Who is the currently the best American heavyweight?

I think at this point is has to be Eddie Chambers. His style will never create new boxing fans though. Also, saying he is the best American Heavyweight says more about the dismal state of the heavyweight division than it does about Chambers.

Even though Arreola is a small hw and is a raw talent, he is more of a threat than Chambers

I think it's Arreola, Johnson or Chambers.

Chambers has a better resume than Arreola, but Chris had a lot of early KOs. Johnson is very good, but he has yet to fight a top 20 heavyweight.

Since I think Arreola beats Chambers, I picked him.

1) Eddie Chambers
2) John Ruiz
3) Evander Holyfield
4) Tony Thompson
5) Chris Arreola

Arreola a small HW?, 6'4 250 LBS

I wonder what you think of Chambers at 6'0 209 lbs

Arreola's reach isn't what it should be, 6 ft 4 or not. He has short arms for his height...plus he never comes in the ring in excellent condition, he always looks fat.

nah he's got a 77 inch reach, according to boxrec. That's only 4 shorter than WK...

I guess his style just makes it seem like he has shorter arms for his height.

Eddie Chambers. I'd like to see him face Arreola because i think it would expose Arreola for the journeyman he is.
