Will the cruiserweights save the heavyweight division?

No beside Adamek and Cunningham there aren't many great cruisersweights at the moment.

Guillermo Jones, Mormeck and Steve Cunningham are chanceless against the top HW's

especially Cunningham lacks punching power and Mormeck lacks power and is too small do deal with the big guys.

I can't see how Adamek could beat Vitali Klitschko.

 

:silly

David need to have rematch clause against Monte Barrett. He wasnt sure he get past Monte fookin Barret not to mention crack the top ten of Hws:roflatsch that's how bad hw-division is.:rofl

 

The heavyweight division doesn't really need "saving". It's going through a weak spell, but so are several other divisions. People confuse a lack of charisma with a lack of talent.

 

outside of Adamek i dont see any1 putting a dent in the HW scene, but after Haye beats the Klit bros....maybe Adamek will pick up a strap, then we'll have a unification match, and that would be a very entertaining fight

so yeah, maybe?

 

I hope Haye gets embarassed (and he probably will), he's nothing but a loquacious fool with no wit to speak of. It's not their fault the Klitschko's are so far ahead of everyone else. There's a painful lack of charisma and a chasm between the best and everyone else, and yes, it's in the doldrums. But no one fighter is can "save" a division. It needs depth and more than one new name.

 

I'm sorry, name one current heavyweight better than them? Just one.

 

The cruiserweights will save the heavyweight division by providing a sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered next month.

I think the heavyweight division has been in much worse shape at various times during the past. Just think of Tyson's electrifying fight vs a worn-out light heavyweight. Leon Spinks pinching Ali's title when Spinks only had six or eight professional fights, Pete Rademacher going directly from amatuer to title challenger. Watch some of Larry Holmes' fights and you'll develop a new appreciation for the guys who are boxing in the heavyweight division today. The thing about the heavyweight division is the "heavyweights stink" theme has been around for thirty something consecutive years, some people get wise to this, hopefully more will wise-up and force boxing writers to cultivate a fresh take that can eventually evolve into a cliche.

 

Clarity. Perspective.

Two things sorely lacking at times on this forum. Thanks for providing it.

 

Based on what?

 

I'm sorry, but Haye isn't that exciting a fighter. I wouldn't really pay to watch Haye unless I could get a guarantee he's getting knocked out. Ali and Tyson had wit and charisma. Haye has none. Haye is as boring as the rest, he just chats more ****.

 

i gotta concur w/ pepper here...if holy can come up from cruiser and bang w/ a 250 bowe for three fights and if moorer can come up and grab a strap and impress like he did then of course. and to be honest i hope it starts a trend of lighter, more athletic hw's coming up from cruiser. its just my preference of course and nothing against the klits, they are doing their jobs by putting down the man in front of them.

(not comparing holy to haye btw b/c holy is a true warrior and is proven at hw, haye is still a big ???)
