American heavyweights.......

So who do you guys think is the best of the current batch of American heavies?

Damn that's a tough list. I went with Chambers.Arreola a close close second. I think Chambers is the all around best fighter. Kevin Johnson is up there as well I would like to see him fight someone a little tougher now.

I went with fast Eddie. Toney and Holyfield are done, Arreola is an exciting guy and I like him but he's not proved himself against the kind of competition Eddie has yet.

I also think Arreola is one of those fighters who once he has been beat will fade just Sam Peter, whereas Chambers has shown himself capable of learning from his losses and continuing to improve.

Arreola's high point will come next month, after he gets smashed, as he almost certainly will, his career will fade whereas Eddie could lose a world title fight but still keep himself in the rankings and work his way back thanks to better boxing skills and more discipline and dediction to the sport than Arreola has shown.

Chambers.

Who voted for Toney?

Man thats a real tough question, and I really stuggled for an answer basically because I didn't know whether to judge it by who would beat the rest in the list or who would have the best chance against Wlad who is the man in the division right now.

In the end I went for the man who I think would be the best in the list and chose Eddie Chambers, although this may seem strange to some people but of that list I think Evander would still have the best chance against Wlad. I'm not for one minute saying that he would beat him but Evander is and old pro whos been around the block and still seems to have one of the best chins in the game so for me his experience and chin could get him inside Wlads jab once or twice and if he gets there we all know Wlad is rather suspect in the chin area.

But back to Chambers, I don't think he will have much joy Vs Wlad but against the rest of the Americans he is IMO just too crafty and the two men who were better (Toney and Holyfield) are just too old!

Damn we suck lol. I'm hoping there is a heavyweight that is up and coming not on that list yet that might step up. Its a shame because these heavyweights are squandering their career which are not on the list. Faruq Saleem 38-0 David Rodriguez 31-0 Malik Scott 32-0 and Donnell Holmes 31-0. Maybe Travis Kaufman will step up. But in the mean time I voted for Arreola who will probably get killed by Vitali.

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
