The Cruiserweights
It seems as though David Haye will be moving up to Heavyweight no matter what so I thought I would do short analysises on the remaining contenders who could fight it out to find out who is the new cruiser champ.
Jean-Marc Mormeck: The former champ lost to Haye for this incident to occur. He is a sound fihter snd in his fight with Haye, he floored the Hayemaker in the 4th so he was certainly by no means destroyed. Mormeck may wish to take a tune-up fight before returing into the mix. He has done that before, after losing to O'Neill Bell he took on 10-15-1 Sebastien Hill. He already holds wins over Bell, Wayne Braithwaite and Virgil Hill so he has to be considered one of the world's best espite being knocked out by Haye. If he wants it he should be given the chance to fight for the titles again.
O'Neill Bell: Already hold a K.O victory over Mormeck so you cannot right him out of the equation. He has ot fought since loosing to Mormeck in march but he is 32 so there is a few years left in the tank. Would O'neill be able to shake of the ring rust and be a major force in the division once again. A rubber match with Mormeck would be exciting but would this fight be likely to be made when both have lost their last fight. But apart from Mormeck he lacks a real big name (in terms of the current 200lbs division today) which culd count against him.
Enzo Maccarinelli:
The welshman has been very active this yaer, defending his WBO bauble 3 times this year. The ones against Gunn and Azzaoui were virtually meaningless but those to wins sandwich a very impressive K.O victory over the highly capable Wayne 'Big Truck' Braithwaite. Enzo is also very popular in Britain and will draw big crowds in Wales. He is also more well known in America than other in the division including Mormeck. He has heavy hands so promoters will be ready to push him into a vacant title fight.
In my opinion these are the top 3 guys who deserve a shot at the soon to be vacated Ring belt. I also think that the Arslan-Hill winner or Steve Cunningham should get the chance tofight the new champ first. Any of the 3 possible fights which could arise if that were to happen would all be entertaining while not to hard for the new champ, whoever it may be.
I'd like to know your thoughts on who should fight for the belt.
