Why can't cruiser weight get more coverage I got a plan for the division.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the cruiser weight division is the newest one. I think that and most people either fight in LHW in which they have a good chance to fight the starts of middle and SMW or move up north to heavyweight.

Beanflicker and davilajones, make great points.

the Heavyweight will always receive 4 times more coverage than any other division, this is true since beginning of time.

It might seem a herculean task to fight the giants a heavyweight but that's what the public want to see, taking on all comers not saying someone is to big to fight.

There is nothing wrong with the CW division and it better be here to stay. It's necessary. You can no longer expect someone to jump form 175lbs to fighting guys that might weigh 250! It's ridiculous!

Of course CW will always be a stepping stone for HW, like Light HW before it! As if fighters don't step up from lightweight to welterweight or welterweight to middleweight as their careers progress and they get older and heavier! That statement is moronic!

I agree with the OP here, The cruiser division has produced great fighters and has held a high standard throughout it's history including today. Whenever you see a division with little American influence or relevance (i.e. the heavier divisions today) you see American fans trash talking the whole division or the era or both. It's just an immature response to something that is only a problem in jealous eyes.
