    Chambers To Ponder Path after Wladimir Klitschko's Injury

    With the news coming down that WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is recovering from shoulder surgery and probably unable to fight until 2010, his likely next opponent, WBO mandatory Eddie Chambers, is going to ponder his options in 2009. Klitschko injured his left shoulder during June's win over Ruslan Chagaev. There were moves being made to have Klitschko-Chambers take place in the December. That plan is now off.

    Sounds like Klitschko got paid off by HBO to step aside, mabye making enough money available for Berto vs. Mosley...

      This has got to break Darkstar's heart. He adores Eddie Chambers. LOL. I think he should maybe try to get a rematch with Povetkin or I think HBO should throw a PPV with Hopkins-Williams and Eddie Chambers-James Toney with a couple of other solid fights. I'd buy it if they did that.

        Its a shame this bout will be postponed, not to many big fights to go after in the HW division.

              If Hopkins and Williams fight this year how is that going to leave enough money for a Berto-Mosley fight? I guess that is where this cancelation comes into play. That is why if they made Hopkins-Williams a PPV with a Toney-Chambers fight on the undercard it would free up even more money for a Shane Mosley fight.

                HBO has money and dates available, and Wlad will be okay by December.

                It seems Greenburg just doesn't want to have the heavyweight champion of the world on TV for some reason!

                Wlad should go ahead and fight Chambers in December without HBO, if it's possible.

                  Translation:

                  Greenburg is a *** who doesn't want to have a White man as the favorite in a televised heavyweight fight.

                  Or should I just go ahead and post what you really think about him from castefootball?

                  Oh wait, I recall this ad from HBO which is obviously promoting Wlad opposed to the Black American in what they have advertised as THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.

                    It's simple, Chambers - Povetking rematch both puttin up their IBF/WBO mandatory positions. By the time Wlad is ready, only one mandatory will be there.
