Old Heavyweight/Cruiserweight/Light-Heavyweight Threads

[killersheep]

With Antonio Tarver on his way out and some of the oldest ranked boxers of any division, this class has a chance to get desolate very quickly. It's a pretty shallow division overall, but here's a few options for pool entries.

Karo Murat - Boxer He has a win over #7 ranked Gabriel Campillo in what was a very close fight. Undefeated, 26 years old and held some Euro titles at Super Middle, he doesn't currently have anything booked, but he clocked in a victory in January.

Thierry Karl - Boxer Just won a French Light Heavy title a few weeks ago. Yeah this is a reach.

Danny McIntosh - Boxer his only loss is against Pool member Nathan Cleverly, he just scored a 2nd round stoppage over Tony Oakey in February.

I know this list isn't great and there aren't any unranked guys that I saw that were actually fighting anyone worth mentioning.

Does David Tua vs Friday Ahunanya qualify for the vacant 10th ranking or pool entry or is it not worthy of either? Tua has not lost since 2001, he has had 13 fights since that loss to Chris Byrd going 12-0-1 (10). Ahunanya's last to fights have been victories over previously undefeated opposition in Alonzo Butler & Shane Cameron.


David Tua - Boxer

Friday Ahunanya - Boxer

I don't think it's worthy of the #10 spot, it might as well be worthy of the pool, but the winner of Thompson/Estrada is more worthy of #10 IMO.

I guess I don't mind it being for pool entry.

I rate Tua ahead of both Thompson & Estrada, especially since Estrada is coming of a loss. Pool entry is fair though

Antonio Tarver - Boxer hasn't won since 4/12/08, hasn't fought since 5/09/09 and seems to have moved on to a new career as an announcer.

Adrian Diaconu - Boxer hasn't won at Light Heavyweight since 4/19/08, he has fought as recently as 12/11/09.

Neither fighter has anything new scheduled. Should we give them a six month extension? Or should we drop them to the pool on the following dates:

Tarver at 4/12/10 and Diaconu at 4/19/10

[killersheep]

Should Tarver and Diaconu get extensions after having over 2 years since winning?

Grant extension to Tarver, Grant extension to Diaconu
(0 votes) : N/A

Grant extenstion to Tarver, drop Diaconu to pool
(0 votes) : N/A

(2 votes) : JazMerkin, TigerFan

Drop Tarver to pool, drop Diaconu to pool

Tarver and Diaconu are denied extensions by a vote of 5-2-0-0

There is a huge vacuum effect going on at 175 largely cause by inactivity of the top fighters.

We have three pool members that have won their last fight and therefore qualify for the spot.

Nathan Cleverly - Boxer - last win on 2/13/10, a 5th round stoppage over Antonio Brancalion, no new fight booked

Karo Murat - Boxer - last win on 1/30/10, a 2nd round stoppage over Sean Corbin, he has a fight booked on 5/1/10 against a yet unnamed opponent.

Chris Henry - Boxer - last win on 3/27/10 against former Saddoboxing rated Hugo Hernan Garay, by means of 1st round stoppage, no fights booked.
