    I still remember those amazing results he obtained with genius trainer Peter Fury.
    Tend to be forgotten, all those amazing results ...

    Going off the ring champ and top ten Fury ud's him or stops him if he really pushes it. Joshua kos him. Wilder catches him with something huge while possibly down on the cards. Povetkin I could see chambers getting a decision against he was competitive when both were green so should have a good shot at one in his 40s.
    Whyte picks up a decision maybe dropping him once. Ortiz I think he can decision. Ruiz decisions him most likely. Parker should get the win but its Parker so who knows. Hunter is too active and beats him, doubt it is by ko though. If Jennings could almost outpoint Rivas I expect Chambers to do about the same, this time avoiding the ko loss. Usyk outpoints him. So not so good for him but not surprised if he got a win or two.

    Chambers is not losing to The Tuscaloser, Whyte, a 41 y/o Povetkin, Ortiz, Fat Andy, or Rivas lol

    He might be a squeak by a decision against one or two of them.
    He was kind of a lazy fighter in his prime. He frequently only did enough to hang in there. He never really dominated anyone or impressively beat any ranked fighters (If I recall correctly. He's not really special enough that I go back and rewatch Eddie Chambers fights. I mostly remember him for being fat. He's like a less exciting version of Clay-Bey)

    Prime Chambers beats a washed Povetkin and Ortiz, but no one else in the top 10, even them 2 would beat him prime for prime

    I got him vs Chisora. If he can edge a prime Peter and the likes of Brock and Purrity he beats Del.

    lol Outside of Fury, AJ, Usyk, and Hunter the current top 10 is garbage. Povetkin is obviously a top fighter but he's way past his best at 41 and Parker hasn't impressed for a while now.

    Joyce would have jabbed his head off.

    No those highlights aren`t that good, I think he might have done well v Whyte though.

    Ruiz would have destroyed him.

    Ortiz is far more skilled than Chambers was.

    Only prime Wlad stopped him and he hit harder and was significantly better than any of the current crop. Speed kills but slickness genocides.

    7 of Ruiz's last 12 fights have gone the distance. He couldn't even stop Zumbano Love or a shot to bits Liakhovich. Prime Chambers would dance circles round those lead feet
