    Evander Holyfield despite his age is still at least in the top 5 American HWs.

    Yes, it's either Seth Mitchell or Chris Arreola.

    Right now I'd say Arreola because he has made it to a title shot, but I think Mitchell has more long term promise over the next couple years. I see Mitchell starting to peak, and Arreola fading to black within a year or two, after another beatdown by a Klit I can see him mentally caving and going back to his old ways in a hurry.

    In terms of potential, I go with Wilder. Eddie Chambers would box circles around all of the American Heavyweights today.

    This

    Although Mitchell looks promising as well but havent seen enough of him to make a true assessment, last outing exceptional though.

    the division is at an all time low imo. Even Tyon era heavyweights without Tyson were much deeper in talent. Even a Pinklon or stewart were much better than any of the guys on that list.

    It is sad to see how few good HWs there are in the USA.

    However, if you include all HW from around the world, the division is as deep as it's ever been.

    The Klitschkos, Chisora, Helenius, Povetkin, Adamek, Pulev, Haye, and several others would probably beat any American HW right now. Chambers two losses have been to Europeans, as have Arreola's two losses.

    I didn't vote because I wanna say Arreola but I think Fast Eddie might be a smidge better.

    I still havent watched Seth mitchell maybe at all but everyone says he's getting real good so I trust the opinions until proven wrong

    Deontay Wilder if he gets to 35-0 with alot of improvements and his chin improves somehow and he learns to protect it like Lennox and Wlad

    and his balance improves and his left hand and ring intelligence etc

    at this time Deontay looks raw, green out of control and a little uncorordinated.

    if he fulfills his potential after 3 or more years and the K2's get old or retire he could collect a belt or 2 unless Solis or Helenius rises to the throne
