Guys like Wlad need their own weight class, I'm not blaming the lack of competition for the heavyweight class being wack. But you really can't expect normal sized or undersized heavyweights to beat a guy Wlads size. Dude is all muscle and no 208 pound man is going to do shit to him.
If your not at least 230 Solid ( prime Holyfield type) dont even bother.
Holyfield has never come into a fight weighing over 220 in his career. he's usually 215ish. In fact in his prime he was under 215
Wlad was just too big and too good. His corner didn't give him any directions other than "you have to fight his guy". I don't any game plan would have helped Chambers. Moving down to CW is his best bet, but I doubt he'll do it.

that sux, i want to delete a couple of my own threads there but i dont see the option on how to do that.
anyways ill give you some advice man.
it's good thing you found a boxing website, im sure you'll get a lot of help from here.
to answer you question i dont think that you too old. it's all about drive and discipline man. Sure you wont have the kind of skills that other more experienced guys have, but as they say boxing is 80% mental, and 20% physical, in other words, will overcomes the skill most of the time.
just train hard, put 110% into it and results will come. dont be in a rush, you'll know for yourself when you'll be ready. and another thing, listen to yourself. if you feel like you're good for it, dont let people tell you otherwise. age is just a number.
as far as weight goes, i say start training and let your body decide what weight is more comfortable. Going down is not necessairly gonna make you better. you may have just as much speed at 200lbs as you would at say 180. Train hard see how you body reacts to it. Dont drain and starve yourself because that's not good either.
and be prepared to get hit, but dont get descouraged man. It's all part of boxing.
Thanks man for the insight it means alot, I'm going today to a local boxing gym to meet with some guys...
