    Who is your favorite currently active heavyweight?

    Poll coming. If it's someone not in the poll, indicate who with a post.

    Haye and Valuev have retired so they're not included. Chambers has been inactive for over a year and has been dropped from The Ring and BoxRec rankings.

    Chris Arreola if based on excitement level

    probably David haye next

    don't think I've ever enjoyed a klitschko fight, even lewis-vitali was sloppy as ****

    As for myself, I'll go with Wlad, although I'm not as excited as I normally am for one of his fights because it Mormeck.

    I am liking David Price, but he won't be that well known outside the UK I'd think.
    It's dire fare being served up in that division, it's ripe for a super six type thing.

    Here's six. (I use only 1 Klit as I can't put two in there obv).

    Price
    Fury
    Povetkin
    Wlad
    Arreola
    Perez

    I was thinking about putting Price in the poll, but he's not well-known yet. I think by the end of the year, if he's promoted wisely, many people outside the UK will have heard of him.

    I respect the Klits and recognize their skill, but their style is boring. Arreola is my favorite due to his fan pleasing style.

    He'll likely get his shot against Wlad in the fall.

    I like Seth Mitchell. He seems to have his head screwed on right, has good natural talent (used to play college ball i think) and has the natural size to compete with a Klit.

    David Price.

    Even though in the pro game he's a bit green I say he gives most on that list real trouble due to his size and pedigree.

    Chisora, Fury and Arreola are still some ways off technically but are bringing excitement back to the division in spades.
