No Excuses - Unify Criserweight

[deathofaclown]

One of the problems making the best fights in this division is that there's actually no big earners at Cruiserweight. There's really nobody you can chase for a big payday so from a business perspective you might be able to earn similar in 1 or 2 easy fights.

If anything Bellew might be the money man because he has Hearn and Sky behind him and they pay quite handsomely for fighters to go to the UK and fight but as i say, the general public have never heard of the other best Cruiserweight's, so Bellew's team might see it as a case of it not mattering who Bellew fights. They could just bring in some contenders to get beat. The public aren't going to be screaming for him to fight Usyk or the others because they have never even heard of them. Of course boxing fans will want it but the real money comes from the general public anyway.

I would mind.

The best should fight the best and the title holders are the best guys in the division, with Glow and Huck deserving of spots in the tourney.

Usyk v Huck would be good, while Bellew and Leb go at it early next year and then the winners fight each other. ****, you get an undisputed champ.

Sadly that's unlikely.

my dream cruiserweight tourney would start with:

lebedev-drozd
bellew-briedis
gassiev-dorticos
usyk-huck

No Excuses - Unify Cruiserweight ???

Simply not feasible...

To date, it's impossible to make Lebedev (Russian) vs Usyk (Ukrainian)... or Lebedev vs Bellew (U.K.)... They will all want to fight "at home".

Thats not impossible.

Having promoters and/or networks unwilling to work with each other is approaching impossible, venue can be figured out.

The only excuse these guys at cruiser have is that they are afraid of one another...if the fights don't happen.

TBH, I can see Usyk willing to travel to the U.K. to fight Bellew... but I'm not seeing bellew to take such a fight.
As of Lebedev... he only fights at home, in front of "*****'s yes-men spectators"... No hope, then...

Usyk will outclass everyone quite easily.

He will school Lebedev

[MDPopescu]

He will school Lebedev

Did I say he wouldn't?
I only implied that Lebedev won't fight him outside of Russia --which isn't a viable option form Usyk.

Usyk will outclass everyone quite easily.

I dunno about easuiy but yeah, from last night, he does seem to be the most well rounded of the fighters at the weight.

Yeah, I'm concerned about Bellews balls too lol

Not fair on Leb though, he fought for a world title in Germany and has fought in the UK a couple times too.

my dream cruiserweight tourney would start with:

lebedev-drozd
bellew-briedis
gassiev-dorticos
usyk-huck

I don't think we need all this fluff. Let the guys get what ever dates they have this year out of the way and then the 3 champs can fight each other.

Oi that's the last greatest American cruiserweight about lol poor guys no wonder they try to trash the best division in boxing.

Well there is Andrew Tabiti and Michael Hunter but not sure how much of an impact those 2 will have, both seems pretty flawed

Orelaterad fråga:
Förutom Badou Jack och Erik Skoglund finns det några andra bra svenska boxare? Hört att Adrian Granat kanske ska vara ett hopp men har inte kollat nån footage av han ännu
Så jävla lame att professionell boxning är så tabu i sverige, nyligen så var de 2 event här i Stockholm Globen men utöver det händer de inte mkt i boxningsväg

Regeringen är full av pu$$ie$, SOOOOOFIIIIAAAA TAAACK SNÄÄÄÄLLLLAA, Stefan Löfven tackar o buggar som det ryggradslösa kräket han är
