chambers would really give vitaly big problems. he is slick, fast, good defense, and he fights (not like survival mode KJ). but vitali can get taken in his next fights. possibility for beating vitali: chambers, solis in great shape(235) haye has a small chance, cause his defense is way to bad, but he is very fast, so it would be nice as long it last, but vitali would knock him. i can't see anyone else giving vitali a tough time. Wladimir Klitschko will be unbeatable for the next 4 years.
i know, i'm even a big fan of vitali, but he looked very uncomfortable with the akward defense of johnson, johnson managed his defense against the straight right very good, and he was kind of slick and long reach so vitali had big problems landing power shots. but who else is there with good defense, good speed and fighting ability??? only chambers, solis, boytsov is great in my opinion but he fits as a ko victim of the klitschkos. haye is there, but i haven't see enough of him at heavyweight, yes he is very fast, great puncher, and good ofensive arsenal, but his defense is bad, to beat klitschko you need to have a great defense
It doesn't take great skill to fight like Johnson did. This fight only proved that if you do nothing, you don't stand a chance against Vitali. Vitali would have stopped Johnson, if he had an ounce of heart and desire.
Yes you can frustrate Vitali with a defense like Byrd or Johnson but you'd still lose a lopsided decision. If you open up a bit like Johnson did in the 12th you'll get hammered.
Styles make fights.......... V.K. will look old or bad if pitted against a "Survivor." Most fighters tend to look bad when one guy refuses to fight back with vigor............. :deal MR.BILL
Come on, for Chrissakes! Kevin Johnson is a good defensive fighter who showed NO OFFENSE! So how's losing 12 rounds to 0, 36 minutes to 0 and 2160 seconds to 0 was trouble for Vitali Klitschko? What happened is called a SHUTOUT. What problems did you see? Ali Funeka recently outclassed the very solid Joan Guzman. Now you could say good slick, solid fighters give Funeka problems. Only he got robbed vs. Guzman and Campbell, because he beat them both. So what's the problem? Vitali Klitschko did not lose a single round or minute or second vs. a guy supposed to be a problem for him. So how's Eddie Chambers winning 7 rounds?
i didn't said that chambers will beat vitali. i think that chambers is able to win a couple of rounds, because he is very slick and can counter, the problem is, that chambers is way too small. vitali should fight two more times, one against haye, and valuev(I want to see valuev getting knocked). after his two knockout wins he should retire, because he really don't have more competition. and vlad can unify all titles.
Good post. Some are overestimating Chambers ability. He is a pretty decent counter puncher but he's way to small to be able to use it against Vitali. He'd do better against Vitali than he would against Volodymyr but he'd still lose badly to Vitali. With Volodymyr's handspeed, size, and punching power alone Chambers hopes are dashed. He should fight CW
:good yeah chambers will get raped by vlad, vlad is probarly even faster than chambers. 2010 will be boring in the heavyweigt division. vlad will destroy the two best challengers, in chambers and povetkin haye will have a real stinker with his fight with ruiz vitali will destroy solis
Chambers would beat the crap out of Vitali so bad, Vitali would be considered overrated. As for the size mismatch, Chambers took apart Dimitrenko who's 6'7 250lbs+. Vitali does not have Wladimir's boxing ability, sharpness, youth, speed, or power. Chambers has nothing to fear from Vitali.
