    hes old but hes never been stopped and may as well be considered undefeated since his only loss was in a 4 round affair 7 years ago after going pro without amateur background.

    krasniqi wasnt "shot" until thompson beat the ever living **** out of him in an absolutely dominating performance... krasniqi did stop brian minto in his previous fight.

    imo thompson is as accurate and throws as many or more punches as chambers.... plus thompson is 6'6 and left handed

    his resume is weak becuase nobody is gonn fight tony unless they have to do so. he is a risky opponent with little reward
    I saw some Tony Thompson fights on youtube and I wasn't that impressed. He's a tall guy with a decent jab and some fundamentals, but he is slow and he is lacking in the power department. He would lose to title holders Wlad, Ibragimov, Chagaev and Peter IMO, I would give him a good chance against Maskaev though.

      Chambers is too small and any of the champions is a bad style match up for him. I am actually hoping that he losses to Povetkin because if he had won, he would get beaten badly and knocked out by Wladimir. He is from my home town so i would not like to see that happenen..lol His style is too pick shots off with his gloves then countering his opponents, which is why i see fighters like Wladimir, Chagaev and peter having thier way him. They would crack his defence and punch threw his gloves.
