Thread: Does anybody care about the Cruiserweight division?

I saw two posters talking about who the greatest CW of all time was - Evander Holyfield - and I realized I didn't have any point to argue because I could care less out the CW division, historically or present day.

Now, I'm not saying the CWs can't be good to great fighters, and I'm not saying CW fights can't be good, exciting bouts worth watching.

I just have a problem with it philosophically. I always saw it as a division for people too big for (or two lazy to cut down to) LHW but too scared to get in there with the big boys. If you fight at the 200 limit, you're walking around at at least 210lbs. I reckon most are 215-220. Some no doubt walk around at close to or above 230. If you're that big, why not fight in the money division? Why toil away in a division no one seems to care about?

I think the division stinks, it should be abolished and those bums should be forced to cut to 175 or fight HWs. What says you??

I think it's just thinning out an already thin HW division.
