Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
As far as talent goes, the Cruiserweights aren't doing too badly, but there doesn't seem to be too many fighters who have that electric personality that makes people want to watch them; aside from Haye I guess, people don't seem to follow them that closely (maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way it seems).
The Cruisers are always going to be overshadowed by the heavies.
Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
I've liked the past few years,the talent that is.It was just something DOn King did not put together any big names.I mean Braithwaite was his bread and butter and he was the least dominant fighter in my eyes.I like Dale Brown I did think he beat O'neill a few years ago also the O'Niell Bell and MOrmeck fights are great fights.THe guy I do like the best is (well can't remember his name) but he did just beat Kelvin Davis in like a half arounf a few weeks ago.Well I would be on the lookout.It could be that this division will be the new heavyweight's
Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
They're a pretty decent bunch. I've always viewed the Cruisers as Athletic Heavies...The unification bout between Enzo and Hatye will tell a lot of the future. Should Haye win he'll surely defect to Heavy. Should Enzo win the division may have a legitimate King who will rule tilll his defeat or retirement.
Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
cruiserweight division does not get the respect it deserves, fighters know this, and its why some move to heavyweight.
Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
Ive been a fan of the Cruiserweight Division pretty much since the Toney-Jirov fight like ICE said.
At the moment id say its a lot better than its neighbouring Divisions.
I'm hoping the traffic between Heavy and Cruiser becomes a Two-Way thing soon. Id also like to see more Light-Heavys move up to Cruiser.... Dawson v Macerinelli...?
Even Tarver v Byrd...? You see the picture ;)

Thats why we need a Super-Cruierweight Division! :D
Re: What do you guys think of the Cruiserweights?
It is actually in a much better state than the heavyweight division right now. I never thought I would ever see the day where I could say that.
Same with Super Middle. It was once a laughing stock division, and now it is incredibly strong.
