Who's the best American heavyweight

Brickhaus · 09-13-2007, 11:59 AM

Yes, I know they all suck, but I'm curious as to what people's thoughts are on this.

Brickhaus · 09-13-2007, 12:04 PM

Ack, should have included Holyfield (HA!) instead of Fields. Sorry about that...

AmazingHook · 09-13-2007, 12:06 PM

At the moment....Probably Calvin Brock.

I'm inclined to agree. How Byrd and Chambers also do in this tournament might affect my perceptions though.

I have to say Eddie chambers in terms of new up and coming talent with the best potential, but his chin hasnt been tested yet.

Fab2333 · 09-13-2007, 12:17 PM

Brock is pretty good

Damn, what a sad list from which to choose. No quorum.

Shpion · 09-13-2007, 12:22 PM

Aside from Klitschko debacle, Brock looks like a solid HW in all areas.

LogDog69 · 09-13-2007, 12:23 PM

I can't even vote. None of them stand out as anything positive. I mean I guess it would have to be between Brock and Byrd. Byrd hadn't lost in 7 years before Wlad and Brocks only loss was to Wlad and they both got knocked out in the same round so I guess it would be about equal.

If they all sucked then why don't you do anything about it.

I greatly believe that Brock will put Chambers to sleep, and Byrd/Povetkin winner will soon follow the same fate. Too bad Brock will then be stopped by Wlad again.

I'll take Thompson.

I like Brewster hes the only one on the list that makes decent fights to watch, if he losses Buddy and gets his old diehard attitude back hes a tough fight for anyone in the division.
