Comments Thread For: Eddie Chambers Doesn't Rule Out a Drop To Cruiserweight

[GloriousG]

no one is beating Fast Eddie at cruiserweight! poor guy was just too undersized for the klits

[Killa Killa]

That is a really good option for him....

Only reason I would want to see him at HW is for either Adamek or Haye...

[vitali1999]

Theres a good idea

Hes to small for HW, but he can beat Haye, but if his goal is to unify then yeah he should go to Cruiser and stay there till the Klitschkos retire.

Chambers VS BJ Flores

make it happen.

[Heeb]

It'd be much better for his career.

[Lacrimosa]

I`ve always told that: Chambers would be a monstrous CW!!! That`s a great decision for him!

[MurderDeathKill]

Do that ****! CW is wide open. Chambers can be the man there. If he sticks around at HW he ain't breaking through the Klitschko monopoly. Haye might fight him, and Chambers could beat him. But why settle for second best? Chambers was too damn shook to use any of his skills against Wlad. He'll be right at home at CW. best move he can make right now.

[Pirao]

It's a good decision, he can win titles at CW and then move back up when the Klitschkos retire.

[WladIsTheChamp]

****** decision. There is no money at CW, even as a contender at HW, he is making more money than he would be making as a champion at CW. That's reason #1, as for reason #2, he will not necessarily do better. Look at how Byrd's move to LHW worked for him. Eddie's strength is his speed, if he drops down the guys will be just as fast if not faster and now he will also be weight-drained.
He did just fine against every other HW not named Klitschko. Close fight with undefeated former gold medalist Povetkin. Beat a former HW champion Samuel Peter, who has good power. Beat the undefeated 6'7" 250lbs former Olympic gold medalist Dimitrenko in Germany, knocking him down twice. In both the Peter and Dimitrenko fights he was the much smaller man. Obviously size is not the issue with Eddie. He just lost to an ATG HW in Wlad, doesn't mean he all of sudden should leave the division he has been so successful in.
Lighter guys have no problem against the super sized HWs if they have more skill- Diva Gaye and Adamek are just two current examples. Eddie has the skills and enough power to keep the bigger HWs honest. He should stay where he is and earn good money at HW, the CW division is a barren wasteland with zero marketability.

[WladIsTheChamp]

It wasn't the size of Wlad that knocked Eddie unconscious, it was his skill. Otherwise Chambers would have lost to Dimitrenko as well.
