There is a super fight brewing and that fight just might be Dawson(The new RJJ) vs the winner of B-Hop vs Winky. I would love to see him fight any of those 2 fighters. Because in my eyes he is the next P4P king. He will fight at Super Middle and Light heavy. Whats your veiws on this division?

I would factor Edison Miranda in there in due time. As of right now I agree with you about Chad Dawson. The fight against Hopkins would be great at light heavy but Winky could not fight there at all.

Miranda might want to move up there for the money but I got to many questions about him right now. Hes gonna struggle to rule the middle weight class. He might do it but its gonna be very very very hard for him.
if dawsons moving anywhere which i dont think he will it'll be cruiser, this guys huge for 175.

Yea you right but I dont see any fights worth taking at cruiser. So he might fight at a catch weight a few times just to make a big fight.
I don't think he has any chance in hell honestly now that I think about. His boxing skills are still premature.
wow, cruiser outside of 147 is by far the best weight division in boxing, they are the 2 best easily.

no money there?

do you know how much cash guys like mormeck, bell, haye, cunningham and maccranneli are making, we're talking about millions of dollars. and the marquee value of guys like virgil hill and HW's like byrd and hide prob fighting there its a gold mine.

cruiser is hot at the moment and loaded with massive fights.

None of these massive fights are being made. Theres still sorting out to do there. They got good fights but what fight would be a mega PPV fight or a huge Vegas or U.K. fight?
I disagree Tommy. I haven't heard of any marquee matchups being made at CW.
I agree with all you guys, cruiserweight will alwasy be a lost division. They need to move lightheavyweight up to about 182 or something. As for chad dawson, I really like this kid. I was very impressed with his victor of adamek. I think he has all the skills to be the undisputed LHW champion. I see taylor moving up to lightheavyewight towards the end of his career.

hayes fighting mormeck and it looks like bell could be fighting maccranneli, thats the 4 best fighting each other.
I want to see Mormeck vs. Haye!
The problem here is that while these may be great fights the common fan has never heard of any of these guys. Even if they were to all fight and come down to one champion there are only a handful of us that will even care.

Thats my point. Theres only 4 notable fighters in that division. After they fight each other. Then the winners fight each other. Then what? The division will be dead?:dunno:

what about hill, hide and chris byrd looking to move down, 2 of those guys are former HW champions.

Krzysztof Wlodarczyk is a class fighter to, not to mension up and comming guys like huck,godfrey and banks.
