    Definitely. Just wait till John Ruiz comes back and murders everyone in his path. Ruiz KO1 Klitschko.

    So small fat Chambers and bigger and much fatter Arreola are the two best US prospects now?

    if thats true, that kicks ass. i remember seeing him fight thinking he was the future of the hw division for america, but i thought he got drafted into the nfl or somethin.

    at any rate, tor hamer doesnt really impress me, but hell make some noise.

    deonte wilder is the best hope for the us. he has size, skills, speed, and power. in fact, i bet even at this stage in his career he could make a competitive fight with or even beat a guy like arreola.

    until wilder comes up in rank, though, well have to settle for chambers and chris.

    lol...the USA doesn't need the heavyweight division...why?...because it's basically got half the top 10 p4p on lock...

    Mayweather, Hopkins, Mosley, Williams, and Dawson.

    Cotto too if you include Puerto Rico...which belongs to America.

    Yep. That's right....in case you didn't know...America OWNS Boxing.

    Chambers is cannon fodder for Wlad, he is a carbon copy of Chris Byrd.

    You are not going to beat Wlad by standing infront of him with your arms up trying to counter what he is throwing, you need to draw leads from him and get him out of position, make him reach by give him lateral movement etc.

    Chambers is not a copy of Chris Byrd. Eddie Chambers can not carry Chris Byrd's jock strap!
    Chris Byrd was WAY more talented than Chambers.

    Well you get the picture, they both had the same style that is reliant on drawing you inside to counter, that will not work against Wlad.

    That is all im saying.

    This is a right on the money. One of the things that Chambers dominance over Dimetrenko - and Wlad's dominence over Chagaev - showed is that the Klitschko's are head and shoulders above the rest of these East European fighters, who, while good, are beatable.

    They are very similar in size and through the fact that they´re both defensive minded and have fast hands. But that´s all. Their styles are still different. I for my part think that Eddie would do better against Wlad than Byrd did, as Eddie is better in his offensive game. What he did to Dimitrenko was pretty impressive. I love Byrd, he´s may favourite fighter of all time, but would not say that he was WAY more talented than Eddie.

    I don't think they will gain dominance for at least 10 years. But they may get a decent champ in 5+ after both Klitschko's retire.
