    Not a top division but a sturdy one. Huck, lebedev, Hernandez, usyk, kudrayshov, chakhiev, wlod, afolabi, arslan, drozd, masternak, makubu, mchunu.

    All of these have there own strengths and some of them are just beasts. Cruiser is one of my favourite divisions. It just doesn't have much history and the top fighters don't fight each other.
    Also no american automatically means it's rubbish according to most fools.

    Usyk will be the division's new overlord, the sooner you accept it the better

    Might give Huck a good fight but not Drozd. Lebedev is an aged warrior now...he'd be better off moving to HW to get a pulp beating pay day and call it quite.

    Such is the mystery of YPH. Unbeatable at times, very vulnerable at other times...depends which guy turns up come fight night. On his day he could beat any CW, but he has got some big flaws that Usyk might expose.

    He looks great down bellow but average up top. The footwork is top class.

    I expected more from what i was hearing. He's no Lomachenko of the CW division.

    A Lomachenko of CW, even LHW would be on some Roy Jones Jr sh*t just with less flash and more calculated approach. That's a fantasy you're trying to create there. Lomachenko's size is a key element of what makes him who he is

    Is it your contention that Lebedev should have won the SD that went against him in the Huck fight?

    Kudryashov sparks him easily.

    Eithet Usyk beats Kudruashov 120-107 or stops him late. They're like Floyd Mayweather and Nikolay Valuev when it comes to boxing skills.
