Anyone else agree that Chambers should drop to CW? Even if he defeats Dimitrenko I think he's too small to beat Wlad, he would do great things at CW. Of course, if he beats Dimitrenko he gets a title shot, so I'm talking after he fights Wlad, assuming he loses (which he probably will), he should drop to CW IMO. Or if he loses tomorrow against Dimitrenko.

That's awesome. I'm definitely glad to see Eddie's in great shape for the Dimintrenko fight tomorrow.

Anyone think he can actually win it? the size difference alone is pretty substantial....though at least eddies trimmed down some..

I disagree. He's a top 10 HW who has held his own against the best in the division, never been knocked down and never been hurt in a fight. Even if he never wins a title, being in the mix at HW will earn him more exposure and more money than winning a title at CW.

Many of the recent U.S. title holders--Ruiz, Byrd, Holyfield, Moorer--fought at CW or below before winning a title. Take the Klitshkos, both of whom are older than Chambers, out of the equation and who does he have no chance against? Everyone matches up poorly against the Klitshkos in today's game.

Chambers is tested at this level no matter what his size is.This is Dimitrenko's first real test against a top contender in almost thirty fights,I think chambers is a really good pick on a decision win

Chambers is chubby at 210. If he actually cut weight he should be fighting at 175. He's actually small by cruiserweight standards...

...maybe Chambers could cut even more than that, Hard-on Iron, and meet Pacquiao at catchweights...
