If any.... which top ranked cruiser could go the furthest in the heavyweight division? Would any of them be more successful than Jirov?

Haye has the offensive arsenal. Not sure about the chin.

He is next Fraudley, waiting for exposure.

He is already better than him IMO.

O'Neil Bell. I know he lost to Mormeck but at this point in time Mormeck is too old to make a big enough splash. Bell can get past most guys under 230.

I like Ding....but not sure he has the height and reach to deal with the larger HW. If he had some more speed, then sure. He certainly has the chin.

haye is 6.3, and was rock solid at 220 when he stepped up to heavy and bonin , a solid 230 natural heavy was the smaller man, haye also punched a ton at heavy.

but of course heavy`s also punch a ton and haye`s resistence to them is unknown.

but i think haye will be 225-228 within a year (carrying no excess) and obviously has the punching power and skills, it is just a question of how his chin holds up.

Hell yeah JDP...I've seen Banks fight live 8 times...and I couldn't agree more.Where did you hear that info about Matt Godfrey?

You have to admit though...that show with him fighting Sebastian Hill was a joke.Not his fight,but that had to ne one of the most unorganized events I've ever been too.And the music sucked...all like 9 hours of it.

What do you think of the other Kronk prospects....Andy Lee,Ronald Hearns,Aaron Pryor Jr.,Lanardo Tyner...ect?

I agree it sucks the original Kronk closed.Aaron Pryor isnt from Detroit,but he's managed here and though he lives in Cincinatti he does most of his training and fights here.Lanardo Tyner shows alot of promise,but 140 is a tough division to be a pro in right now.

I also agree that Andy Lee is the real deal.

I train at Dynamic Boxing Club in Westland,have you heard of it?

Vladimir Klitschko is the best heavyweight in the world today period.

Banks and Klitschko train together and spar with eachother. Banks is a very good fighter.

Haye and Alexeev have to the punch to compete with their heavier rivals at heavy.
Huck probably,too!

I don't think Bell has the size or power to compete at heavy. He's been hurt and knocked down by too many Cruisers.

I would have to say Haye has the best chance, as he has the physique of a heavyweight and has a hard time making 200.

I think Huck is the CW-version of Sam Peter - only thing he does better than Sam is his jab...

IMO Alexeev will be better than Haye...

Not sure what you mean by that. The fights I've seen Huck is pretty much a stand-up boxer who looks for right hands. He hasn't thrown many jabs when I've seen him, for example against Michael Simms. I haven't watched the Tokarev fight yet.

When you have seen it you will know what I mean - he improved his jab alot...

I'll watch it today. That's good, because he needed to do something. Some lateral movement and variety to his game would go a long way toward getting him a belt. He has the strength and power already.

I disagree. I say Vitali Klitschko is the bes heavyweight in the world today.

Haye for me , Bonin might have been extremely overmatched and in no way deserving of his #11 rank in the WBC(in truth being in their top 40 was too kind to him) but what happened in that ring was simply devastating QOF0XLBhfbo

Haye looks so much stronger at heavyweight , however his chin at heavyweight will be a question(I think it's okay for Cruiser) and physical clinching strentgh is another thing that would worry me .
However I genuinely believe he has the capability to knock out any and I mean any heavyweight out there..........with that said anyone with a decent punch themself might be able get to him .
