American Heavyweights

[El Kabong]

Sure Wilder is being moved along slowly he was very raw coming up even as the bronze medalist. He also has a body that hasn't reached the point where his frame is totally filled in. At this point in time why rush the guy Do you want him to get a shot at a Klitschko or would you rather prepare him for what comes next? Deontay and his team can afford to take their time.

Seth Mitchell is an American heavyweight that comes to fight in shape. He's a hard worker in the ring and seemingly durable.

Joe Hanks has balance to his game, he looks like a boxer, he acts like a boxer...I think out of all of them he has the best chance.


Again with Amir Mansour?!?!?! You know why Amir Mansour doesn't get press He's 5'11 and 39 years old, that's why he gets no press!!! Sweet merciful crap man....look to the FUTURE. Wilder 26 years old, Mitchell 29, Hanks 28....these guys will probably fight until they are as old as Amir Mansour is right now

He lives in my city so I'm a bit biased as to Mansour. I can't help it.

I hear you on moving Wilder slowly, but he could be fighting someone with a pulse by now. He's giving Chavez Jr. a run for his money, maybe even taking him out for a record of easy fights in a row. Say what you want about Chavez Jr., but at pretty much the same stage in his career, he fought Carlos Molina twice. I'm just suspicious of why Wilder is being brought along so slowly. That's all.

Mitchell could be good. The jury is still out, but I'm curious to see how he performs on Saturday.

What is the name of the Latin heavyweight from Texas maybe that is 30-0? I can't remember his name.

Good call, Lyle.

Wouldn't an American heavyweight S6 tournament be fun with the fighters you named? Throw in Mansour and maybe someone like Travis Kaufman and/or Marciuz Wach and you have yourself some solid heavyweight scraps.

How about Darrell Madison? Kevlvin Price (beat Tor Hamer)?

I really like Hanks, he's got solid confidence AND he's a nice guy...hard not to root for him

To be totally honest all roads point to the lot of them being totally shit , just like the last ten years of American heavyweights
