Best Heavyweight younger then 29

[Cadillac Man]

I'd go with Arreola at this point...Povetkin is NOT ready for Wlad and could get ruined. Imagine if Arreola was ripped every one would be on his nutz. Even when he weighed 230 for Chazz he still looked a littled chubby that is just his body type. He will never look fit or ripped now matter how he trains or eats he just has that body type. The man has an extensive amateur background and has been fighting since he was a little kid so I think he's prepared the only question about Arreola at this point is he dedicated enough to wanna be the Heavyweight Champion of the world. Why would anyone vote for Haye he hasn't even fought at Heabyweight yet so RELAX with the Haye talk

Really wish Dimitrenko and Haye fight after they do away wit Barrett and Krasniqi. Both will be very high in WBO rankings and the winner should fight Wlad mid-late 09 as the mandatory WBO bout. Haye I think will take out Dimitrenko's suspect chin with his hard combos, Dimitrenko got some problems from Hoffmann and will get much more if he fights Haye.

I have said since the very start of his pro career that Alexander Povetkin is extremely overreated. He brings so little to the table. Arreola would stop him around round 8. Dimentreko is the best fighter on that list. He is one of two fighters that beat Arreola. People are going to look at me funny, but even though he's not as good of a fighter, Kevin Johnson UDs Arreola. Styles make fights and Johnson boxes too well and keeps distance with that great jab. I have not seen Boystov so keep that in mind.

Eddie Chambers has peaked. You can clearly see the level he can beat and the level he will lose against. He just doesn't have it in him to move his hands enough. Solis is a short, slow, chubby, near feather fisted heavyweight. He is more overrated than Povetkin even. Haye just gets hurt too easily by shots. Unless he pulls a Cotto and was only getting hurt due to weight drain (which I doubt), he will not be a significant figure past his first real test as entertaining as he may be. I don't know how to rank these fighters because styles make fights and there is no clear path of who would beat who, but I think Dimentreko is overall the best followed by Arreola. Again, though, I have not seen Boystov.

Also, Johnson is 29 just fyi, but I know the year thing wasn't meant to be a clear cut off for the poll and you were just quizzing on potential up and coming heavies.

Didn't know that my fault. Kingpin gettin up in dem years, dude started his career kind of late. Hope he fights a good opponent soon like Rahman or Tua and also I heard he might take on Chapman but I doubt it will happen

Good poll, but I think that Povetkin is a nobrainer. David Haye only has one heavyweight fight, Arreola is still very unproven and to be honest, I don't think he is all that good. Nobody else on that list has even remotely come close to stepping up.

If Peter beats Vitali then I think he automatically becomes the best under 29 y.o. hw. Povetkin is the mandatory for Wlad and I'm picking Wlad to beat him so should Peter win then it's a no brainer. Of course beating Vitali wont be easy considering the disadvantages Peter has.

Dimitrenko's chin has been tested and checked out OK, it's not the likes of Holyfield, Vitali or Sanders, but it'll do. I see Dimitrenko giving Haye A LOT of problems and most probably winning the fight by TKO in late rounds.

Dimitrenko is the best prospect out there today. Boytsov is up there but he's yet to face any top 50 competition and only time will show. He's got it, he just hasn't been tested yet.
