USA Heavyweights improving

not a bad crop ? did you watch Banks last outing ? Arreola lost vs Stiverne and looked finished, Wilder still to step it up, Thompson KO's someone with a worst chin than Amir Khan he's still the same fighter as a year ago, Jennings untested, Mitchell going nowhere, Malik Scott is the best out of that but aside from that there ain't much to shout about yet.

 

mediocre at best

 

Better than the Brits.

It's a start.

 

Maybe but we still need more atsch
:smoke

 

I'm a big supporter of Jennings and Scott, they both need to step up the opposition though.

 

how is that so? Haye and Fury would crush those cans with ease.

who out of them bums beat Haye? then tell me who beats Fury? :think

 

Haye has won ONE fight since 2010 and has only one win over someone not named Audley Harrison in 3 1/4 years. I'd call him semi-retired. He flopped like a trained seal against Wlad and would do the same against any (non-British) top-tier heavyweight.

Fury gets dropped routinely by cruiserweights. Any true heavyweight further exposes his shaky whiskers.

 

Banks- good fighter but a former cruiser...is really not going to threaten a Klit or someone like Pulev.

Thompson- good fighter, but 41 and a two time championship loser. Will not have much impact on the division.

Scott- showed some mad skills against Glazkov, but in his 30's already and his boxing style does not age well.

Wilder- that cheeeeen!

Mitchell- Knocked out by Banks, he avenged it with a decision, but have a feeling he isn't going anywhere.

Arreola- just lost to Stiverne. Every time he steps up he gets rolled.

Also...

Bryant Jennings- Keeps winning but showing some flaws

Joe Hanks- has a big fight with Andy Ruiz coming up...we shall see

Chambers- should concentrate on crusiers but says he will still fight at heavy. Great skills, but for some reason, has not been able to get over the finish line in big fights.

Not bad, but nobody really sticks out.

 

and i'd still favour him against any of the fighters on that list

quality spread is in usa's favour though. tyson fury and david price just aren't cutting it

 

Thompson is, by far, the best American heavyweight...............

 

Only Banks, Wilder and pensioner Thompson are worth a ****, rest are pure garbage.

 

atsch god, when you Yanks get a little success you always let it go to your heads. Price was always a fighter on hold until his chin was tested. well it was and it got cracked by a light punch. second time out it was his stamina. so chill with the quite clear crazy talk because you're heading for some serious egg on face. :deal

Haye beats everyone not named Wladimir. the only other guy that stands a chance is Fury, and that's due to Haye being out for so long. he'd absolutely crush anything out of the states. in fact, he wouldn't lower himself to fight such poor opposition. so stop with the delusional talk will you.

Fury beats everyone on that list with ease as well. your guys aren't that good. :deal

that shot from Cunningham was a solid shot over the top, he got all his power behind it. Fury went down, but he wasn't hurt. you should remember that it was your boy who got smoked up with 1 shot. the way people go on, you'd think that Steve won the fight. he didn't.
that shot was heavier than any Thompson shot he's ever thrown. Toney isn't a puncher by a wide margin. Cunningham is also far more skilled and proven than is Toney. :deal

 

Banks and Wilder are pure garbage. Thompson isn't that far off being a total bum. don't let his wins over the fragile Price fool you.

Andy Ruiz is good though. if the Yanks want to put there faith in one of their guys, it's him. his weight isn't good, but his boxing is pretty nice. the combinations he throws are top draw for a Heavyweight. :deal
