not seen this guy but for the ones who have tell me if this guy has a shot at becoming hw champ
way too soon to judge.
Next champ? He has a while to go.
He's real big. Constantly moving forward. Throws over 100 punches a round and has some pop. I think in a year or so he'll be a player. One problem though. Before he wore out, Mike Alexander was making him look silly by sticking and moving. It takes a while for him to put anything together after the jab sometimes. And when he's on the inside, he has a tendency to get into a real wide stance and swing real wide. Almost smothers. But from what I saw on Youtube of his last fight (not the one this weekend) he was more cool and relaxed and got the guy out of there.
But he's definitely a guy to keep an eye on. Jabs top to bottom real well, throws a beautiful straight right hand and hooks absolutely beautifully off of the jab. Everything is off the jab. And now his power seems to be developing.
He'll be champ someday I think. And out of all the heavyweight contenders, he is the most fun to watch so him getting a shot won't be a problem.
cc amat thanks for telling me about him never seen him myself but heard he is next big thing in hw divisionQuote:

He's a fat chris byrd. Full of feather-fisted excitement!
Never seen him fight. What do you guys make of Eddie Chambers?
He looked pretty good against that NFL dude last week but he's podgy and only 210 lbs so really should be fighting at cruiser.
Byrd is a defensive minded fighter...Witherspoon is all offense.Quote:

Chambers looks like he could make 175 if he really wanted. My first reaction to seeing him was that he should change him name to "Fat" Eddie Chambers. He would be a monster at cruiser, and he'll do OK against mediocre HW's, but he's way to small to compete with the Peter, the Klits, or Brock. I think even Briggs or Maskaev would be too much for him. Perhaps we can match him with James Toney in battle of young fat v old fat.Quote:

He didn't wear down at all in 7 rounds and he had tremendous poise. Also had good shot selection. I think cruiser would be the place for him to be though and I think he could be an immediate factor. Trim down some fat, bulk up on muscle and then try your hand at the heavies. But weight aside he was really good.Quote:
