    This is a good matchup.

    Rankings of heavyweights I have any interest in

    1. Wlad
    2. Eddie Chambers
    3. Povetkin
    4. Haye
    5. Chazz Witherspoon
    6. Albert Sosnowski
    7. Vitali Klitschko

    Really that should be spaced out more. I like this matchup but I don't think Eddie will win but he is definitely the most talented guy a Klitschko has faced in a while.

    Eddie should have insisted on Olympic style drug testing.

    This is his chance to become an American HERO. Unfortunately it probably won't happen. Next heavyweight with a chance to be an American HERO: David Haye.

    hell no, this fight is gonna be boring as hell.

    If these guys were Welterweights fighting, this shit wouldn't even be broadcasted.

    I honestly think guys like Brewster, Peters, Ibragimov, Chagaev, CHambers, Brock wouldn't be bad fighters in the heavyweight division in any era. I think they all would have had the potential to make it to the top 10 of any era of boxing, but some of them likes Peters would have had to have been more focused or in the same shape as he was when he faced Wladimir or better.

    I think Wladimir gets flack for dominating them, but I honestly don't think very many of the all-time greats would have dominated these guys the same way. Chagaev and Ibrigamov are quick, well schooled, tough boxers. Peters(when he was 240 or less) was quick handed, tough beard, and tough to beat. Chambers has incredibly fast hands and he has a really good guard, but I think he has the same problems Clottey has against top opposition. Brock was an awkward guy like Norton and I think he would have given the boxers of the past a hard time and the sluggers would have destroyed him.

    Its hard to get excited about this fight when youve seen Wvlad box before. He is as exciting to watch as staring at paint dry and his opponent has all the ambition as a man on death row. Chambers just has the look of a Thompson or Johnson who will turn up, try to survive then give up.

    Hayes bringing it whoever he fights. He was too cautious vs Valuev but I can forgive 1 boring fight. All Wvlads fights though are boring so until they fight each other I think I might give Saturday night a miss.

    Chambers will find some success even if Vlad wins most rounds. My take is at times he'll get inside the height of Vlad and score, but it won't be often enough to win the fight. The fight should be more exciting than most Vlad fights. I wish it were being shown by american television.

    In terms of heavyweights, the next fight I'm actually excited about is the Adamek v. Arreola scrap in April. That should be a slugfest.

    This isn't a fight I am all that interested in. As usual I will be pulling for the tubby short underdog and as per usual he will probably lose. But I'm not really bothered either way.

    Its such a shame really, adamek-arreola = interesting, haye-ruiz = interesting

    Its not eddies fault that the guy he is fighting is just too good for him. Wlad should be designated to a select few fighters ala:haye, povetkin and possibly adamek somewhere down the line

    Vitali may as well just retire. He aint ever getting beat by anything around at the moment and all barring a haye overhand right its pretty much a done deal he`ll be retiring with just the 2 on his loss record

    Adamek-Arreola should be a fun fight. I'm less interested in Ruiz- Haye because of Ruiz but also Haye's awful Valuev showing.

    I would much rather see Haye and Povetkin get the slot next time out. I'm not so sure about Adamek yet, but hopefully he will do well against Arreola and indicate that he can do more.

    And why on earth are we still seeing John Ruiz in big fights? The fact that this chump is still around tells you everything about the heavyweight division in the 21st century.

    the valuev fight was never gonna be anything more than ugly

    Neither guy was ever knocking either man out. The rare moments valuev actually let his hands go he felt the power and went back on the defence.

    Wont be the same with ruiz. He`ll get in hayes face the whole time and try to make a fight out of it. Haye will inevitably begin to drop his hands and thats when the fun will start to begin.
