People say Chambers would win a belt at Cruiser: Let's take a look...

Haye, Adamek, and Cunningham were the top three names at Cruiser while Chambers was at heavy...

How would he fare against them.


Let's take a look at Chambers.


For some reason on this forum, Klitschko fanatics regard Chambers as the next coming of Pernell Whitaker. They consider Chambers a defensive mastermind because he stands right in front of his opponent, straight up and down, and puts his gloves up. He doesn't use lateral movement and his style is very predictable, and makes it difficult for him to counter effectively against anyone that can move.

Chambers decided to use this style against Povetkin who also stands right in front of his opponent, but unlike Chambers, he throws a large volume of punches. Chambers did manage to land 60% of his powershots because Povetkin left himself open throwing all those punches, but he still managed to win the fight because Chambers let him beat on him for 12 rounds without moving.

Chambers did manage to beat a fat as hell, can't really move to begin with Sam Peter by utilizing this style as well. This time though he did move a little, but that's no great stretch when the guy in front of you looked like he was about to collapse in the ring due to exhaustion.

Then in Chambers most brilliant performance, he did this against Wlad, only one of the hardest punching heavyweight's in history with a superior reach advantage. What a brilliant idea. Let's stand right in front of Wlad, squared up, and let him punch threw my guard. Great idea...

Take a look at his opposition.

Let's start with Cunningham.

First of all Cunningham a significant reach advantage, is faster than Chambers, and actually uses footwork and boxing skills to win fights as he's trained by Nazim Richardson.

Chambers, a non puncher, would not have a speed advantage and his strategy of standing stationary, right in front of his opponent would feed right into Cunningham's strategy as he would easily outbox him to a wide decision, making Chambers look amateurish in the process.

Let's got to Adamek.

Adamek's in and out style and hard punches would wear down the stationary Chambers. He would land combinations, get outside and use lateral movement to confuse Chambers, especially considering aside from Wlad, his opposition at heavyweight may have ridden the short bus at some point in their lives.

There is a possiblity that Adamek wins by KO, but I'll give Chambers' chin the benefit of the doubt and say that he survives a wide decision.

Now Haye...

Is there even any need for discussion?

Haye brings all the attributes that Cunningham does, with the exception that he can be a bit more reckless, but he also punches MUCH MUCH HARDER and has FASTER HANDS. This would be a massive beating. Haye would treat non punching Chambers like a *****, and knock him out around the 6th round.

Doesn't look to me like Chambers can beat any of these guys.

Thoughts?

 

I'm not a huge Haye fan though. Haye talked **** and didn't fight Wlad. That loses points with me.

But that doesn't skew my objectivity. I think he would knock Wlad out.

Vitali, I'm not so sure about. Even at this age, Vitali is a beast.

It's funny that people consider Wlad to be superior to Vitali.

 

I think so too.

There is still a possibility that Haye could win a decision against him, but until that happens, Vitali is the top guy in the division.

He would smash Wlad as well.

 

bump for this garbage fighter named Chambers
