    if the best heavweights not named Klitschko would fight each other.

    W.K. is fighting Wach and V.K. is fighting Charr. Wach and Charr should be fighting each other with the winner to get a shot at one of the Klitschko's.

    Haye has fought a Klitschko, so has Adamek... but they haven't fought each other. That's a fight I'd like to see.

    Povetkin is fighting Rahman who hasn't beat a decent fighter since his 12 round decision over Monte Barrett in August of 2005. Povetkin should be fighting Huck again or the winner of Haye vs. Adamek. Rahman should beat somebody with a pulse before getting another big fight.

    Marco Huck lost a questionable decision to Povetkin in his only fight at HW. He should be pushing hard for a rematch or a fight with some of the other former Cruiserweight Champs like Haye, Adamek, Mormeck, or a rematch with Cunningham. Cunningham stopped Huck in the 12th round in 2007.

    How about Chris Arreola vs. Tony Thompson?

    Odlanier Solis vs. Seth Mitchell

    Bermane Stiverne vs. Derek Chisora

    Tyson Fury vs. Robert Helenius

    Ruslan Chagaev vs. Michael Grant

    The winner of Kubrat Pulev vs. Alexander Usitnov should fight the winner of a fight between-

    Francesco Pianta vs. Kevin Johnson

    Denis Boytsov vs. Tor Hamer

    How about the old guys fight the old guys?

    Holyfield vs. McCall

    Rahman vs. Oquendo

    Monte Barrett vs. Mo Harris

    It's all about making good fights. I'm tired of watching the Klitschko's beat up on guys who aren't ready. They are both great but a fighter should have to at least but one decent fighter in recent memory to get a shot.

    Without the Klitschkos as an unattainable yardstick for the riff raff, the division becomes competitive. It's all relative.

    Haye isn't fighting anyone. He fights one fight a year and then brags about it until the end of time.

    Denis Boytsov is a bad fighter. Nice guy but a bad fighter. He hits hard but hasnt fought anyone good in 8 years. Also,he is inactive as hell. And he let some guys off the hook. He has no heart.

    Helenius is still makin excuses about his hurt shoulder and how he would have beat Dereck if this that and the other...

    Fury has been busy padding his record with cab drivers (Literally,Martin Rogan was a cab driver) and old shot washed up fighters. Fury ducked Wilder and Price.

    Arreola has a bad injury right now but is involved with the WBC title eliminator. Set to fight Bermane Stiverne.

    Povetkin is a *****.

    Seth Mitchell is fighting next month.

    The Klitschkos should fight each other.

    Never before in history have two fighters been allowed to team up, lump their accomplishments together, fight each other's opponents, and never have to fight each other. All the while being called ATG's and rulers of the division. C'mon people.

    What American fighters?
    Arreola has a fight booked and so does Seth Mitchell. That is true.
    What's your point?

    yet you spit vitriol at every other (non american) on the list.

    get over it man, Europe owns the heavyweight Division, nobody is ducking your "prospects" Arreola has had his chances and failed miserably, now he fights nothing but bums

    Seth Mitchell is 31 years old, and going down the Arreola path, fighting american gatekeepers in fun fights but not looking anything like a genuine threat on the world stage

    Wilder, he's the worst at all, yet to even fight a decent journeyman.

    And that's it, thats what you got.

    look in the mirror before having a go at the European lads

    Yeah Europe owns the division and coincidentally it's ****.
    I only stated facts. Arreola is gonna fight Stiverne next. Mitchell is fighting Jon Banks,Klitschko sparring partner. Decent opponent.

    And Wilder wanted to fight Fury but Fury ducked.
    Fury is still fighting cab drivers literally. Martin Rogan was a cab driver!
    David Price is 30 years old too and he's still fighting **** and hasnt done ****.

    That's a good point the contenders should fight each other and recently some of them are actually doing it.

    How exactly is Ruslan Chagaev, a former Heavyweight Champion of the World, a cab driver caliber fighter?

    I think we can safely say Arreola is out of the WBC sweepstakes

    he hasn't fought in 9 months, is still injured and currently weighs about 350lb

    he's done
