    When did I say I was an "expert"? If anyone considers me an expert, that's their own opinions because I've never said anything to that effect.

    Malignaggi was able to make Hatton look similar, it's not always about the power as it is the accuracy.

    As far as Chambers and his "heavyweight power", what good is power if you don't go out and try to put a hurting on someone? Chambers has a safety-first temperment, even at the risk of giving away rounds. He has some power, but not enough for him to take chances to capitalize on an opponent.

    If you noticed in the Peter fight, Chambers never countered any of Peter's misses. He would simply cover up whenever Peter threw at him and throw his shots when Peter stopped punching.

    Dmitrenko has a big power advantage over Chambers and that might keep the counter-punches in the holster. Or it might not.

      You're right, Chambers has more power than he's given credit for.

      Povetkin said after the fight he was surprised at how hard Eddie hit him, he was expecting another Chris Byrd.

      But Chambers work rate is mediocre by times - he has to be more aggressive, and be willing to launch a sustained attack to defeat the top heavyweights.
