    I actually like Eddie Chambers but I know I'm practically alone in that. I would say maybe throw Boytsov in there but I didn't find him exactly to be a thrill a minute against Bidenko.

    Just avoid the Ibragimovs, Chagaev, Ruiz, McCline, Sam Peter, any short guy that just tries to survive against Wlad, etc.

    Not saying its a good division but there are watchable fights out there.

    Any ideas? Not including an Ibragimov?
    The problem is i don't see these fights happening anytime soon, David Haye isn't gonna be risked against those 2 opponents. There too high risk/low reward.

    I doubt there gonna risk Chris Arreola anytime soon aswell, there gonna carefully keep picking his opponents for atleast another year. And Alexander Povetkin what the hell has happened to him ?

    He seems to have fallen off the radar i thought he won a title eliminator shot ? yet he's had to waste his time on two unknown opponents.

    Haye's in charge of himself. Whilst they're unbeaten the other two wouldn't be risked against Haye unless he had a title.

    If you're not going to eventually challenge the Klitschko's then I guess they might as well fight Valuev now....because if you can't beat those guys you aren't coming close to beating Wladimir or Vitali...but if you want them to fight each other, that's ok I guess...suite me fine, throw Odlainer Solis in the mix as well

    i like Chambers, he's got a good work ethic, but does seem to lack dedication in preparing himself sometimes, but he's not as boring as Byrd, he's willing to take on the best, and i think that that deserves some credit

    Good work ethic He disappears for rounds at a time!!! If he threw ANYTHING in the second half of the fight vs Povetkin he could have KO'd Alex!!!! If he had stamina IF....he'd be a very good heavyweight prospect, his defense is just that good and his counter punching is very sharp.

    I do think Alexander Dimitrenko will beat him senseless though...he's another one you guys ought to talk about, that body shot he KO'd Krasniqi with was pretty damn good. Dimitrenko is flawed but he has some pretty good tools.

    i'm not one to bash Wlad, but he also tends to disappear for rounds and get a bit sloppy and hug happy, Chambers is a very small heavyweight, and doesn't really have much pop in his punches, but makes up for it with technique and skill, his win over Peter IMO is bigger than anything Povetkin has done, including his win over Byrd
