    It's impossible to not ask him to move up after watching his performances against Medhzidov, Modugno and Joyce :conf

    ...in the amateurs.

    In the heavyweight pro game, it sometimes only takes a single blow...

    The CW division has more talent right now than the Mormeck, Haye, Adamek, Cunningham overlapping era.

    I think we have a similar situation to GGG-moving up here. He could be a legend or he could get exposed against big guys.

    Yeah, I like the way he controlled the head and arm of Muller, and the manner in which he used it as a reset/transition into his next attack. Really liked the variety of punches he used in combination this time around. Previously he had seemed content to use the one-two working up and down...but he really mixed in a lot of hooks and a few nice uppercuts in the finishing sequence.

    Yeah, a lot of it young, budding talent (meaning it will really froth up in about 2017) but I do agree. That era was no better really than what the division now stands on the precipice of, and in fact may have not been as good.

    They were overlapping and it never had more than one or two elite or elitish guys at a time.

    Lebedev
    Drozd
    Usyk
    Makabu
    Glowacki
    Kudryashov
    Ramirez
    YPH
    Huck
    Mchunu

    If YPH, Mchunu and Ramirez were all it would compare to most of the 2000's. It's god damn stacked plus Wlod, Chakhkiev, Kalenga, Ola, Kucher, Gassiev, Dorticos.

    Actually, sorry, I take it back. It wasn't streamed and may not have even been a Top Rank co-promotion. (but they were Tweeting about it as Tso is under their banner)
