Or if he loses tomorrow against Dimitrenko.

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.
