He has good skill, but Rossy is a pretty raw fighter. He's more skilled than most heavies, but he's at a huge size disadvantage. Byrd still looked fit at that weight. He looks like a small heavy. 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.
What was he 215? 40 pounds? I don't know. I think he should move to cruiser for a bit though. But he has some tremendous skill. He is very fast and got a couple 4 punch combos off. 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.

Another heavyweight to look for, not just yet but in the coming years, is Aaron Williams.
