Eddie Chambers
Is Chambers Good Enough To Win a Heavyweight Title?
By Manuel Perez: Heavyweight Eddie Chambers (34-1, 18 KOs) feels that he’s now ready for a title shot after his 10-round majority decision over former World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Samuel Peter last weekend at the Nokia Theater, in Los Angeles, California. I don’t want to be the one to break this to Chambers, but he didn’t look so hot against Peter. In fact, Chambers looked barely better than the huge 265 pound Peter, who came into the fight at an all time high in weight.

Haye Looking At Fighting Either Chambers or Barrett – Boxing News
By Scott Gilfoid: According to Dan Rafael from ESPN, the manager Adam Booth and his promoter for heavyweight contender David Haye (21-1, 20 KOs) are speaking with heavyweight contenders Eddie Chambers and Monte Barrett as potential opponents for Haye’s next fight on November 15th at the O2 arena in London. Haye, 27, recently was close to signing on 6’5″ American J.D. Chapman for the fight, but he backed out. Booth will have the final say so over who gets the pick – Barrett or Chambers – but both are fine fighters and Haye couldn’t go wrong by choosing either of them.
Chambers, 26, is ranked a little higher than Barrett at #8 in the IBF, and has excellent boxing skills and good power to go along with it. He’s probably the more dangerous of the two, although the 37 year-old Barrett just recently showed that he has respectable power of his own with a 1st round TKO over 6’9″ Tye Fields in June. Barrett, 37, is ranked #9 in the WBO, and has much more experience against top level opposition than Chambers. However, Barrett has also lost three out of his last six fights, albeit against mostly good competition in Nikolay Valuev, Hasim Rahman and Cliff Couser.
