    Even though he lost to Wlad, I still think he's really good and can beat most out there but he hasn't said a word since the Wlad fight.

    I thought about that too a couple of weeks ago... Even Kevin Jokeson is getting another fight soon, why isn't he.

    That said, I really think he should go for the CW belts. He knows he's not up for it at HW with the brothers dominating the division, he can always come back up later. (it's pretty easy to get a few CW belts these days for a guy like him)

    He should be a cruiser, he can easily sweat off 10 pounds. Of course he made more money losing to Wlad than he's make even if he unified the cruiserweight division. But that's where he belongs, and they're practically handing out title shots to anyone who wants one at the moment.

    I'd love to see him fight at CW too. It would be a waste of talent if he squanders the rest of his career now, he can achieve so much more at cruiser than he can at heavyweight

    I think he should try to get involved in the proposed Cruiserweight Super 6. He would be guaranteed the big fights, could make some money and if he wins he could even return to Heavyweight with some real momentum behind him.

    Chambers is approaching Solis-like inactivity.

    I tend to agree with wanting to see Eddie at cruiserweight. Even at his lowest weight (208 vrs. Dimitrenko) Chambers still looked a bit pudgy and unathletic. 200 seems quite doable.

    I guess the stumbling block is he's already worked his way through the heavyweight division and can't get similar pay-days at cruiserweight. Plus, what big-name cruiser would risk getting in the ring with him? They could do Chambers-Cunningham in Philly, but I'm sure both boxers would prefer getting their name out there a little more before engaging in a fraternal slug-fest.

    By hiring Steward, Chambers' seems to be signaling that he doesn't want a Wlad rematch....does he intend to try to work his way through the WBA rankings?

    Yet another inactive heavyweight fighter. Got a few $$$$ and lost the urge to fight as much.

    This seems to be how most boxers are nowadays.
