Hearing this!!
Tough test if true.
8 - Eddie Chambers
His only loss is to fellow contender Povetkin in a final eliminator, boxes well but lacks the zing in his punches to carry him over the finish line. Like Johnson, would be a hungry opponent and that may serve Haye better in the long run than an unsatisfactorily quick knockout of a faded household name but there have been rumours Team Haye has been compiling videos of the American.
Chances of facing Haye: Looking strong
Hope your right.I would be gutted if they anounced he was fighting a no name bum.Quote:

If this is true and its jd chapman, then Haye really is just a gobshite, specially seeing as Johnson and Barret are willing to take the short cash and travel for it;D
David Haye Bails on Kevin Johnson, JD Chapman Now in? - Boxing News
It is Chapman apparently:rolleyes:
He crapped his pants when he watched videos of kevin Johnson and wanted nothing to do with Toney or Barret;D
He thought hed get a straight shot at Klitschko by mouthing off, he thinks he'll emulate Sanders and blitz him;D;D;D
A bout against Chambers would have been a cop-out. There's nothing dangerous about him- he's not a true heavyweight. Like Chris Byrd, he put weight on his trunk and is able to retain his handspeed. A gassed-out Povetkin was able to put Chambers into his shell. Haye is probably stronger and would do pretty much the same thing on the way to a relatively easy victory after 6 rounds of patty-cake from Eddie.
Ha ha, read this, Haye is looking like a right wally, he hasnt got em to sign anything but announces fights, what a twat;D
Boxing: Haye press conference - Setanta Sports
Good stuff. Chamber's and Witherspoon are good freinds and sparring partner's. Maybe I can sneak in there and get a few rounds with Chamber's before he fight's Haye. :lhdevil:
yeah that sucks nevermind
...chambers is a decent test, i expected more from him against povatakin (hope i spelled that right) he frustrated me the same way juarez does with his lack of aggressiveness, but the guy seems to have an ok chin (haye will definatly test that) and is super fast for his size, he's a heavyweight boxer really. That being said if he was so protective in his last fight i don't see how he is going to be able to stand up the wirlwind haye is going to bring early, not sure who i'd pick though...
