    It goes
    1. Fast Eddie
    2. Kevin Johnson
    3. Chris Arreola
    4. Lamon Brewster
    5. Travis Walker
    6. John Ruiz
    7. un-contested Malik Scott
    Loved the fight, I was like damn this is a new Eddie an a scared Sasha. Never seen either of them fight like that. Been an Eddie fan ever since saw him live vs. Rossy, dude is cool. Lil pat on my own back for winning $315.

      There's no such thing as Journeyman with no losses.

        Right now its hard to go against Chambers since he has accomplished the most. He also has good technical skill and fast hands, but hes not built for todays HWs. Im not sold on Arreola at all, hes exciting but I dont see a lot of boxing skill. Arreola would have murdered Dimi yesterday though, and badly. Wilder has a sick right hand, and that alone may put him on top in the future.

            i say it's arreola. he's been dropped big time and overcame it. you can see him learn in the ring. and damn, he's got that ko power.

              chambers is probably the best out of that list currently with arreola being a distant second.

              the sad thing is though when compared to other heavyweights around the world the U.S. heavyweights are almost second class fighters. and thats not intended to be a knock on american heavyweight boxing its just my honest unbiased opinion.

              its sad to see the american heavyweights have diminished in terms of skill and talent compared to the greats that came before them.

              Hopefully someone steps up soon and becomes the next exciting talented american heavyweight that everyone can rally behind like they did with guys like holyfield, tyson, marciano, louis, dempsey, etc.

                The two American who will get title shots in the next 8 to 10 months are Arreola and Chambers. I think Arreola has a punchers' chance of beating a Klitschko, but I honestly don't believe Chambers has any chance at all.

                    I would guess Kevin Johnson with Eddie Chambers as a close second. I do think Chambers will always have trouble with pressure fighters, and that will eventually be his undoing.
                    So you think Johnson would beat Chambers and Povetkin would beat him in a rematch? Because I don't think Johnson or Povetkin beats Chambers. Resume wise Chambers>>>>>>>Johnson. Saying that Johnson is the best American heavyweight is nonsense because he hasn't proven that, and beating a C level out of shape Olympian doesn't really stack your claim.

                      Imagine if Chambers had power. Arreola though if in shape is the best U.S.A. hope at this point.
