Povetkin slightly in a rematch. Both are top 5 hws and the best contenders left to challenge Wlad. Dimitrenko is pretty much **** though. I picked Chambers as soon as I knew he was under 215. Anyone who saw Dimitrenko knew he has very little power, employs a papermache defense and couldn't take a good punch.

    Chambers is very skilled, savvy and durable. He would KO Haye and make Arreola look like a buffoon.

    That being said, Wlad will curbstomp Chambers.

    Agree with this.

    Chambers is a very skilled fighter but he is always gonna be a risk assessor rather than a risk taker. Too much thinking can lead to you not letting your hands go enough, not enough thinking can get you knocked out.

    Chambers is the former.
