    American HW's have been drip fed to the Klitchko's for a couple of years now with the predictable outcome. To halt the slide what about a tournament -last man standing gets to meet 1 of the brothers

    Who would you pick for the tournament?

    1. Chambers
    2. Brewster
    3. Johnson
    4. Arreola
    5. Estrada
    6. Toney
    7. Thompson
    8. Scott

    Arreola. He'd outwork his only real competition, Chambers.

    Should there be other names on the list, or is the quality of HW's in the USA that poor?

    It doesn't even matter. Vitali would toy with them like he's playing a video game.

    There are only 3 Americans on your list

    PS - I note you mention Haye twice. Is this a typo, or that you rank him that highly!!!

    1. Haye
    2. Chambers
    3. Povetkin
    4. Tua
    5. Solis
    6. Arreola
    7. Briggs
    8. Brewster

    Maybe not the 8 best HWs out there, but that's who i'd pay to see knock each others heads off....

    Remove Chambers and put in Austin. Chambers has earned his shot already. For that matter, drop Scott and put in Minto.

    Doing that, who knows? Everyone's a question mark. Johnson; maybe Aerreola if he takes things seriously. Toney would be too old (if he isn't already) by the time the thing ended.

    Brewster lost his last fight to a nobody. Forget about him and add Minto.

    A very worrying list for American boxing - only 1 fighter is his 20's and 3 fighters in their 40's
