Who is the best AMERICAN HeavyWeight today?

[mrlopez]

Julius Peppers...........

Maybe Brian Urlacher.

As Teddy Atlas said, the best heavyweight in the U.S. is playing football!

[GoogleMe]

I actually think Eddie Chambers and such are solid HW's.

i know hes not the best, but i actually have some hopes for Amir Mansour, despite him being 39. Only american hw I'm excited about, which says a lot of the american hw scene.
Just like hopkins, hes had time to preserve his body inside a jail cell.

He seems to be rushing his way up the ladder, and who knows, maybe he could beat some good guys.
Got some serious power in his hands.

May as well be me, I stand as big of a chance at beating a Klitschko as any of the other ones.

Probably winner of Thompson/Chambers fight.

It's hard to pick Arreola because he hasn't really beaten anyone as good as Thompson/Chambers. What is Arreola's biggest win is it McCline or Walker? And does anyone consider Walker or McCline better than Thompson/Chambers? Because I don't...

[uoykcuf]

Wasn't there a couple of former football players who joined boxing and got KO'd with only like 5 or so fights against fighters most fans would consider cab-drivers or bum levels? I remember hearing about it not too long ago. Like 2-3 football players who were getting alot of hype by Atlas.

One of them was a really really fit football player and he was on espn's sports magazine and he ended up ktfo. I don't remember his name tho.

[extracurRICular]

Me too, at least he has his priorities in order.

Name another heavyweight in the world whose stated goal is to unify the heavyweight championship of the world? Most these guys out there would just be glad to grab a vacant belt, or go the distance with a Klit.

True true!!

I like your logic!!!!!

Simple question........whachu got??

who cares, heavyweight boxing sucks, it's a dead atrophied limb of the sport of boxing.........

until we get the skill level of the smaller weights up at heavyweight, it's a complete waste of time, space, energy, and money.........


when i see a aaron pryor type fighter at heavyweight i will get excited, or a jmm, pacquiao, martinez, mab, morales, tapia, sweet pea, mcclellan, julian jackson, you know?? a gatti type, or anything that resembles all the great fight action at the smaller weights. all the smaller guys that gave so much to the sport who got no proper attention because fat floppy heavyweights got all the attention, i give praise to you guys........

but until the heavyweght division produces another holyfield or someone even close to the fighter holy was, then the heavyweight division might have a chance at being rejuvenated.....

notice how i didnt' mention American HW boxing, because the whole heavyweight division is DEAD.......... the sport is more of a concern to me, more than a geographical participant.............


the talent pool in the HW'S falls onto two men......... and we all know who they are........
