who is more likely to beat haye: chambers or barrett?

[WLAD OWNS]

Chambers busted up Povetkin on a half assed night.

Chambers fought the best he could against Povetkin.

Chambers started off well, but he became overwhlemed by Povetkin's pressure and workrate..Chambers was hurt, tired and went into a shell in the later rounds....he didn't have the heart or toughness to trade punches with the tougher, hungrier Povetkin.

Povetkin was very sick and he still clearly won the fight.


Chambers definitely has the skill, but I'm not sure he has the will...He seems to be another one of those American heavyweights that lacks the hunger and determination to take their game to the next level.

Chambers because he is younger and way faster

I think this analysis is pretty spot on.

Chambers did do his best, he just got gunshy because firepower was coming back from Povetkin.

Chambers does look very skilled, but you might be right, he didn't look like he was willing to dig deep against Povetkin.

Chambers has the better chance, and he should probably be the favorite in a match with Haye (though the British money will make Haye a public favorite).

Barrett has a puncher's chance.

[The Hammer]

Eddie Chambers is younger, quicker, harder to hit than Monte Barrett. Povetkin said after their fight that he was surprised by Chambers power, he was expecting him to punch no harder than Byrd.

Monte is a good all-round fighter who's had experience against very good opposition, and would have a chance of defeating Haye, but much less than Chambers.

I have to agree with everyone else, Chambers. Barrett is old, has a suspect chin and stamina issues.

Do you think there is any truth to the Haye glass chin rumors? If so, don't you think that would increase Barretts's chances of KO'ing him?

Do you know how Haye has done against slicksters?

Really, I've only seen Haye fight Macca, so I'm not too sure of what he brings to the table, other than some serious power at cruiserweight... not sure if that is going to transfer to heavyweight though.
