Re: Cruiserweight
Cruiser division must stay it was a natural and necessary idea. It is the natural division of such great HW's as Michael Spinks, Evander Holyfield, David Haye and Tomasz Adamek among others.
Why is it bad to have a 175-200lb division? Seems logical to me. In fact I think SMW should be pushed to 185 and Cruiser to 215 these days given the massive increase in fighter size over the last few decades since its inception.
Let's say Gennady Golovkin fills out to a SMW and dominates. His frame is too small and his steroid requirement too large to stack on 40lbs of muscle just to compete with guys who would be on average still 20lbs heavier than him. Luckily when he had done enough at SMW there is always the Cruiser div.
