Chagaev was the best available opponent excluding his brother. Chambers was one of the best available also and I believe he was the mando. Opponents like Peter and Chisora are symptomatic of the rest of the division (Haye, Povetkin etc) being shook by Wlads prior performances.

Ruslan Chagaev was a top 5 HW; world champion in both pros and amateurs; had never been down before; prime age: 9.5
Chambers was a top 5 heavyweight; had never been down before; has world-class skills; prime age: 9.5
Sam Peter was ranked in the top ten by BoxRec and IBO; is a former world champion; prime age: 8
Average of those three: 9
Chisora although undefeated and never been down, is less proven (he just has a win over the faded Williams and two over Sexton, plus some quality amateur achievements) so I give him just a 6 out of 10.Comment
