I think Wilder could beat both Mitchell and Banks, but the best fights would be vs Jennings or Arreola!

I hope this is not a growing trend for young GB fighters. After all, Oscar the Golden Boy himself fought for his first title after just 11 pro fights, and look how much success he had.Last edited by SN!PER; 01-21-2013, 11:18 PM.

he's really a CW
yeah, it's that bad.
Also, I'll bet any amount of points with good odds that Lebedev beats him as well. Chambers has good talent but he's never honed it

His two signature wins were over a one dimentional heartless east European robot (Dimitrenko) and past prime Sam Peter & Cal Brock. He fought bravely against Klitschko but was out worked by Povetkin. That's his career in a nutshell.

it's not that i neccessarily think chambers to be a very good HW, but rather that the division is very poor.
the only other man to possibly be considered the best HW in the states is arreola. it's not banks, wilder, or mitchell, as it's been proposed in this thread. chambers has a better resume than those guys. better than arreola, too.
i don't care for lebedev in the least, but i'd be confident with chamber's chances. it's not a fight i care about.

Chambers is very talented but he belongs at cruiserweight.

How does fighting bums and blowing them away in a few rounds improve his technique, stamina, footwork?Originally posted by BostonGuy View PostSadly agree. Wilder's opponent Matt Greer was grossly out of shape, offered little resistance and threw about 15 punches in the two rounds that the fight lasted. A fight like this reinforces Wilder's bad habits, like leaving his hands low and throwing a lazy jab....
Fighting bums probably doesn't help him improve but maybe you can explain how getting knocked out inside of 2 rounds by Mitchell or Banks would help his career progression?
Wilder isn't even close to being ready for Top-15 Heavyweights. Period. His team knows it too so if you are expecting him to fight a Mitchell, Banks or Jennings in his next fight you can dream on.

Would be a good fight but I don't see it.
Mitchell is a hypejob and everyone knows it. GB will try to get him a title shot with as few challenges as possible.
As for Wilder, what can you say? All the tools to be the next champion, but he is being grossly mismanaged. He needs to be getting rounds in against the iron chinned workmen in the division; guys like Friday Ahunanya and Manuel Quezada. Fighters what wont go down on the first big right-hand.
I'm guessing his handlers are moving him as slowly as possible to wait until Vitali is gone and Wlad is either retired or way past it to start making noise and seeking a title shot. Its a shame, because Teddy called Wilder's team out for not getting him the right experience on FNF years ago, and he still hasn't done much. Even if they don't want him ranked in the top ten yet, he needs to be using this time to gain experience.
