Domestic Cruisers-the next 24 months.

rockyrandall · Post by **rockyrandall** » 25 Jun 2005, 11:04

Just taking a look at the domestic 200lb division, it would seem that within 12-24 months the likes of Nelson, Thompson, Scott, Moran, Norton could all be all be retired. David Haye if he keeps winning, may well move up and this leaves gaping holes in the top 10. There are a handfull of unbeaten cruisers just outside the top 10, which ones do you think could make an impact? Carl Wright is my pick, just KO'd Nate Joseph in the 1st for the British Masters belt. Any thoughts?..................................

KKEP AN EYE OUT FOR JUNIOR MCDONALD.

novice of a few fights but if he has talent to go with the physique which he may, he could be in the mix also.

Anybody seen Simon Francis? Unbeaten, is he any good?

Actually a good point in the original post - we are all buzzing about the Cruisers currently, but it could very well turn transpire into what the Light Welterweight devision is slowly becoming at the world level.

Imagine if Nelson beats Enzo and then retires.

Thompson and all the others noted in the first post retire.

It would only be the Haye vs Hobson winner who will carry the flag.

As for the future, I do like the sounds of the Junior McDonald fighter.

We were promised Neil Dawson v Simon Francis by Caldwell and Aston last summer by the end of June 05.

Doh.

Dave,
That's what you get when boxers from different camps need to get it on.
Boxing politics mate.

Dawson V Francis never really made any sense at this stage anyway. I take it that it was a domestic grudge match, right?
