    Dont know,mate! Chambers may be too early for Boytsov,and so may be his next foe Bidenko.

    In terms of experience both Boytsov cant hold a candle to neither Chambers nor Bidenko.

    How old is he now? 22? 23? No need to rush him into big fights!

    Bidenko,his next foe,is his stable mate and friend.Therefore I dont think that he will nail his true colours to the mast in their upcomming fight.:-(

    I like Arreola , he has ability and comes to fight, sure I'd like to see him in better shape but outside of the Klits and Haye how many HWs out there couldnt stand to lose a few pounds ? Chambers , Johnson , Peter are all on the lardy side.

    Dunno if Arreola can become champ yet but I'll be cheering for him anyway !

    No. I can see the HW division being ruled by the Europeans for a while yet.

    I think he is nothing more than Peter, he will catch some belt once then get lazy, fat and undisciplined.

    The thing is: he fought at Light Heavyweight as an amateur, then something went terribly wrong.

    He could be a lethal cruiserweight, a skilled puncher as noted before me, but at HW, he's either badly overweight, slow and sloppy, or puts his **** together, goes down to 220 (which would be his natural weight), but would be too light vs. these big guys.

    Either way it's a lose-lose situation. Thing is, Arreola is not a heavyweight. He's a fat LHW/CW.

    Too fat, how can a professional athlete be so out of shape.

    Like the look of that russian fella though.

    Yes he is. And when he becomes champion he's destined to become the most hated heavyweight boxer in all the history of the ESB Boxing Forum.

    Yes, he is!

    Until he meets David Haye though.

    I think Haye has more of a future. He's a more impressive puncher than Peter IMO, and while he's ugly to watch, he can beat guys up. I saw a recent fight of his with some black dude that was just embarrassing. He looked like absolute ****, though he got a KO.
