    Who should Chambers fight next?

    Chambers needs a stay-busy fight to prepare for Wlad. Some say Chambers should fight a C level opponent. I disagree, I think Chambers should fight someone riskier like Kevin Johnson, Shannon Briggs, or Sergey Lyakhovich, all winnable fights for him.

    Oleg Maskaev is the ideal stay-busy fight for Chambers, but Maskaev is rumored to fight Arreola. How do you think Chambers would fare against the opponets I mentioned?

    Ray Austin or Dominic Guinn would be suitable opponents.

      Chambers already beat Domminc Guinn and Ray Austin is a joke, Chambers would probably be unmovtivated to fight him.

        Much better suggestions than yours. Lyakovich, a guy who may as well be retired. Briggs, a guy who is retired and Kevin Johnson who already has a fight scheduled.

          I thought Lyakovich and Briggs were still looking for fights? And Lyakovich was rumored to fight Toney. As for Johnson, I was suggesting after or if he beats Solis.

            Lyakovich hasn't fought in a year and a half after a fight in which he came in fat, out of shape, and lost every round.

            Briggs hasn't fought for 2 years.

            If either one fights again it will be purely for money and they will get their ass kicked.

            At least Austin still fights on a regular basis and defeated Golota in the past year.

              Toney, Rahman, Kali Meehan or someone like that unless he fights Wlad next.

                Some young talented guys or a tall veteran. Tony Thompson (I know he is a southpaw,but timing height and figuring the distance for two fights in a row before Wlad would be great for preparation). Or some guys like Chazz Witherspoon, Mike Mollo, Brian Minto, Mariusz Wach, (Helps with the height thing too), Malik Scott, or even Travis Walker. You could gauge his success against WItherspoon and Walker against Arreola's winning efforts.

                  Yeah Thompson would be a good warm up for Wlad.

                    Kingpin Johnson would be a big risk. I think Chambers is more than capable of beating him in a somewhat close UD, but at this point he doesn't need such a live risk before that shot against Wlad.

                    Golota, maybe? :laff2:
