I feel that Eddie chambers woulda beaten Vitali if he were in there instead of Johnson
Chambers is a great counterpuncher, and Vitali had to come in so awkwardly and off balance in order to try and land that right hand, that he was WIDE open for counter lefts and counter uppercuts.
Chambers as all of that.
Chambers also has a great chin, and defensive skills. And most importantly he is a smart intelligent fighter.
Klitschko wont be able to outwork him like that other Russian guy did. ANd klitschko really seemed to struggle with Johnsons athleticism, its just that Johnson has ZERO offensive talent other then that jab. ANd KLitschko is very slow now
Chambers is an excellent fighter, and the LAST AMERICAN HOPE!!!!!!!!
WAR CHAMBERS!!!!!!
thats not true at all. Vitali cant punch very hard at all. He was sloppy and inaccurate tonight. He hasnt fought a fighter with technical ability since Lennox Lewis almost 7 years ago.
Gomez obviously was overrated and untested, and he is possibly the best fighter on his resume since Lewis.
You guys are HEAVILY overrating Vitali. its easy to look like your old self when ur beating up guys with very limited ability
innacurate? 53% of power punches landed is inaccurate?
in what world besides your own?
like i always say, it takes someone who knows fighting to actually make worthwhile comments about it.
Dimitrenko at the time was viewed as the biggest threat to either klitschko, and was the betting favorite over Eddie Chambers.
He was exposed by Eddie Chambers. You do not know what you are talking about
there were a lot thinking dim may have been the next big thing but he hadnt beaten anyone with a pulse and was pretty much exposed against chambers. still a good win for chambers but I dont think dim was near as good any many thought he was
Eddie Chambers would have actually opened up. Which would have allowed him to get caught. Which would get him KO'd.
If Povetkin's pressure can make Chambers shell up and lose composure, imagine what VK would do.
Y'all need to get real.
That was FAT EDDIE not FAST EDDIE who comes in @208 and does a lot of things he did not do in the Povetkin fight. I think you nned to get real if Arreola almost went the distance w/ Vitali running in face forward with no head movement why would Eddie CHambers get KO'd. Vitali is not the monster you make him out to be.
Dimitrenko is garbage.
Common opponents
Wlad UD Peter (243 lbs)
Vitali TKO 8 Peter (250 lbs)
Chambers MD Peter (267 lbs)
Wlad KO 7 Brock (223 lbs)
Chambers SD Brock (241 lbs)
Chambers BARELY got past Klitschko leftovers Peter and Brock. They were both damaged goods, overweight (career high weights) and were coming off devastating KO losses to the Klitschkos.
If a green Povetkin (who was very sick) can beat the shit out of Chambers, just imagine what either Klitschko would do to him.
Either Klitschko destroys Chambers.
END OF THREAD
Did you actually SEE those fights? obviously not
And obviously this whole triangle theory never works.
Chambers is clearly a fighter that fights up to his level of opposition.
His best performances has come against his biggest opponents. Like it or not, Vitali would have a very rough time beatin Chambers
Eddie Chambers would have actually opened up. Which would have allowed him to get caught. Which would get him KO'd.
If Povetkin's pressure can make Chambers shell up and lose composure, imagine what VK would do.

Really? the great Dimitrenko. There is a reason they took the fight. His lack of power and skill. Everyone favored Eddie going into that fight. Anyone sane should favor Vitali or Wlad over Eddie. They are to big to powerful.
I know your sick of them. Your looking for hope. Eddie is a okay fighter. But he just doesn't have what it takes.
Maybe he can be champion when the Klitschko's retire.

Wladimir vs Eddie, yes Wladimir should be favored to win the fight.
Vitali vs Eddie? No way especially after his performance against Johnson. Vitali does not have Wladimir's power to discourage Eddie, which means Eddie will easily slip and block all of Vitali's punches to land his shots. Not to mention Vitali is even slower than both Wladimir and Dimitrenko
Dimitrenko was considered a top prospect and hyped to be a future champion and Chambers took him apart. Dimitrenko beyond garbage? You don't know what your talking about.

Agree that he'd lose to both Klychko's probably Haye too.

lol trying to hype Chambers by saying he beat Dimitrenko? Dimitrenko is beyond garbage.
Chambers is a good fighter he's just way too small to compete

Again, Povetkin!!!!!!!!!...your boy just isn't that good. Haye would kill him, Wlad is gonna school him and VK would just make him look like Kevin Johnson. Sorry kid, but your wrong about Chambers, he's mediocre at best.

maybe you are overestimating chambers.
wlad should deal with him.

You didn't see Chambers vs Dimitrenko did you? I suggest you watch that fight.

Yes and Dimitrenko is a green prospect that hasn't accomplished shit. You obviously didn't see the Poventkin vs Chambers, did you?
to be fair, Chambers was in far better shape against Dimitrenk than he was against Povetkin. and whats more, Chambers did a pretty damn good job in the Povetkin fight and almost won it...Povetkin just outworked him and stole it in the last few rounds. I thought Povetkin took the cleaner shots and was a little more roughed up at the end of that fight.
I consider Chambers MUCH better than Kevin 'The loudmouth self-overrating mediocre heavyweight' Johnson, but I dunno if I would go as far as to say that he could beat Vitali.
I think Chambers has a significantly higher chance of beating this version of Vitali than he would of beating Wladimir.

He is Definetly NOT mediocre, he is just small.
Anyone with appreciation for boxing can appreciate the skills of Chambers. he is very talented, just unfortunetly small
Both Johnson and Arreola are garbage. Arreola has no skill set, Johnson is too green.
Chambers skills and experience is vastly ahead of those two despite being smaller.
As for Vitali, he looked old, his punches were telegraphed, and he was open to counters. Any boxer with ring intelligence and a good skill set would of beaten Vitali.

Hes more marketable i guess, but anyone with 2 eyes knew that Arreola wasnt beating Vitali, and that Arreola was a poor investment.
But he's fun to watch so w/e lol
Nothing fun to watch about a fat out of shape heavyweight who can barely move his arms.
