    I'd back him to beat Okolie once Okolie beats Glowacki.

    No. Way too small, he gets ran out the ring by somebody like Makabu. Much less Dorticos or Głowacki.

    Yes.

    Ilunga Makabu, the WBC Cruiserweight champ, is relatively short (six feet), a southpaw, ducks really low when fighting, doesn't throw a lot, isn't particularly impressive, and has mainly fought a lot of untested guys with a lot of consonants in their names. And he used to be a light heavyweight, he isn't a heavyweight who drains down.

    Maybe there would be a really weak belt holder he could pick off but going up to 200 would make continuing to succeed at 168 difficult.

    He's welcome to step up and try. I'm sure Briedis, Makabu, and Goulamirian would love to welcome him to CW Level.

    To be fair, Artur and Dmitry were waiting to give him an introduction to real LHW Level (ie. not shot drunkard LHW Level) but he dropped that WBO strap like it was molten lead and hightailed back down to a graveyard division to try and unify in the goldfish infested waters down there instead.

    Hope your right but everything will be in Okolie's favour.
