Cruiserweight is not a joke, just a relatively new division.
Has good fighters there like Huck and Cunningham.
Heavyweight is in poor state because a lot of big American athletes choose to go into NFL/NBA instead of Boxing.
Probably only Povetkin and Adamek offer any interest apart from Haye and the Klitschkos.
Haye was one of those people who was struggling to make weight at Cruiserweight and saw the better money on offer at Heavyweight.
Full marks to him for trying he is a decent fighter but the Klitsckos are not bad at all.

Haye macrinelli by any chance????![]()
Dont base an opinion on watching ppv once very 5 months. Actually watch the sport.
You watch Macklin last weekend?. Or Rhodes the week beofre? Stay up late for Froch? Or even John Duddy? eeeerrrrrr i reckon, NO. I dont know why im getting into this with someone whos only watched hayes last 3/4 fights.![]()

And keep claiming you know what fights I've watched? I've watched Hayes last 6 fights including Macranelli, yes so what?
I didnt watch Macklin no, but he was robbed by the judges. And YES I stayed up late to watch Carl Froch but was disappointed after all the hype about him, he barely got by Glen Johnson.
As for John Duddy I rated him highly, he retired in January, did you know that oh mighty boxing expert?

IG
Did you see Froch vs Kessler or Froch vs Pascal or Froch vs Abraham?
Froch is brave fighter, and those were cracking fights, hope you do not just judge Froch on the fight vs Johnson, who is a very tough nut to crack.
Finsbury
Haye will be remembered as a man who went to France and beat dangerous Cruiserweight Champ Mormeck in his own back yard.
That alone is a worthy achievement.

IG a bit harsh to have a pop at Froch for barely beating Johnson as Johnson is a tough as fuck fighter that and has still shown that he can hack it at the top and has only been stopped once in over 60 fights. Froch has also fought world class opposition in his last 6 fights and will do so again against Ward.
As for the heavyweights I'm putting my weight behind Tyson Fury, got the size, undefeated at the moment, let's see how he fares against Chisora

Irish Gooner and Lethal's bout turns into a WWE-style bout with ringside equipment and seating used as weapons.QuartzGooner wrote:Gentlemen!

Jayson is disqualified for constantly grabbing Mikey's nuts
Olgit issues a minor warning to Martin, Martin promptly accuses Olgit of racism and calls him a *word censored* pussy and quits
DB10 relinquishes judging duties to Chippy, can't make it as he's training for the midget-boxing world championships next month

Sounds like there's not gonna be a rematch, and Wladimir wants to fight the winner of Fury-Chisora. What a great world champ he is, fighting a domestic champion that has fought less than 20 times. How is that any worse than Haye fighting Fraudley? God Wlad is a hypocritical wanker, I guess if Fury wins we'll see if he at least has the balls to step in the ring with someone taller than him
