    Afolabi is the no.1 contender, but all the other contenders either have belts elsewhere, or would not bring much to the table.

    What about Afolabi v Bellew heading at the Echo Arena for the vacant belt?

    I'm not even ranked at cruiser but if this opportunity and I can't see how it would become available then I'd jump at it ;-)

    Was Amir Khan ranked when he got the Kolentnik shot?

    There are many other examples

    I glad you are up the idea

    Does Ola still have any ties to Frank,?

    I could see this being done tbf theres good business sense in it, would be a great action fight and you'd get them in by the bus load to see it.

    Start beating the drums, boys!

    Like I say I'm after big fights for big rewards, I'm also in the game for the long haul, I'm seriously dedicated and live it! I don't ideally want to move up in weight but to even be talked about in such a match really says plenty for me to be honest.. :)

    Afolabi is a good kid and very good at what he Does too..

    afolabi is a very underrated akward fighter. and huck didn't vacate the belt. he will fight povetkin and can keep the belt if he losses. Huck is just running from afolabi imo. and tony, being honest i would not consider fighting afolabi. this guy is the main sparring partner of the k bros, has great power and has now stamina and condition. imo he is the second best cruiser right now behind lebedev and you would have to adjust to the weight

    There's some pretty good talent in the Cruiserweights at the moment. Frenkel, Lebedev and Afolabi are all pretty handy.

    Do you think you would perform better at Cruiserweight Tony?

    lateef kayode - danger all over him but might be lined up to fight with wlodarzych...and witht he news that roy jones might get a match with him, kayode might take the wbo route....biggest international Nigerian fight of all time i think if afolabi signs might sell well

    steve herelius - still highly ranked in the wbo and still free

    tarver - not sure if he wants to stay at cruiser even

    cunningham - but tied with the ibf and wba



    by the way does afolabi want to be british? i saw the trunks in his last fight. but i think that just looked better than having nigerian/u.s./union jack/canadian/mexican/german flags over them.

    he is in germany now so he is european even british cruiserweight applicable...too hghly ranked to fight norton or williams.....williams.....leon ****ing williams....honestly i considered going pro after i saw him fight.

    Afolabi and Bellew would be interesting but Bellew has unsettled business with Cleverly.

    Ola's my boy, he's got skills and looks to be getting out of sparring partner mode. I'd not like him and Bellew to fight cos i'm a fan of both but it be some fight.

    Kayode is a strange one, his last two displays have been better but the fight before that i think he was a robbery against a guy who was expected to be beaten easily. I personally think Ola can win the title against most in the CW division. Cunningham being the top man IMO.

    Im pretty sure Marco Huck hasn't vacated the WBO title.If he loses he goes back to CW still as Champion.
