Lawrence Hugolie is a joke. Usyk is not on a pedestal, than man was an UNDISPUTED Cruiserweight champion and literally beat everyone, cleaning that division out. Not to mention the skill and calibre to be a modern day great. Lawrence coming into heavyweight with his best win being a faded Rozanski and can barely throw a jab without falling over. Ludicrous comments from Lawrence
Bridgerweight only exists in the eyes of the WBC. Therefore every other governing body has to see Okolie's last fight as a heavyweight contest - so as a former Cruiserweight champion who's now 1-0 as a Heavyweight - you can argue he does deserve a high ranking. The WBC however - surely cannot rank him at all as a Heavyweight as he's never fought as one as far as they see it.
No body wants to fight him yet that’s why, high risk low reward. He knocks people out. Let’s see. Who was Usyks first heavyweight fight? Get my point, he needs to acclimatise to the weight class.
@@freddiefreeman4119 thats fine, the point is you cant be ranked until youve had the fight. Take an olympic champion for example - you know he has the beating of most pros before he turns pro but you dont dont give rankings for potential
Love how everyone just likes to knock him. He’s got the guts to get in the ring , if you don’t like him don’t watch him . But constantly slating him is ridiculous
@@CC44998 You've commented twice now slating him. Bit weird. Do you feel safe slagging him off because other people do too? Bet you look around to see how other people react before you give your opinion on everything in life.
@@commentorcommentor-s6l who's said that???lol... Dude, I was watchin Lawrence hugging in York Hall long b4 u grew ur first row... I have paid to have the privilege of watching him lol and since then not watching him cuddle... He hugs more in a fight than I've hugged my wife in 10years
@@CC44998 How many other fighters have their careers crticised because they hugged too much in one fight? It's a meme that's well passed his sell-by date.
@TFB97 listen bro he's just waiting it out for dubois....heavyweight division is all over place Joe Joyce beat dubois then parker beat Joyce, dubois then beat aj, now fights parker...chisora is away so after these fights coming up he can be a dangerous man in heavyweight n placed right
Yes USYK was undisputed Cruiserweight but Lawrence got beat off CBS at Cruiserweight. The title Lawrence then won at made up Bridgerweight isn’t even a recognised with other sanctioning bodies. No way he should be going in high ranked at heavyweight?! We Be Crooks (WBC)
Not exactly a clash more a serious difference of opinion! Thanks for uploading and Lawrence has sure got his work cut out if he's going to make waves in boxing's glamour division: Heavyweight.
Lawrence ranking is deserved. Any world champion at the weight below gets highly ranked when they move up. If he can get a soft touch like someone like a Charles Martin then he may well become a 3 weight world champion. One things for sure and thats Frank Warren will deliver him a shot.
Top 5 is a stretch ngl, tho top 10 sure cos that fluctuates all the time anyway. Frank Warren will defo get him in position for title contention tho, he's been a genius doing that last few yrs wid his fighters
@garycook6877 issue is it can't be one rule for one division and different for another. Imagine if when all them junior/super divisions came about and they no longer got their shots in the weights above cos of the same mentality. Might not like bridger but end of the day it's a division and the champ can and should be ranked when moving up even if the division isn't one that's strictly necessary. Plus when u look at the wbc top 10 outside of the top 5 it's not exactly the strongest so while I don't think he shpuld he 5th somewhere around the upper parts of the top 10 is fine
Mike Tyson became champ around 20 years old. Guys these days want 20 tune-up fights, then cash in on one fight in their mid-thirties. Fighting 119 ranked, okay looking forward to that clash of the ages...
If it was up to me Lawrence would be ranked around about 10-12 as a heavyweight, until he fights a player inside 10 although he was a Cruiserweight Champion. Definitely no higher than, Heavyweight is highly contested division with many big potentials...I think that would be fair to all.
Takes balls to step in that ring, Lawrence as accomplished a lot in boxing 2 wieght world champ, I think he'll be more suited to heavyweight boxing ,good luck to him......
It will be interesting to see how he fares at heavyweight with his hugging and holding tactics against 17-20 stone men. I can't see him doing much at heavyweight tbh, he's not a good technician and he won't he able to manhandle guys like he did at cruiserweight. Good luck to him though...
I think he has been the most unwatchable fighter of the last 10yrs, the grabbing and holding to ingrained to change now, the second he’s put under any pressure he will revert back to type. Imo I don’t think he has the punch resistance to mix at heavyweight. I hope I’m wrong , great to see another British fighter win a title.
I think the weight is to make him more durable. He thinks he can win it the same way minus the KO because it was a split decision so that tells you where his mind is at.
It’s warranted. People complain about his style which is boring and constant hugging Which is so jarring. The comments are warranted, you’re describing it as hate
Only WBC have Bridgerweight class. How many pundits over years have said cruiserweight too light or small to become heavyweights in this era. Lawrence ko'd the Bridgerweight champion in devasting fashion. Why cant he hild his own at heavyweight? If he doesnt then he doesnt. It takes balls to get in a ring even in an ABC let alone the elite amateur or pro game.
Respect for getting in the ring....I know this as a former amateur boxer, but really don't see Lawrence doing anything much in the HW other than picking up a bigger pay check
So will be ranked high up at least with being ther brighgerweight champion previously then ?the paper belt division lol he aint beating fury or usk.for that WBC belt lol.what a whopper😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣
Okolie ain't gonna make it as top heavyweight. He may just about beat journey men but I've seen his Bambi on ice balance and he's not Great at all. Billam smith proved that
Still an exciting division regardless and with all of them having their vulnerabilities, it's anyone's game which for me makes everything much more interesting
Lawrence won’t do anything in the heavyweight division, he just loves a good old hug ❤
Are you doing anything good in life like Lawrence is doing ?
I'd swap being a twice world champion with flipping burgers he used to do. @@Steve-z4y7w

There should be a division between light-heavyweight and cruiserweight rather than between cruiserweight and heavyweight.
The amateurs have incorporated an 86kg division in the last year or 2
There needs to be less weight classes not more, calling this guy a two weight world champion is a joke
How heavy is chav-weight?
Okolie is the worst boxer to watch. This guy will never be able to sell a fight!

Keep Ade and get rid of Spencer.
Lawrence is the biggest joke in HW boxing. That is saying something with Wilder still in it
It's an insult for Okolie to be ranked top 5 in the heavyweight division.
When a fighter wins a title at middleweight, they are ranked a super middleweight when they move up.
It’s nothing new
No offense to Lawrence, but i can't see him lasting at heavyweight
Okolie being ranked no. 5 is absolutely shocking.

Boxrec had him ranked super high. Above the likes of Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. Hasn't done anything in the division.

I don’t see anything wrong with the dranking… Cruiserweight goes up and has WBO belt they automatically become mandatory

anoother deludded.fighter? agit kabayel would demolish him in one round !!!
Fury coming in heavier means he has to win by mid fight. Stats show fury's work rate lowered substantially and Usyk's increased.

That makes no sense
Jordan clearly new to boxing with how baffled he is by sanctioning body rankings. It’s how they are.
thats like winning the championship league in football and then saying you are top 5 premiership 😂

Lawrence isn’t a clean fighter.
He doesn’t impress me fighting like a common rough back street fighter.
wow hes been eating breakfast lunch and dinner all week. so does that mean he punches instead of hugging every fight night
Absolute joke ...he held the last guy he fought 😅
Lawrence handling loose women panelist Si Jordan the perfect way. Feign mock outrage at his wind up attempts and don't take him seriously
Trying to use usyk as justification for his heavyweight wranking😂
Just don’t let him hug your nan at Xmas , the extra weight could cause issues
I don’t think Lawrence will do good in the heavyweight division

That Bridgerweight is absolute Crap
any average heavyweight with decent power will ko okolie hes useless imo : )
Someone please explain to him that it's Usyk/Fury, not the other way around 🤡

Who cares because there are no good heavyweights around now like Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis, now it’s full of rubbish yet again.
Still an exciting division regardless and with all of them having their vulnerabilities, it's anyone's game which for me makes everything much more interesting
Okalie is overrated he will never get near the heavy weight title
Hes gonna have too change his style and fight big names to move up rankings ,he wont be world champ
Most Boring fighter in history
