Vassiliy Jirov Returns to Cruiserweight on September 17

[Benncollinsaad]

Jirov was definitely one of the best cruiserweights of the late 90's and early 00's. Then he moved up to heavyweight. Not sure wether it was a good choice. Although he can hit, he never really had that knockout power that would enable him success as a heavyweight. And it showed against Moorer. He was dominating him for 8 rounds, then Moorer throws one good punch and down he goes. He did do well against Mesi, but he still lost in my eyes.

Adamek vs Jirov would have been a war but I'm not sure if it'll be much of a fight at this point.

If Jirov can get a belt.. Jirov vs Hopkins anyone?

Another white european southpaw, see if Hopkins can do a defensive job like Toney.

That would have been one hell of a fight.

Hopkins got NO problem against a southpaw. Dude was undefeated against southpaws until Calzaghe, and it wasn't the stance that gave him trouble. Hopkins by wide UD
