Next Great American Heavyweight

[The Hammer]

The next top American heavyweight could be Joey Abell, if he keeps improving.

what is Mesi actually doing? Why isn`t he fighting the top guys

good question. I would like to know the answer to that as well.

I still don't think they're rule the division, they'll have success certainly, but there will be plenty of heavyweights from elsewhere winning titles IMO.

I think like 14 of the top 15 heavyweights right now are eastern european. so the fact that you don't think they rule the division is extreme delusion.

Banks is the only one i can think of that looks really good.

Why did this thread get bumped? Jeesh.

Arreola will hopefully be a great Heavyweight fighter. He's from Southern California.

I don't know of any Calvin Brock has gotten about as far as he can go. Dominick Guinn is long gone. There's always.......Ray Mercer?

tony thompson is clearly the top american heavyweight at the moment

johnathon banks, though only a cruiser, is a better heavyweight propsect than overhyped nobodies like johnson, witherspoon, chapman, estrada, scott and butler

Mike Marrone looks fairly good, but mostly because hes only 22 years old. cause nowadays apparently heavyweight prospects are guys that are 28 years old...like Povetkin. although at this point Povetkin is more than a prospect after his wins over Chambers and Byrd.

I think Joey Abbel looks fairly good too. 26 I think...and he needs to get a few more skills down, but he could be pretty decent if he became more polished.

Arreola looks ok to me, but he needs to get into better shape. but hes fairly young...he just needs to be stepping it up at this point, hes fighting Cliff Couser next. its not a terrible fight, but he needs to be moving up a little bit.

Dimitrenko seems like the overall best 'prospect' to me so far.
