Chambers needs to buy himself some running shoes, get off James Toney's diet program, and get his ass down to Cruiser where he could be a force of nature.

I really like Chambers. I like his skill, his counterpunching, and his speed. If previous fights, I like his combo's. I was rooting for him hard last night, but he's just too small to be a real modern HW. I don't think he was lazy last night. I think he was scared to get hit, and I think he got discouraged when his sharp counters didn't slow Povetkin down. Then he was waiting for Povetkin to get gassed, and when that didn't happen, all that pounding on his arms had taken his toll and he realized that if he got caught flush he was in trouble. He didn't have the bullets in the gun for late push with Povetkin continuing to keep up the pace.

So seriously, the guy needs to do some running if he wants to be a world champ, otherwise, he'll have a nice little career of beating up pretenders and journeymen. If he stays at heavy, he MAY be able to hange around an pick up an alphabet strap (hell, Lyahovich SP? and Shannon Briggs did), but he would really be better off at Cruiser.

As for Povetkin - the current Wlad will kill him. Povetkin would have had a chance against the old Wlad, but I think he's evolved enough and Povetkin leaves himself open enough that Wlad's right is going to land it's going to do more than leave a mouse under the eye. I'm hoping Wlad fights Tony Thompson after the Sultan fight and puts off Povetkin. Tony will be his WBO mandatory then, and The Tiger deserves a shot.
