    I agree about that K bros, but aside from them I'd like to see him against pretty much anyone in the top 20 at heavyweight. Against Povetkin he really went for it and threw a lot of power shots, the prospect of him doing the same thing against Chisora, Adamek, Helenius, Arreola, Mitchell, and others interests me.

    Maybe you know the cruiserweight division better than I do, which is possible as I only really watch the title fights, but aside from Lebedev, Cunningham and Afolabi (who he is already faced) there's only really a bout with Hernandez that would have be making 100% sure I tuned in.

    Maybe staying at CW is where he'd have the more meaningful fights and earn more, but I can only really favour the fights I expect to be most entertaining.

    I'd like to see him in those fights as well, but taking practicality into consideration, I just don't see him taking on guys like that - the high risk/low reward type fights. . . If he was willing too, of course I'd be all over them.

    Cruiserweight is increasingly becoming a stacked division. You got Hernandez, Cunningham (which was a really good fight IMO),Lebedev, Tarver, that polish guy Kryztof Wlodarczyk, Afolabi, Guillermo Jones (the WBA champ). . . Then you got undefeated, entertaining promising up and comers like Lateef Kayode, Masternak, Kolodziej. .

    Then you got guys like Chambers who is thinking about moving down. . . Or the possibility of Hopkins moving up trying to win a strap at CW before he retires (where Huck is one of hte beltholders). . .

      Had he decided to stay at HW, he would have had to abandon his CW title. . .

      So, in the future, if hte opportunity arises and the money is there to fight a guy like Chisora, Fury, Helenius - then he could just as easily go back up. But him staying at HW fighting guys like that every 3-5 months isn't going to happen.

        I think there are more interesting match-ups for him at heavyweight, so that's a shame.

        I like Afolabi but I'd be surprised if their rematch was much different to their first fight.
        Afolabi has improved since then and in their first fight Ola foolishly spent alot of time showboating rather than fighting. If he had just fought he may have been able to win that one. Ola winning is a real possibility this time i think.
