Hunter now interested in Bridgerweight

Hunter should stick to Heavyweight.

 

He should stay at HW. He’s decent and that’s where the money is.

 

Made up division i hope gets ignored out of existence

 

I think maybe he's resigned to the idea he simply cannot beat Fury or Usyk (who he's already lost to) at heavyweight.

He ducked Hrgovic for an easier opponent to fight on triller which didn't do anything in terms of improving his standing in the heavyweight division. It was simply for the easier money.

He's had a couple of good wins against albeit perhaps unproven operators like Kuzmin and Bakole but i don't think his hype was really that worthy in hindsight. He drew against a faded, old Povetkin where he didn't seem to have the extra oomf in his hands to keep Povetkin honest.

He might have beaten Whyte (i think it was 50/50) but his power was a bit questionable i think. He knocked out lower level opponents but when he stepped up to Povetkin he didn't really land anything significant to hurt Povetkin in that fight.


Bridgerweight probably makes the most sense for the cruiserweights and heavyweight boxers who might seem like they're in ''no mans land'' physically in comparison to the large giant heavyweights of today.

He seems to have lingering doubts in his mind which seemed more noticeable when he was challenged about the Hrgovic situation.

I think he's a good, skillful boxer maybe even a great boxer but his record hasn't proven greatness yet.

 

Hunter can just **** off.

That's what I think. Ship him to Cuba or something.

 

He was tagged by 40 year old Povetkin. That's why he doesn't want to be in heavyweight division.

 

**** the beidgerweight bull****

 

I guess briderweight will be where 2nd rate cruisers go when they're too old and lazy to shed the pounds.

 

His HW career quickly turned into a frustration from being a fan-favourite. Even though I though he clearly beat Povetkin, looks like Sasha’s power convinced him to stay away from big boys at heavy, similar to how Margarito convinced Pac to stay at welter despite the defeat.

 

I would welcome seeing Hunter v Rivas. It would be the perfect fight for the winner to build from if they want to re-establish themselves as a heavyweight.

 

And if he doesn’t want to mix it up with top heavies, why don’t he just go back to cruiser to duke it out with Briedis and Okolie? That’d be a lot more respectable than the bridgerwieght farce.

 

Does anyone know if the initial plan to cut cruiserweight to 190 pounds is still going to happen, or has already happened?

 

Why are people saying he should stick to heavyweight?

He can straddle both simultaneously and he will likely still focus on heavyweight.

It's a good move, I think, because it won't be long until he's found wanting at heavyweight. Overrated.
