    I just saw this point, and it`s the opportunity for me to say something i wanted to say for a long time! I think Byrd is the one of the best HW`s of the last say 10-15 years, i would rate him just behind Lewis and Klitschkos, and Holyfield i guess... And i think he could (yeh, could`ve, would`ve...) be a good force in some previous era`s...

    I agree with everything you say, and taking to consideration what you say i think Chambers would be a beast at CW should that division have some more talent and money to be worth competeing in it...
    C'mon Byrd lost it the last few fights at heavyweight. He got a gift draw against Golota and a somewhat controversial decision over McCline. Not to mention a aboslute horrible confrontation (it sure as fuck wasn't a fight) with Davarryl Williamson (who is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet). And to point out that Chris Byrd NEVER stopped a top 15 heavyweight. Vitali threw his shoulder out punching Byrd too much, so that doesn't count. The biggest KO victory for Byrd was fucking Jimmy Thunder. As for Chambers at cruiserweight, hell yeah he could be a beast. FINALLY SOMETHING WE AGREE ON. The cruiserweight division is far more talented than the heavyweights and it battles the Welterweights as the deepest top 20 in the sport but lacks the big names like what the lightweights, welterweights, and super middleweights possess. The only money to be made is in Europe and the only exception to that is Tomasz Adamek.

      GREAT!!!!

      Well, i think Adamek is the potential money gem, for many guys not only in CW but for LHWs who go north, and now maybe for HWs also...

      I think should Golota have some more brains he could have been a pain in the ass for all the HW champions of the last 15 years - not only Rid**** Bowe and Chris Byrd...

      P.S. no wonder a small guy had many close fights against big guys I still rate him very high.

        I cannot see any hate in Chambers interview. He simply mentioned that Klitschko has a bigger fan base in Germany than he has. Which cannot be denied. And bringing back the belts to the US would not hurt the sport in general.

        C'mon, Chambers is a good HW, better than most challengers the Klitschkos had in the last five years. He will have his chance, he is fast and technical far ahead of Arreola.

        But I doubt it will be enough. Wlad found ways to deal with fast boxers (Byrd, Chagaev), and Wlad is head and shoulders better than Dimitrenko. If the shoulder injury leaves no permanent damage, I see Eddi's chances below 5% here.

        And, BTW, Chambers is in que for Wlad, not Vitali. Vitali adapts easily to any style he is faced with, and dominates.

          IMO Chambers has a 50% chance to beat Vitali. Although Vitali was impressive against Arreola, he fights like that against Chambers, it's not going to work. Against Wladimir, I give Chambers a 40% chance.

            Give Eddie credit for getting in shape, unlike Arreola, but he will just be another notch in Wlad's belt. He will try to get inside and will get ktfo. There is NO resemblence between Dimitrenko and either Klitschko brother, beyond them both being big and Ukrainian ( but from far different parts of the country). The Klitschkos are on top for a reason, and I can't see Eddie doing much about it.

              I'd say Chambers has about a 0% chance to beat Vitali, and 5% chance to beat Wlad.
