    Obviously you're about as different as a fighter stylistically from Arreola as you could be, but did you learn anything from that fight as a fellow young American heavyweight trying to break into the title picture?


    EC: With Chris, he didn't change anything... I'm pretty sure he worked hard even though he came in at his normal weight. But you can't just eat whatever and drink whatever and then go on back to the gym. That takes away from the overall performance you're going to give that night, regardless of what you may believe or what people may believe. That's going to take away from that. Trust me.

    So my plan would just be to give my best, give my all and stay the course in camp. Make sure I do everything right, do everything, eat right, go to sleep, do all the things I should do. Then when I get into the ring with him, just stick to the game plan. And the game plan would be that you cannot, I repeat, cannot stand and watch these guys fight. And that's what a lot of these people do! They are shorter guys most of the time that fight the Klitschko brothers and they just stand and watch them punch, and think they are going to take a few to give a few. Not gonna happen.

    Not against these guys.


    EC: Exactly. If you take a few from them, that may be your last few. You don't want to do that. So you have to find a way to be like a fly. You know, you swing at a fly, you miss and the next thing you know you're dead tired and you're frustrated. That's the kind of thing, that frustration, that I want them to go through. I want them to be so tired that they basically just give up.

    That's what basically happened when Vitali fought Chris Byrd, he basically got tired of swinging and missing. Even though he was winning the fight for the most part, he got tired of swinging and missing... it's frustrating! Same thing when I fought Dimitrenko. He would throw these punches and be like why can't I nail him with this shot? Why can't I figure this out and how is he hitting me? Just making him feel really uncomfortable and really unsettled... then they start to panic, then they don't know what to do... and that's in any sport.

    That's what I intend to put these guys through, a serious meat grinder. Now I'm not saying I'm going to go in there and knock them out, I'm not gonna run my mouth and do all these kinds of things. But what I am going to do is frustrate them, make them uncomfortable and make them not want to be in the ring anymore.

    Hey, he has to make a buzz for himself. No biggie. Terrific fighter and I think the best all-around HW contender. Most deserving of a shot.

    Actually, thinking about it again I refuse to doubt him. He brutalized dimentrenko which i did not think he could do. And know the Klits are not Dimentrenko but still I won't doubt him.

    Fair play to him if he can even look like he has a chance for a while against Wlad. I thought Chagaev had a chance, but like Eddie says, he just stood there and watched him box.

    Eddie sounds much more realistic than all those fighters who said "you just have to put pressure on Wlad and he folds" and then found out that it's not that easy. Fast Eddie acknowledges the real possibility of getting his ass kicked, which is a good thing. Confidence is so often mistaken for fostering some kind of delusion that the opponent is weak. I remember Rahman saying after he beat Lewis that before that fight he felt for the first time in his career that he would lose if he didn't come up with the absolute best fight possible.

    i can't see any heavy in the world beating either klitschko right now.it sucks,not because i hate either guy just because the heavyweight division is completely devoid of competition.the only real fight that exists is wlad vs vitali and that ain't gonna happen.both guys in their own ways are too good for any heavy out there right now.i hope i'm proven wrong

    It's good he realizes about "watching them fight" thing, but it took him to watch Povetkin beat his ass to get there!!!!

    Anyways, good luck to Slow Eddie, I hope he pulls it off!!!!!!!

    The most deserving of a shot is Povetkin but he doesn't seem to want it. I agree though, Chambers is the best American Heavy at the moment and he deserves a chance as much as anyone else.
