    Would favor EC heavily over Steve Cunningham, late TKO or total whooping like he handed Dimitrenko.

    ....Chambers is far too stationary and basic

    Cunningham beats him easily IMO

    I've seen Sebastiaan Rothmann give Cunningham all he could handle, same with Troy Ross. Eddie wouldn't lose his speed advantage against a guy like Cunningham who is slow as mollases, EC would outjab him. Yes I said it, outjab him.

    He would suffer the same fate as Dimitrenko. As a matter of fact, I think I'd slightly favor Eddie Chambers over Adamek.

    :good

    Cunningham isn't slow. definitely not slower than anyone Chambers has fought.

    he never got out of first gear for the Rothmann fight. i don't really think highly of Troy Ross but Chambers hasn't got that kind of athleticism to baffle Cunningham.

    Chambers is a totally one-dimensional poor man's Clottey and i would be shocked if he wins more than four rounds against Cunningham

    I don't know who says Chambers would win a belt at cruiser, but I disagree with them because it is my strong personal belief that Chambers sucks.

    :lol:

    On what grounds? Boxing ability? What boxing ability does EC have? He has no mobility, stands right in front of his opponent, and would be at a speed disadvatnage in this fight.

    Not to mention the fact that he's not a big puncher, and has a very amateur style attack.

    Cunningham would make it look easy and reduce Chambers to looking like an immobile slugger, cuz that's all he would have.

    Troy Ross and Cunningham are NIGHT AND DAY.

    Troy Ross can actually box. He uses movement, both with his feet and upperbody and can set things up.

    Chambers is a one dimensional joke. Basically like the another poster said, he's a heavyweight version of Clottey.

    Steve is more agile than Eddie Chambers, and I am a better singer than was Brad Delp.

    I saw that guy against Klitschko. He stood RIGHT in front of Klitschko. Great movement Eddie.

    And GREAT plan. Stand right in front of the hardest puncher at heavyweight who also has a significant reach advantage.

    WOW....

    AMAZING.

    :lol:

    What impressed you about his agility? The way he even though he was a significantly smaller heavy than Klitschko STOOD RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM despite being the "new" more mobile Eddie Chambers?

    Wow...BRILLIANT. Stand RIGHT IN FRONT OF the hardest puncher at heavy.

    Or was it when he used the same exact tactics to beat ****in RUSSIAN ROBOT named DIMETRWHO who hasn't beat anyone and all that he has going for him is that he's tall.

    Last I checked, Chambers at least picked up a belt. What the **** has DIMETRWHO done?

    Who has he beat?

    And please show me a fight where Chambers shows a brilliant display of mobility and upper body movement.

    This guy is a terrible fighter...

    PLEASE...just stop.

    You need to watch that fight again, EC ran after he realized he couldn't offset Wladimir with speed alone. He didnt get Wlads respect, what he did get though was Wlad's left hand mowed down his face.

    He had to run, plain and simple.. if you really think he just stood in front of Wladimir you're badly mistaken.

    As I previously mentioned, he does not need upper body movement or have light feet to beat Steve, he simply needs to put pressure and keep peppering the defenseless, slow as mollases but tough, durable fighter in Steve Cunningham. I see him doing exactly what he did to Dimitrenko, and yes.. true as it may be, Cunningham picked up a strap at CW, meanwhile Dimitrenko haven't been able to do anything of serious note at heavyweight. But really, getting a gift against Ross and arguably against Wlodarzcyk aswell doesn't sit too well with me, he's a champion, but not a very solid one.

    Steve Cunninghams win against Marco Huck was a great one though, I really enjoyed that. I would love a rematch between the two, I think Marco stops him this time around, but who knows? :smoke Steve might be a favorite in that one.

    So you call backing away after being punched and then resetting into the same idiotic position of standing straight up and down with a high guard, squared up, right in front of the biggest puncher at heavyweight, using effective lateral mobility?

    Show me where he was doing this? And for the record RUNNING for the sake of RUNNING is not boxing.

    PROOF is in the TAPE. You can't DISPUTE THE FACTS.


    Watch JERSEY JOE in contrast...

    THIS IS REAL EFFECTIVE LATERAL MOBILITY.

    Basically, what I'm saying is this. A guy like Wlad needs to set his feet. Unlike his brother for instance, Wlad can't fight without his feet being set or throw from angles. When he attempts this, his accuracy is terrible and he looks like a clown.

    Eddie is consistantly letting Wlad set his feet. On top of this, Eddie isn't even giving him different looks by using upperbody movement and hand positioning. He is essentially a BIG TARGET. A guy like Haye for instance, would not let this happen because the guy has excellent lateral mobility.

    And in my opinion, that is a BIG PART of what makes a GOOD boxer.
