Who is the best currently active American boxer (2009)?

[Fox McCloud]

Yea, I think Bradley and Dawson will be the Top 2 in the future, i'm not sure who will be 1 and 2, but I see those being the top guys. Any news on when Bradley fights next!? I haven't heard anything from him for a while, unless I missed something

Bradley vs. Holt unification coming up in a couple of months. I think Bradley takes it down.

Bradley is Dawson without the flaws in my eyes. His defense is better and he seems able to take a punch better. Still very quick and techinical... he's the complete package. Dawson has pretty bad defense for a slickster. Then again, we have seen Dawson in against much better competition, so Bradley's hype could very well come back down to Earth when he steps up... who knows?

Oh yea, I forgot about that Thanks bro.

I think Dawson showed improvement against Tarver, but it's hard to say..Tarver didn't really do ****, so it might just be he didn't get away with the same ****. Has Bradleys chin really been tested? I've only seen his last 2 fights, and can't remember him ever being chin-checked..

Hopkins is already way out in front in the poll...

The reason I didn't vote for him is because he is going to be out of the game soon, and it will only take in between one fight for him to completely fall off... He looked terrific against Pavlik, but there are no guarantees at all that he looks good the next time he is out. His age is way up there, and sometimes you can fall off fast.

The way he looked against Pavlik though, makes him easily the best right now.

Wow, Williams doesn't have a single vote yet, that's surprising.

As soon as I saw the thread title, 4 names immediately jumped into my head, Hopkins, Williams, Mosley and Dawson.

Bradley probably has the most potential of anybody in the poll.

Chad Dawson looked very vulnerable in the late rounds against Glenn Johnson - what happens when he gets hit by a big puncher like Tavoris Cloud?

That would be the most disastrous matchup he could take... My god...

Johnson isn't even known as that hard of a puncher, mostly a doubles hitter... although Dawson's chin made a lot of those doubles into triples, and he nearly scored a few times it looked like.

Then again though, like I said, we haven't really seen Bradley in against a big name. I'd like to see how Bradley does against Holt, and then Hatton if he can get the fight (which he won't, because of $$$).

I don't like being "that guy", but...

How did someone vote for Kelly Pavlik when the guy who completely blew him up is on the poll?

[ИATAS]

wtf is up with Tavoris Cloud anyways??? He needs a fight ASAP!!

They're prolly thinking that wasn't the real Kelly he was congested with an elbow bruise. I'd like to see this poll after Hopkins/Mosley retire

Yo Tunney!!! Where is Zab Judah?!
