Is the best indication of Klitschko v Haye Eddie Chambers?

But eddie doesnt move his feet much. He plants himself in front of wlad and holds his guard up. Wlad, having little to fear, simply fired away often at eddies gloves and often got through.

Haye hardly stands stationary like that, which i think will be an important factor.

No chambers isn't in the kind of shape that haye is in and he's no where near as versitile a fighter.

Absolutely yes. Chambers was picking his punches incredibly well but just lacked size/ strength/ explosiveness to really execute.

I don't think David is as smart a puncher as Chambers though but it's worth a good go.

Well sort of, but eddie didnt step in enough, and as much as i like eddie, he likes to wait a bit too long and rarely takes the initiative. He likes to wait and counter but his shots lack power and with his size, he had a short reach.

I agree. I mean I expect David to take his time but there was absolutely no pressure from Eddie when it was due
