Yeah but he puts in cowardlike performances once he gets hit hard. He just starts blocking and holding, doesnt even try to go offensive.

To be honest, I'd like his chances against Haye.

Chambers has quick hands and underrated power but he's slow afoot and he'd get circles run around him.

#1 Actually test himself as a heavyweight (in no order): Povetkin, Sam Peter, Tomaz Adamek, Eddie Chambers, Cris Arreola, Holyfield, Pianetta, Boytsov

#2 Another easy fight (in no order): Dimitrenko, Krasniqi, Dominick Guinn, Timur Ibragimov, Hasim Rahman, Valuev II, Sergei Lyakhovich, James Toney, Mormeck II, Tarver, Roy Jones Jr. (Sad to say it)

knowing him the way we all do he'll go for the easy option everytime

Not even the good Ibragimov. It'll be Rahman I tell ya.

---

yeah i can see it to....they'll build Rahman up.......the former linea heavyweight champion of the world who knocked lennox lewis out with a single shot, he's been in there with the best including Holyfield, ( all of a sudden they'll say he pushed Wlad all the way until he got caught with a lucky punch) Rahmans a top tier fighter the last 10 years etc etc etc.....thats what they do, B.S everyone to give it the build up you'd get if a prime tyson was fighting a prime holyfield

Apologies for that one Boogie....... It was just simply a reference to is condition. He's a good boxer, I agree, but if he was actually in great condition, he would be a cruiserweight. He always looks fat IMO.

Was it you?! ;D

Tbh, I agree. If he can make CW, I think he should too. His power would shine though.
