    Is it safe to say that in a very Horrendous era.....where the eastern europen block has come in the fore front of the heavyweight scene, that they may not be all that they are cracked up to be.....look at the circumstances....

    The Klitschko's naturally gifted as they are dominating a weak era, with other so called top european fighters...i.e. Valuev(circus freak, getting gift decisions), dimitrenko that some harrold as the heir apparent to the Kltischko's......thus leads to the conclusion...

    "Fast" Eddie Chambers Dimalition of a status quo era hype job.....keep in mind chambers is a small heavyweight by todays standards.....

    In last months issue of Ring Magazine, they said the average weight of todays heavyweight's was 245....and 6'2......and after the royal ass kicking the dimy got....is it safe to say that the actual hype jobs is the eastern euro trash block?

    Wow I started to believe that becasue the euro trash couldnt compete because of the old USSR that they were really superior....well it looks like the hype train crashed and burned in germany......

    and the world of boxing should give a BIG thank you....to Eddie Chambers.....proving the point the Klitschko's good fighters and all are dominating in the WORST!!! era of heavyweights....

    Where were you when Povetkin beat Chambers? He is the best American HeavyWeight.

    Was African HeavyWeights exposed when Peters lost to Chambers.

    Chambers has improved while povetkin got chunky against estrada....chambers would beat alex in a rematch.....and at the time arreola was suppoesed to be the best american heavy, so much for that reasoning

    Because he beat Dimitrenko, who sucks?

    Povetkin would knock him out in under 6 rounds.

    I think you will find out within a ring. Watch Vlad Vs. Byrd and you will see how be knocks Chambers out. Chambers is a cheap copy of Byrd. Haters claim that Hopkins would knock out Klitschkos, something that Hopkins would laugh at. Next haters will claim that flyweight will knock Klitschkos out. Povetkin beat Chambers in box-off, Povetkin easily beat Chambers. Vlad will knock Povetkin out then Chambers. Dimitrenko could not compete with Klitschko in gym, not even close.

    They are good amateur boxers but had to learn more about professional boxing.

    Wladimir grows up with Emanuel Steward in his corner. This makes the difference.

    Read what I wrote. "Dimitrenko"

    Lets try this one more time.

    Povetkin would knock out Dimitrenko in under 6 rounds.

    The Eastern European fighters are not clones of each other any more than are American, Mexican, Korean, or Philippinos. Yes, they proliferate in the heavyweight scene now like never before, but who is like Valuev? Who's like Wlad or Vitali? Who's like Golata? Today Dimitrenko showed he's not ready to bang with the big boys and may never be. Boytsov next, perhaps. I'm embarrassed for the people who call each one Drago.
