    Steve said if he cant land a fight with Tarver... he will move up to the Heavyweight division... Nobody left in the Cruiserweight division

    What u think about this move? & How would he match up against heavyweights

    With his punch resistance, a terrible, terrible thing to consider.

    His chin and power are probably going to be his downfall at HW but there isn't much left for him at CW so what does he have to lose? Why shouldn't he?

    If he move around & boxer he might look faster in the heavyweight division because most of them is slow... but only worrys is him getting hit

    Would love to see him vs. the winner of Adamek/Chambers. . .

    A huck rematch at heavyweight would be cool. . .

    Lol it's just like every other contender out there at HW: stay away from the Klitschkos, and he could find some success

    I think he should fight Huck again. He's one of the very top men in the division after all. Huck himself is looking to HW though, although he might hang around and meet Afolabi again, because that was FOTY ****.

    But if it could be made, he should fight Huck again.

    Overall? Why not. He can get some good money. He's a cracking physical specemin and a gentleman, I hope the tail end of the game is good to him.

    I would have liked the trilogy with YP Hernández, I guess he isn't moving to HW.

    Yes, but he recovers very quickly. He proved it in both fights with Hernández.

    I like USS but his chin isn't good enough to take the punch of a legit HW. He should try to land a fight with Tarver.

    Do you think it's that much of a difference? Lol, Hernández is like 90 kg, and I bet may even hit harder than some HWs.
