    Peter and Chambers are going fight -- should we care?

    Is the winner truly ready to challenge for a HW title?

    Should the loser consider his career effectively over as far as the HW Title picture is concerned?

    Frankly, Povetkin hasn't got his shot yet and Haye would also seem to be a higher priority than either of these two.

    For my tastes, I think the winner of this fight should be required to win one more match against a competitive opponent before being considered for a title shot. All we need now is a worthwhile opponent waiting in the wings!

    Thoughts, opinions? :think

    I think Eddie Chambers will easily outbox the Sam Peter, cause Peter just has his money punch and its not land on the slick Eddie Chambers.

    The Heavyweight "gatekeeper/stepping stone" title is at stake ... the loser becomes the stepping stone ... the winner becomes a gatekeeper.

    Sam Peter wants to change your headline to "Where's That Steak?"

    Yes, every fight these guys has don't necessarily have to have something at stake. These two are fighting to gain better ranking, to make money, and to stay busy.

    SHould be a good fight, regardless....:good
