    Will Chambers drop to CW?

    I think he should, he would win a title there no doubt and maybe even dominate the division.

    Cunningham is faster with his feet and hands and would have a big size advantage.

    Huck could present simlar problems like the Povetkin fight

    Afolabi is 6'4, crafty southpaw, awkward, and very good defensivly

    Alekseev is a great technically, southpaw, and has legit power in both fists.

    Hernandez, Drozd, Fragomeni, Wlodarczyk, Lebedev, Ross, Frenkel

    Eddie is a very good fighter and would be better off at CW but it wouldn't be a cakewalk by any means, he certianly won't dominate the division.

      It seems that way. He was only 209 pounds. A move down would be good.

        Really? I don't think Huck fights anything like Povetkin, in his last fight I thought he looked terrible technically.

        Cunningham is the only one that would present problems for him IMO, the guys like you mentioned, Fragomeni for example, would get beaten easily by Chambers.

          I was speaking to Huck's aggression and workrate. I think he'd have a hell of a time vs at least a half dozen guys at CW

            Might as well. He's not quite in tip top shape at HW. Trim off maybe 10 lbs and he's a strong CW. He can definitely win a title there. Love to see him fight Cunningham.

                An old saying goes, in order to compete in the heavyweight division you just need to be big enough.

                Boxers like Byrd, Chambers, and Michael Moorer should have started as cruiserweights. In Byd's case though he should have never been in the heavyweight division.

                  Part of me thinks he should stay at heavy. The division is so weak he could contend for awhile, but if he stays he might consider fighting the smaller guys like Adamek or Banks.

                    I agree with this, I think he would be better off in Cruiserweight.. He's just not as "Fast" as he claims to be and really, there's not much future in the HW division for him.. Let's see him put on some good CW fights instead.
