    Arreola is complete garbage. Chambers is probably the best now, or possibly Toney if he has a few decent performances left in him.....

    Either way none of them will get their hands on a belt. And the hype over Arreola is ridiculous, not that the hype is huge, but that he is just so bad. He has club level skills, his defence is ****, his conditioning bad, speed non existant, his offence is wild and clumsy. Yes, he has power, and a good chin (though not iron, Walker put him down) but when he faces a HW with skills and conditioning, he's getting schooled, probably Ko'd.

    Chambers altough the Povetkin loss seems to have taken his valor.Arreola will lose when he steps up himself.

    Had high hopes for Arreola but he seems to be allergic to training. Hes young though so you never know.

    Toney is the toughest and most skilled fighter in the Heavyweight Division.

    He also is top 3 laziest, fattest, and most underachieving...

    What a great division!

    i voted chambers and am glad fellow esb posters did the same.

    retores my faith in the boxing expertise of the main board.

    he is not the most fan friendly, has trouble getting out of 7 foot paper bags, but is the most talented/skillfull/fast/ h2h abilty of the usa heavys at the moment.
