    To be honest, I haven't seen enough of Povs to figure it out. He's small, undefeated and looks like he fights in a closed box - much like Chags. Rather, Dimitrenko is the one who I think would make the biggest difference, since he's bigger than Wlad and has a good style (head/upper body movement, etc.)

    Speaking of whom, where does Sascha go after he beats Chambers? Vitali...?

        Seriously, what has Chambers got that will faze Drago? A decent jab, not much stamina (that fight with Peter looked like a puff-out for both guys), hardly any height to speak of, not many KOs, and looked lackluster against the original subject of this topic - Povetkin.

        I call an easy UD, if not a stoppage.

            ive watched dimitrienko and hes very simple and basic...chambers is the best oponent hes faced. not only that but dimitrienko has been hurt a few times by lower class fighters..i wouldnt be suprised if chambers KOed him!..chambers hits harder than people think he just doesnt let his hands go enough sometimes. he hurt sam peter a couple of times in their fight but didnt let it all go..which necessarily isnt a bad thing..i take chambers by clear UD..mark my words

              he might put up a better fight than Chag did, but i expect the jab of Wlad to be too much for Povetkin to over come. everyone says they will do this or that differently. they say that until they step in the ring with Wlad.

              Haye is the only serious challenge out there for Wlad right now.

                Not only that but Chambers has been improving. He's using more footwork, more lateral movement, and I noticed an increased in his punch output against Peter, although still needs to throw more punches. I expect to see more improvements when he fights Dimitrenko.

                  Haye is even less skilled than Chag, Haye would of been knocked out sooner. Good for him to cancel the fight, bad for him to challenge Klitschko in the first place.

                    Definitely, Chambers is a good step up for him. I don't think there'll be a stoppage because both guys look a bit tentative at times, but nonetheless hopefully more people take notice of the fight, because it should be good. I would assume the winner gets a look-in at a title shot, surely?

                    And yeah, I actually liked what he did against Peter (and I have no fuckin time for that fat idiot). There was indeed an evident problem of Chambers not letting his hands go and finishing things, but the jab made me take notice. It's snappy, he used it well and made use of what he had. By no means am I calling Chambers a bad fighter.
