Ward usually goes up to around 175lbs after the weigh in, while Chambers weighed 202lbs against Adamek on the night. That is 27lbs weight difference, Chambers is expected to fight fellas 240lbs+ in HW division.
IMO Ward decisively beat Chambers on points. 118-110 for Ward. Ward would be too slick, more skilled and will be able to take away Chambers size advantage.
I know it can never happen due to the different decisions. But lets say from a fantasy standpoint, if the heavyweight entry point was still 175lbs.
Lol at those thinking Andre Ward can beat any heavyweight or any top heavyweight or most top heavyweights. If he could, then what is he still doing at light heavyweight / super middleweight instead of ACTUALLY competing at REAL heavyweight? The answer is simple, which is that his chances of beating ANY top heavyweight is EXTREMELY low!
Despite being the same height as Andre Ward, Eddie Chambers has ACTUALLY competed and has had decent success at heavyweight. On the other hand, Andre Ward is totally unproven at heavyweight. So all his accomplishments below heavyweight are irrelevant when assessing his chances of beating a top heavyweight opponent at heavyweight.
I actually do think Eddie Chambers is the more skilled boxer than Andre Ward. His skills are the reasons why he has been able to compete against opponents MUCH bigger and stronger. Andre Ward is VASTLY overrated compared to Eddie Chambers who has underrated boxing skills but is by no means inferior.
