Comments Thread For: Cruiserweight: Who Got Next?

[_Rexy_]

They both deserve another bite of the cherry. And a lot of people will be keen to see how they measure up against each other.

Yup. I’m looking forward to it. It’s funny how people went from “belts don’t matter” to “tournament is meaningless without the belts”

**** the belts lol. 7 great and competitive Cruiserweight fights...sign me up

Andrew Tabiti, REPRESENT! Let's get it! Should've been in last year's tournament!

[Bronx2245]

If the money's right then there's no reason why Ward Vs the Usyk/Bellew winner shouldn't happen "as long as it takes place in Oakland that is"!

Why not Usyk vs. Kovalev in Kiev or Berlin? Wouldn't that be better than fighting in Oakland?

If this division existed 50 years ago then Henry Cooper would have ruled the roost!!..

[Banderivets]

Cruiserweight has & always will be a forgotten division, nothing but a stepping stone for small Heavyweights!

Forgotten where?

Looks like in Europe it's a very popular division...

135 is a forgotten division...a bit of an ignorant statement no?

No coincidence that the Cruiserweight division is the least ducking going on, with the white Eastern European contingent willing to fight whoever, whenever and wherever, with integrity due to their culture differences than that of say the USA boxer mentality of entitlement.

You have 4 USA fighters act welterweight to continue to duck each other , with the exception of Shawn Porter and Garcia who will fight anyone. The protected Spence and Crawford are cowards, while Thurman is lazy and doesn't want to box anymore.

There are no entitled lazy divas at 200lbs like :

Broner
Davis
Canelo
Spence
Crawford
Charlo

But there is semi fake retired diva Andre Ward roiding up somewhere waiting to engage a beatable paper champ like Bellew if the opportunity presents. Ward will never fight Usyk , let alone Beterbiev unless Beterbiev ages out while Ward preserves himself.

The guy who lost to ward twice ? Why ? Andre vs Tony would make money in the UK. However he will lose the IBF belt in the process.

Dummy, there's no ducking at Cruiserweight because there's no money there.

All the money is at Welter, Cruiser, Middle, and Heavy, and somewhat Light, that's why that's where most of the divas are.

You see Crawford didn't duck anybody at 140 did he?

Yet, it's harder for him to get fights at 147, because the money goes up dramatically, allowing guys to fight less and demand more.
