    I knew I would be able to get at least one of our American friends to bite.


    After years of British heavyweights getting slated by the US boxing fans and press you cant blame use for gloating a small bit.(even if I would love a good american HW to clean up the division)

    Too bad we cannot make a sort of Frankenstein out of all.It would take a piece of each to make a major player.Life long Holyfield fan but that ship has to and should have already sailed.

    Think Chambers is currently the best skilled and pure boxer.But we've seen Chris Byrd already...and frankly Byrd fought with more intensity,ugh.I'll go with Kevin Johnson.He's still a toss up but fast hands,height-size to compete,confidence in bundles.I think he'll have a tough time getting huge fights....Arreola if your going for raw pure power.

    How big is the US compared to the UK ? Obviously its going to have more and better heavyweights. But who has the best heavyweight out both the US and UK ? David Haye, without doubt. You cant say anybody on that list would beat Haye.

    You can't beat someone when they back out of a fight

    I'm a bit shocked some people thing Holyfield would do better against Wlad or Vitali than Eddie Chambers.

    I would honestly fear for Evander's safety were he to be put in there with either of them.

    We saw James Toney take him apart and that was several years ago.

    If he fought either Klitschko he could end up seriously damaged.

    Chambers would do ok against Wlad, he'd be all but shut down offensively and would just be looking to survive the late rounds but he wouldn't be seriously hurt.

    Evander on the other hand is so old, and so slow he'd just get beaten up and stopped inside 6 rounds.

    It wouldn't even be competitive.

    Same with James Toney, I have no idea if the guy he is facing next is any good, I doubt he is, but I do know this, Toney, if he wins at all, will only win by a gnat's breath and will look absolutely fucking awful,

    They are both at the stage Gatti was when he got knocked out by Alfonso Gomex and have no business being in the ring any more.

    I say that as huge fans of both, they just need to be told when to quit.

    I'd say Chambers. His recent wins over Peter and Dimitrenko put him above the others for me. Although I think Arreola has a better chance against the Klitschko's.

    Eddie Chambers is clearly the best of that group.

    I went with Chambers, who has very good fundamentals & looks good when he lets his hands go

    But I'll be paying closer attention to Johnson should he be impressive against Solis
