    We'll see how he looks against Lyakhovich.

    Eddie is aiming for a rematch with Povetkin. His promoter got him a WBA ranking, he's no longer seeking another fight with Wladimir, at least not in the next year or so.

    Chambers is going to be dropped out of the various rankings soon due to inactivity. His last fight was Feb 11, 2011. Eddie doesn't seem to want to fight anymore.

    It doesn't help his cause that his best win is lesser than Mitchell's best win.

    Also, Eddie Chambers would dominate Arreola if he could get healthy. He's coming back in March/April once again, hopefully this time healthy.:deal

    - and most of these were TRUE KO's, not TKO's.

    Wildman is the only American HW who has the potential to be an ATG.

    Mitchell & Arreola would have to be ranked higher "right now," but not for long.

    And I have to laugh at folks who say Wilder has a questionable chin. Why, because he's been KD twice in his career, and one of those was in the amateurs? Sheesh, I guess that Ali guy had a questionable chin, too. :roll:

    Wilder does need to develop his left jab, but it's not THAT weak. He just needs better competition.

    Wilder was knocked down several times in the amateurs, and stopped more than once.

    Here's one knockdown in the pros that the ref should have counted but didn't, look at 43 seconds:

    You don't know a slip when you see one? :roll:

    Well, I know who's opinions to never listen to again.

    And why do all the Wilder haters (amazing there even are such creatures) always pic THIS fight to show something negative? His management put him in with a tiny little mutant that actually can punch. How does any fighter fight someone half his height, and not look awkward?

    Nice try, but, well, not really.
