    I like Chris Arreaola but IMO his style no matter how much he improves and gain experience would never beat Vitali. He may have a chance against Wlad though.
    An empty can is always noisy.

    I'm not sold on him at all just yet, I think he has ok skills and good power. Average as far as todays Heavies go.

    well since he TKO'ed Damian Wills in 2006 he has gone on a rampage, destroying several fellow prospects.

    and Who else could Klitscko fight (besides a joke fight where Haye cashes out)?

    he wont fight his brother

    chagave and valuev are tied up fighting to be undisputed minor league champion

    Maskaev is in line for a WBC Mandatory

    and Gomez is fighting his brother

    That being said, I think Arreola is the best choice, and in my opinion, has the aggression and power that could cause wlad some problems.

    Couldn't agree more. He can punch and that's about it.

    Doesn't seem to be enough of an athlete to me. Bit of a chunky fella who can punch if you allow him enough of a shot. Won't cut it against Wlad or Vitali IMO.

    Im not to sure if he deserves it but on paper i think he is the best option im sure every boxing fan would rather see Wlad v Arreola rather than say someone like Mccline or another old name who is shit, if this fight happens i will be quite pleased.

    I would agree that Arreola is the best American HW right now and would be the fighter I would like to see Wlad face next if Haye doesnt work out. That being said I doubt Arreola lasts 5 rounds with the Steelhammer. I mean Wlad always comes in prepared and in tip top shape and Arreola doesnt.....

    Couple that with the fact that Wlad is more experienced, bigger, more powerful, techinically sound, patient.....Wait, Wlad KO3...

    Just shows how sorry the american prospects are right now......Young athletes would rather focus on the NFL.

    I wonder if the fact that Wlad was KO'ed by Sanders actually hurts the opponents that come in to face him......They get a false sense of hope that Wlad has a weak chin and all they have to do is land one shot (and maybe dont prepare fully) when in reality Wlad is a different fighter and is much harder to get to...

    If Chambers beats Peter, he will righlty lay claim to being the best American heavyweight in my opinion. While Fast Eddie is not exactly svelt, Chris is a slob.
