America really has noone else right now in the HW division

[MurderDeathKill]

I don't care about the nationalistic angle. After Lennox retired, people bitched for years about somebody stepping up to dominate. The Klits are doing it. Can't really complain. Arreola failed vs Vitali and would lose to Wlad too, but he'd obviously have a better chance.

Chambers was the last american top guy that had not been defeated by a Klitschko, what now? Maybe an Arreola comeback, but for Wlad this time?

yep....all the american HW contenders are now Beaten

there are some prospects out there, malik scott, jonathon banks etc but nobody who will challenge anytime soon. tony thompson has been beaten already but hes coming back, i think he would give eighter kllitschko a hard fight when properly prepared although they would most likely come out on top.

Yeah Thompson gave Wlad a bit of trouble, but remember Thompson is older right now, close to 38, he has probably declined a bit since he fought Wlad, I don't think he can beat him.

Tor Hamer and Wilder are the next real hopes, but they won't be ready for years. Even if they were ready, they are not big guys at all and would lose to the Klits. In a few years though, when the Klits retire you might finally see another American Heavyweight Champion.

Deontay Wilder is taller and has a longer reach than Wladimir Klitschko.

Wlad fought in the "under 200" category for most of his amateur career.
