    Chambers has slick boxing skills and is one of the top Heavyweights out there. No need to move down to cruiser to fight for peanuts. People make too much out of his physique. Yes at times he has probably not been in tip top shape, but he looks like one of those people that is predisposed to being a little cubby built.

    Just proving the point that Chambers does have power.

    That is bias. Povetkin had a lot of problems in the first 4 or 5 rounds of the fight. Chambers was doing beautyful, but then simply stopped boxing. And the fight was not close, cause it took place on Povetkins home turf. The same fight on neutral ground would´ve been scored close. Povetkin was the deserved winner thanks to his great workrate and stamina. He was more willing that night. But imo this was much more Chambers losing than Povetkin winning. Chambers is more talented than Povetkin, much more potential. He jsut has to get himself in top shape. If he is focussed i don´t see Povetkin beating him.

    No, Chambers has earned his shot at Wladimir and he is going to make more money and possibly accomplish more at HW than CW.

    :lol: they both fight out of the same gym, too.

    Cunningham is a bigger guy, oddly enough, than Chambers. Chambers, of course, is a good bit slicker.

    :lol: bigger does not mean taller, Cunningham got his ass kicked by Tomasz Adamek, Chambers would beat the living **** out of Tomasz Adamek. Chambers is much more skilled than Cunningham, hits harder, and is a top 5 heavyweight. Who has Cunningham beat that's anywhere near Chambers resume?
