    I'd enjoy seeing it. It'd be nice to see if he could break the 200 limit comfortably, however.

    If he could, he'd still have solid speed and more power than Cruiserweights are used to to go with the speed. He's laso a very solid boxer to begin with. Technique wise, he's above most Cruiserweights.

    Still, if he can't get down comfortably and safely, he should bide his time and hope to get a David Haye fight or Vitali fight.

      hes not too small for the division, he would beat virtually anyone but the Klitschko brothers...and theyre exception fighters.

      200lbs is enough to effectively compete and do well at HW. just ask Peter and Dimitrenko

        He could easily be the best CW in the world if he would move there and who knows he could be something of a boxer puncher because opponents his own size probably won't be able to take his punches as well as opponents 30-40lbs heavier than him.

          Eddie is still a good Heavyweight, but he needs to go a different route than chasing a Wlad rematch.
          Yeah he got better but he always looks a little pudgy. It may be more natural. Its more money than Cruiser.

            If Chambers was 6'3 with at least a 79" reach he would be capable of beating Wlad. But TC is right, Chambers is a CW.

              Byrd and Chambers are basically the same size, Chambers does have more pop in his punches.

                I can't see him doing anything more at heavyweight, if he could make the weight he should.

                  really, would be interesting to se him at cruiser I maybe his best option at this point..would be curious to see him vs an Adamek or Haye though..

                    In his best form he can still beat most heavyweights, and make more money doing it. I believe he'll fight Sam Peter next and become a mandatory again, although a rematch with Wladimir is surely not in his best interests. A certain career-ender there. Fights with Haye and Adamek though would be interesting, and even an old Vitali.

                      Chambers is a little undersized for the heavyweights, but his skill level is such that the only time it really played a factor was against the equally skilled but much harder punching Wlad. In fact if it weren't for Wlad I'd give Chambers a real live shot at winning a major title. He'd beat Povetkin in a rematch for certain, has an excellent chance against Adamek and would **** upcoming guys like Helenius or Boytsov for sure. I'd even give him a decent chance against Vitali to be honest, though he wouldn't be the favourite.
