Who is better? Drozd, Lebedev, Kudryashov, Makabu.........

Who cares. CW is a joke of a division and is rightfully ignored for a reason. None of these guys are ever going to fight each other.
They're an embarrassment to boxing.

Huck - Lebadev should have fought at least twice , but instead we get Huck -Afolabi III and Huck -Arslan II.

Those two big Russian getting so much hype looked like two cans when i went to watch them on the Povetkin Prez undercard

 

1) Lebedev
2) Huck
3) Drozd
4) YPH

 

Bellew :yep

 

CW is underrated because there are no decent yank or brit here, actually its a deep division:

Drozd, Chahkiev, Usyk, Lebedev - have skills, speed and power
Kudryashov, Makabu, Huck - big punchers

No big overhyped star there, but on average very nice pool of fighters

 

Its so poor , a guy with 7 wins against bums is considered the best in the division.

 

So what, maybe people just know **** about boxing and dont always need to judge a fighter only with a help of boxrec. Rigondeaux and Lomachenko were ranked very highly by fans even when they just turned pro, you know why? Because it was crystal clear that they have skills

 

The majority of this forum picked Rigo to get starched out by Donaire.

All because a giff surfaced of him getting dropped by a jab. Most of the threads were pray for Rigo's health and so on.

Not me however , i predicted that fight to go exactly as it did.

Loma is another poor example as he is so good he won a belt in his 3rd fight.

 

You have no clue about amateur rankings, do you? Usyk defeated Medhzidov who hits harder than most HWs, defeated top ranked LHW Beterbiev twice, he defeated Modugno who is 6'7 and had 12 pro fights back then, and he toyed with all. His style is still amateur-ish right now, but he's right to be considered as a top fighter.

 

anyone found the recent makabu fight on youtube?

 

Amateur rankings don't mean anything in the pros.

Korobov was 300-4 in the ams. Got sparked out in 6 round by Andy Lee.

 

Korobov has declined since his amateur days and he could never make the adjustment required.

I largely blame his matchmaking and many other problems he faced in his pro career (such as trainers and what not, inactivity)

 

Someone claimed it meant beard in Ukrainian!

 

I think Kudryashov is the best fighter among the 4. He also looks most like a heavyweight.
