    The weight divisions stay as they are!

    Some seriously dumb posters on here aswell.

    Huck looks bigger than Bellew because errrmmmmmm he is fighting at CW.

    Tony Bellew is 6"2 1/2 if he was able to eat like a CW, believe me! He would look like a CW.

    I think he was a heavyweight as an amateur. He looked chubby there. Huck, Arslan, Lebedev or even Hernandez look natural bigger than him.
    I mean look how Bellew fights now... I dont think his style would work against stronger Cruiserweight. Maybe Bellew can push around a Chilemba but he wont with guys like Huck, Arslan or Lebedev.
    If he would move up again he would look chubby like he did in the amateurs.

    I disagree, Bellew was able to eat like a cruiser as an amateur and while obviously a good fighter, was a tubby ****er who would have been outmuscled by the likes of Huck in a 12 round fight.

    Different body shapes, Bellew and the likes would have to spend a year or so pounding weights and conditioning to look like Huck. Unless they used other means:hey

    Tony used to fight as a HW did okay as well! His size has a CW about him. Hes about the right size for a CW. If Big Mac can go up the weight I'm sure Bellew can. All I'm saying Bellew has not got muscle to knock out LW hence his record. If a fighter goes from heavy to light heavy hes going to lack punch power.

    Fair enough but it will take a year to put that muscle on!

    Ask Chad Dawson he was drained at supper mid weight. The same way Tony looks drained at Light heavyweight. He needs to move up to CW
