    The guy to take over at CW?

    After a fun few years the division looks wide open, someone like Okolie could stink out the division for years. Breidis is moving to HW. Dorticos is too old. Makabu too old & small

    i dont know a whole bunch about the prospects but Tishenko looks promising & is fighting next week agaisnt Mchunu.

    Beterbiev moving up could be interesting..

    If Dwight Braxton / Qawi became an excellent cruiser in spite of being so short, why not - in due time - Bektemir Melikuziev?

        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.

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

                Okolie. It still blows my mind why people see so little in him. He has an effective style and can **** 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.

                  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. 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..
