The guy to take over at CW?

Nobody is good enough, to be honest.

We should honestly put Noel Mikaelyan on this list too. Myself and the rest of this site watched him beat and get robbed by the judges against Breidis.

Okolie would not beat Dorticos. And Shane needs alot of credit with the improvements of Okolie tbf. i thought he was just a fitness guy but clearly a legit boxing trainer.. Yeah I would be seriously impressed if he could beat Dorticos, but I’d like to see the fight. At the end of the day Okolie is a champion now so he needs to be fighting these guys. Seems like he’s up for it too. I still think Okolie is a problem at the weight just because of its size and style but there is levels. I wouldn’t make up a favourite over Dorticos or Breidis but still good fights to be made. That’s the thing when you win a world title after 16 fight, there is no turning back. If he plans to move up to heavyweight in a years time then he is as ready as he’s ever going to be at cruiserweight to have those fights.

Probably right I just think his size and style is going to be very hard to deal with for cruiserweights. I think it will be a very different story when he goes up to heavyweight and guys are the same size and probably more talented. that said, Mairis Briedis is far better than anyone Okolie has faced, so I’d reserve judgement until they fight, if it happens. Okolie v Dorticos would be good too. Okolie would not beat Dorticos.

Okolie. It still blows my mind why people see so little in him. He has an effective style and can bang too. And with a reach of 82.5, he's a ****ing nightmare. Bonkers that people still can't see it. People thinking its all down to McGuigan but Okolie has actually been impressive before that. Its just now he's letting his hands go more often.

I guess Dorticos is my pick. Breidis is moving up, right?

i went for opetaia have been fairly impressed with him so far but he really needs to step up hes level of competition

mateys a 168er. he would have to get on the mexican meat to bulk up that much lol. He'd be the proverbial wrecking BALL :lol1:

Division is poor right now with all the top CWs moving up to HW or will soon move up to HW. Okolie is probably THE guy at the moment. Would have loved to see him against Breidis.

If Dwight Braxton / Qawi became an excellent cruiser in spite of being so short, why not - in due time - Bektemir Melikuziev? mateys a 168er. he would have to get on the mexican meat to bulk up that much lol.
