    Would ANY current h/w "contender" be competetive against the atg's?

    Chagaev, Areolla, Chambers, Povetkin.

    would any of these guys have been competetive or won a title in other eras?

    Maybe chambers, I would like to see Foreman knock them out one by one in the same night.

      I personally think Chambers is much better than given credit for and that many ATGs are not really as good any many make them out to be so, yeah.

        Chambers is actually skilled as ****, just way too damn small for the division, he would get killed by any great HW from the Liston era on.

            Is that a stone to a Klitschko's garden? Because, well, these guys were far from competative against either brother.

              He is way too small for guys like either K-bro, Lennox, most likely very young Tyson stops him, he could be competitive with Holyfield in a losing effort but I am very unimpressed with the 60s and 70s HWs when I watch vids of them and think Chambers is live against any of those guys.

                You missed Adamek who just moved up. I think he's good enough.

                  Honestly you think Chamber's could compete with Foreman, Frazier, Norton, or Ali???

                    Arreola would have ended Tyson's life.

                    Chagaev would have given Lennox such a hard time.

                    Shannon Briggs would have destroyed Ali.
