    Povetkin and Arreola head the prospect class at the minute, he is not overhyped he really is the best for the amount of fights he has had as a pro. He is facing ex world champs that are still live already.. Byrd was champ a couple of years ago and Povetkin was fighting on his undercard when he faced Wlad.. Alex has been stepping up his level at a rediculous rate.. Audley is way behind Povetkin yet was Olympic superheavy champ at an Olympics four years prior to Povetkins games..

    Alex is worthy of his hype and will probably turn out to be the pick of the bunch.. Chambers is good , but he needs to rise his oppo level to compete with Povetkins .. The Chambers v Povetkin event will put things into perspective more.. If you think the gig on Povetkin is nonsense , you will soon realise how deceptive he is.. I rate him highly.

    Why ?? I have taken a fighter to his back yard to fight him and thought we had his number, when really he completely had his A-game in place for us.. Alex is a very complete pro , largely because of his long amateur schooling .. he has been facing the best in the world for 10 years before he turned pro..

    God bless.

    This fat middleweight need to move down in weight just like his hands fast, because he will get badly koed by a good big hevyweight.

    I was pretty impressed with Chambers. His hand speed is unreal for a HW. He can pretty much touch any HW out there because of it. I don't like the fact that he stands right in front of you and takes shots. If he did that against Wlad, he will get KOed within a few rounds.

    But he has potential. You can't teach hand speed like that. And speed can make a big difference. If he gets into great shape, who knows.

    But i definitely would like to see him fight again just based on his incredibly fast hands.

    His handspeed is incredible.. He reminds me a little of the way Mike Dokes used to.. fair power and decent chin but hands that just blurrr...

    Very hard to beat in a fast paced bout.. his skills are top rate..

    Yeah, i didn't even know about the guy up until the Brock fight. But as soon as the 1st round was over, i was shocked by his hand speed.

    And how about that stupid ass decision? It wasn't even that close. Just goes to show how incompetent some of the judges are. Why is it that all of the judges are like 80 years old? We need to get judges who can actually see 10 feet in front of them.

    I thought they were going to give the decision to Brock. And they almost did.

    Chambers was a good amateur himself but didnt pursue the amateur accolades:nono He turned Pro and began building his career for the PRO Game. Pretty much all criticism has been heard, but when the bell rings? Opponents find much more difficult than it sounded.

    Chambers has skill, is faster, is stronger, and his skills will show more against another boxer like Povetkin.

    Byrd's older than dinosaurs,:)lol:), and Fraudley isnt worth mentioning.

    I've seen the Brock fight, I don't give Chambers much chance against Povetkin.

    Fast Eddie better be ready for Poev. That's a really good matchup IMO.

    Bull****. Fat is Fat. No excuse for it. He needs to do more roadwork or he will be carried from the ring on a strecher.

    In addition to fat, he is featherfisted. No power.

    Can't wait for Klitschko or some other Euro heavy to knock Chambers ***** tits off!

    Good list. Note Euro heavies are in better shape.

    :lol:

    OK.

    Like I said he's always looked like that. He's never had a problem going 12 and has done it enough to merit decent stamina.

    EXCUSE ME FOR NOT NOTICING THE ABS ON POVETKIN:lol:

    I agree with this. No one ever mentions Mesi but he is no easy out for Chambers, Arreola, Thompson, any of them
