    Fair enough......

      What about Tony Thompson? Or do you not think he is very good?
      I have Chambers, Arreola and Walker as the top three young (under 30) American heavyweights. But Thompson is about as good as Chambers - not as quick as Eddie, but because of his size, reach, and awkward southpaw style, I think Chambers vs. Thompson would be close to an even match.

        Gotcha...

        I always kind thought Calvin Brock would have had a decent comeback after that Klitschko fiasco, but he got fat as **** and is now blind... I think he's out of the mix.

          That guy was a Michael Grant, Audley Harrison and Dominick Guinn type of guy. Huge hype for Brock but he wasn't ****, shows you how much 31-0 against nobody's get you. Yeah he fought McCline but went to the canvas, never really had that much power. I was so dissapointed in Brock. Chambers should fight winner of Thompson vs. Toney, be good for his comeback to the top.

            should be a good fight and I look forward to it.

            even better that it's on regular HBO.

I don't think he was ready for a skilled boxer like Ibragimov, but only due to his lack of experience with world class fighters. I'm excited to see him fight though
              arreolla's chin is untested. he hasnt faced any big punchers yet

                Would of rather had Ibragimov or Tua. Arreola by tko can't see it going no longer than 6!

                  Rematch Video?

                  Why didn't you post the rematch video if you posted the first one...we all know it was a fluke. Honestly, Walker did make a mistake, but he's learned from it and won't get backed in a corner trying to "feel" a fighter out again, without throwing shots back...But :15 seconds, c'mon. You see what happened in the rematch!

                    Travis Walker Finishes Arreola By The 6th Round. Maybe Earlier If Lands A Solid Power Punch. Will Be A Good Fight Though. Hope We Get To See At Least 4-5 Rounds So We Can Get A Good Idea Of How Good(or Bad) These Two Really Are. 1st And 2nd Round Ko's Don't Speak Much In Regards To Longevity!!!!!

                      Yea i'll definitely bet points on Walker if Haye wins if that makes sense to y'all. Walker got a good shot at this and if he can weather the storm Arreola about to throw his way, by the 5th or 6th round that fat ass gonna be huffin and puffin and Walker can take care of him with some big shots.
