I don't see why a Chamber's vs Peter eliminator would be a bad thing. It would be an excellent styles matchup, as it was the first time around, and a rematch vs Wlad for either would make for a good fight. We saw Ali/ Frazier x3, Holy vs Bowe 3 and Lewis Holy x2. Tyson Holy x 2. Wtf, If Potvetkin, Boystov, Dimitrenko, Haye don't want to get their asses handed to them, then why should Peter and Chambers not be afforded the opportunity for a 2nd or 3rd asskicking.

Chambers has the ability to get a points win over Wlad if he can get inside, and Peter has that chance of landing the shot he did against Jeremy Williams vs Wlad.

At least guys like Adamek, Peter, Thompson, and Chambers have the balls of a fighter. Boystov has hand problems so I won't belittle him, but as for Potvetkin and Haye, and Dimitranko, these guys have had the chance to win the ring championship and earn the title of baddest man on the planet, and have run with their tails between their legs yelping all the way.

 

Welcome to the party. :yep

 

I think Chambers year should look like this:

Next fight - Tony Thompson - He's been in with Wlad, is a tall fighter, tough opposition.

Second fight Peter/Harris winner - mandatory

Third fight Robert Helenius - Poor mans version of Wlad. Both have the plodding, European style and fight tall.

Next Spring could fight Wlad.

 

IBF can't be serious about doing a Chambers vs Peter mandatory eliminator. Both guys just came from getting KOed by Wlad last year.

At least they should include other names in the mix to make it legit.
Chambers vs Rossy already happened, now they should make:
Peter vs M. Grant
Arreola vs Banks
Tony Thompson vs Boswell.

Winners keep meeting up till one is left.

 

Chambers vs Peter would be interesting, but Wlad vs either one would be pointless.

But what can you do, with four sanctioning bodies, all trying not to step on each other's toes, by not take each other's mandatory participants?

There are only so many heavyweights to go around to keep the titleholders in mandaory defenses. You eventually gotta start rahashing some previously beaten opponents.

But to me, the line is drawn if Peter gets a shot at Wlad, again. That would be absolutely rediculous and uninteresting.

 

Some boxers have nine lives!

 

Saw on Eddie's Facebook today that he wants a rematch with Povetkin.

"I'm tired of being looked over I want Povetkin, Adamek or Haye then the Klitschkos! I want Povetkin bad! Him and Teddy will never fight me if they don't have to."
