American Heavies V British Heavies

Not trolling but in recent events no one seems to be able to dethrone the Klitschko brothers. before they came along boxings glamour division was ruled previously by Lennox Lewis, before that Holyfield and Tyson and before that the likes of Holmes, Ali, Frazier, Foreman etc. etc.

So between Americans and Brits create a top 10 from the 2 nations

1. David Haye - Despite the whole toe scenario he was able to land hard on Wlad and hurt him and was the first fighter since Ibragimov to go the distance

2. Derek Chisora - Despite a loss to Tyson Fury (where he came in overweight) Chisora bounced back with 2 more losses a robbery to Helenius and a brave effort vs Vitali. hes proved hes a strong contender

3. Eddie Chambers - Probably the most skilled heavyweight from the states, he gave the best fight from an american vs a Klitschko but fell short being stopped in the last round. Still his win over Dimitrenko and effort vs Wladimir is good enough to put him in 3rd for now

4. David Price - Whilst he is largely untested his physical skills are clearly on show. Demolishing fellow brits Sexton, Dallas and Mcdermott in double quick time Price scared Fury out of a fight and should be rightfully rated above

5. Tyson Fury - Fury is perhaps the Froch of heavweight. Extremely basic but never in a boring fight. His chin has proven shaky on more than one occasion and the clumsy oaf hit himself in the face. regardless Fury shows he can fight differently, has good power in both hands and has good fundamentals.

6. Kevin Johnson - Was able to cut Vitali and avoided from being stopped. Johnson was still dominated but still withstood the Klitschko onslaught til the final bell and to this day is his only blemish

7. Seth Mitchell - Still early days but shows great power in both hands and a shaky chin. Stopped Witherspoon in his latest test despite being shook but showed good heart. be interesting to see how he develops

8. Chris Arreola - Lost and was made to cry by the older brother and lost to former LHW Adamek. has put on a string of comeback wins since then but hasnt fought anyone of note

9. Amir Mansour - Still largely untested but has some decent wins over the usual fighters youd expect on an american heavyweight record.

10. Michael Sprott - Forget the loss to Audley Harrison, there is such a thing as a lucky punch. Sprott was robbed by Dimitrenko and in my eyes won the 3 rounder with Tye Fields.

So on my list its 5 all with the brits mostly ranking higher. will be interesting to see how you guys across the pond rank heavyweights

 

Im talking about current heavyweights btw
