    Your avatar made me laugh. Ironic having 46-0 in the text, then a picture of Manfredo, kind of sums up Calzaghe's low level of comp that got him that record.

    Seen him train fairly recently and I'll say he's never looked so sharp. I don't know if it's enough to beat Klitschko but I've never seen a HW punch as fast as Fast Eddie has.

    Dunno what his game plan is, I expect him to use a lot of angles.

    Nice article. Although Chambers doesn't have the best style to beat Klitschko, his career has never had more momentum and he looked very good against Dimitrenko in his last outing. Looking forward to this fight.

    Sure. Unlike most other fights where the sparring partner of Boxer A go on record to say that he has no power at all... :roll:

    Chambers has a 50% knockout rate and in the heavies that IS below average. Now it could be that he fought an uncanny share of iron chinned opposition, but I'd still bet my money on him being of mediocre power. Which doesn't mean much, as Wladimir Klitschko matches that with a mediocre chin.

    He doesn't have a lot of KO wins because the majority of his career his work-rate has always been low. If Chambers work-rate was higher he would have a higher KO %.

    He's just a sparring partner, but Chambers is hurting guy's that are 7 foot says something about his power.

    Not if he's doing it KJ style, but I agree with your statement!

    Correct, that 7 foot sparring partner has lost 17 times as a pro, 13 of those coming by way of a KO. Height does not equal skill.

    Klit marches on.Another easy defense against a safety first opponent who talks a big stick until he gets into the ring.

    Yeah i'm sure that working with former BALCO head Victor Conte is really helping him

    lol at the article comparing Chambers chances and punch to that of Dempsey and Louis, the writer is a clown.
