Who Currently Is The Best American Heavyweight?

The NASDAQ just dropped 8 points because of this thread.

 

Eddie Chambers and Chris Arreola

 

Chambers, for sure.

 

What ? Thats sad

 

A random fifteen year old kid, influenced by Tyson is slugging away in a gym somewhere.

 

But true I'm afraid :|

One could argue Thompson I guess, I just don't like his arm punching, it doesn't look good on a HW

Arreola is a non-starter. He ain't done **** yet, and looks like a slightly above club fighter level to me.

You have Thompson, Rock, Toney, and I know you will not like this name, but Ruiz. He will fight anyone. Actually, the thread should read: Where is all the American Heavyweight fighters?

 

Hopefully in a few years there could be an exciting prospect on the rise. One could only hope.

Right now it is Chambers or Thompson for sure. These two should fight each other sometime.

 

Eddie Chambers, although not a strong puncher has quick hands and good boxing ability which is hard to come by in the heavyweight division. Unfortunately he has bad conditioning, shown in his loss to Povetkin. Although he was impressive in the beginning of that fight, it later showed he had stamina troubles as well as what appear to be a lack of desire. It seems that focus is a problem with up and coming heavyweight from the US, or at least compared to the Eastern Europeans.

 

Ruiz . . . easily.

 

I'd probably say Steve Cunningham, if he wanted to fight at heavyweight. I think he'd beat Chambers. As for the current lot, I think Arreola just pips Chambers to top spot.
