Is Eddie Chambers the most skilled boxer in the HW division?

Yes, and he's probably the fastest or top 2 at the very least.

Well, you can't even hit Wlad.

6'8 or not, you can't hit the bastard with a bag of rocks.

Wlad takes it for me. A guy who can win fights against top guys behind his jab and protect a suspect chin as well as Wlad has done is a very well skilled guy.

Let's not confuse that for skills. I'd say that is taking advantage of awesome physical attributes. say Wladimir was Chamber's height and size: he would get utterly destroyed. Wladimir does what he does with perfect technical proficiency, but he is still pretty basic. Amazing ring generalship however.

Well he probably wouldn't fight the way he fights if he's small. Boxing is all about taking advantage of everything you have. Wlad makes it look effortless. You also have to consider that Wlad has fought the best in the division and really hasn't been forced to show his whole arsenal, he's been able to just win fights behind 1 arm. Chambers is forced to show everything every time out.

But Wlad does have the physical attributes, if he didn't he would be Wlad.

I don't get the argument. Wlad hasn't been caught with a half decent punch for about 4 years.

HELL NO

Povetkin beat the **** out of Chambers

Wlad is the most skilled heavyweight

ok if you consider imposing size a skill. I guess it may be.

it's not about not getting hit. Cotto gets hit a lot more times than Wlad but he's still about thousand times more skilled than Wlad is.
