Roland Lastarza would have made a good cruiserweight in the later eras

    A smart, well schooled, defensively skilled fighter with a good chin. I could definitely see him picking up a cruiserweight alphabet soup belt in any era due to his style as a good defensive counter puncher. I don't think he could possibly handle the bigger heavyweights of future eras though.



    Thoughts?

    I don't think it would be a shock, exactly, if he picked up titles against heavyweight titlists like Maskaev, Peter, Ruiz, Leon Spinks, Coetzee, if plopped down in their time either...:conf
