    Look at the record of the WBSS semifinals: all undefeated, all have excellent wins already.

    Here what some of the top cruisers have done:

    Usyk schooled Joe Joyce, Junior Fa and other HW prospects in the WSB. He also UD'ed Mihai Nistor who KO'ed Joshua. Many experts, even in the UK, consider him a future threat to the top HWs.
    Briedis beat Charr, a reigning HW champion by violent KO.
    Huck fought Povetkin to a very close decision some thought he should have won.
    Bellew upset David Haye (admittedly an injured Haye, but still ...)

    And of those who weren't even good enough to get into the WBSS:
    Thabiso Mchunu UD'ed Eddie Chambers convincingly.
    Steve Cunningham KD'ed Tyson Fury.

    Give me a division which has a better claim to being strong.

    They aren't evenly matched, how did you come to that conclusion?

    “Boycotted?” One is a Latvian and the other a Ukrainian, who is being boycotted? And Breidis isn’t a nut puncher, but otherwise he does a fine imitation of Ward.

    Why couldn’t Schaefer get this on US TV?

    Lol what a dumb comment. It’s one of the most talent filled divisions in boxing. This weekend will be two of the top 3 in the world squaring off. And when Usyk moves up to HW and starts taking those guys to school I’m sure you’ll say the HW division is “weak” too. Probably like you were saying during the Klitschkos 12 year reign of terror right? ;)

    Heavyweight is weak , about 4-5 decent fighters.
    You are touchy when it comes to the 200 pound division

    I'd say he is more correcting your obvious bias then being touchy..

    Surly you can just stay off the forum until your ban is up?? Seems like you have a problem tbh..

    Lol! The Ol’ “All da good US Heavyweights be playin football now!”

    Nah.. Boxing is just a much more global sport now than it was in your happy days of the early 90’s ;) But that’s a funny attempt! Usyk, Hrgovic, Teslenko, Sirenko and Fury are on their way to prominence in the HW division. You might wanna strictly just watch the NBA to keep your sanity. At least for now while you can. Lol

    Skill wise I’m sure Usyk will capture some good wins, I’m curious to see how his chin holds up at the weight. I seriously doubt his power will translate well at HW since he isn’t the most concussive puncher even at CW.

    Well I actually think his power gets too bad a rap. He gets the respect of the bigger guys real quick when he sits on his shots. Check out his WSOB matches against the HW’s in there. And as far as his chin.. I can’t recall him being dropped or badly hurt in the ams or pros.
