    I like the fact that he came in much better shape in his fight and looked much better for it. he is the best american heavyweight. I think he should give Wlad a good fight but it will be difficult for him to win.

      I like Chambers, but I gotta wonder how much he improved? I mean would he do much better against Povetkin if they fought again?

        Let's hope he is real competition for the belts, the division certainly needs it. He just has to stay in shape, a problem for everyone it seems that fights the Klitschkos. Big part of his turnaround was finally getting into shape.

          Wow, I guess it was a good hear, whatever he did he should keep doing it, not a single hate comment.

            What's not to like with this guy?
            - takes his job seriously, trains hard & gets into shape
            - earned his shot
            - technically pretty good and fast
            - more exciting to watch than many other fighters
            - is more of a gentleman than the average HW

            He knows he has a difficult match ahead. The burden of being "the last US hope on the HW belts" does not bother him.

              Before he lost weight he had absolutely no chance to win. Now he has no chance to win at all.

              Klitschko KO10, unless Chambers goes into a ropeadope shell like Johnson and doesn't wanna get knocked out.

                i like Eddie and i think he has a better than average shot at beating Wlad...my only concern is the weight difference. 208 vs 240+ is ALOT to ask of a man to overcome.(against a man that knows how to use his size) Not saying it cannot be done, just saying its an uphill battle to be sure

                  Nicely written piece. I'm a definite fan of Chambers, it's always nice to see a bigman with speed and who can box.

                    He should shed that little bit more and just take it to Cruiser.

                      It'd be easy for him to make cruiser but the money is at heavyweight.
