Does anybody care about the Cruiserweight division?

Was of a division... the guys there very rarely compete with the LH's, and when they go to HW they don't do any better than someone that could have started off as a HW OR a LH.

Sure, we had Evander Holyfield. But we also had Michael Moorer, Muhammad Ali and a host of other LH's that did much more from coming from 175.

Just abolish it. But they won't. Because of sanctioning fees, etc. The only man worth watching at CW is Marco Huck- and I wish that Huck and Adonis Stevenson hook it up!!!

That's a silly opinion. How many light heavies or below have climbed their way into HW competitiveness? Moorer, Byrd, Adamek, Toney and not many others.

In Ali's time the average boxer at HW was only 200lbs (Cruiser). So that doesn't really count. It didn';t make sense to have a CW division then, but it does now.

What do you mean Michael Moorer accomplished more at HW than Holyfield?

He was a champ sure but he did F/A compared with Holyfield.

If haters can just put it aside for a moment they would be forced to agree that David Haye is right up there as well, don't try to tell me he isn't skilled.

Eddie Chambers, yeah a real punch bag that guy!

Mormeck was good.

There are plenty of good boxers at Cruiser and always has been. The CW division is the natural launch pad for smaller fighters to enter the HW division where the cash is, this possibly causes an emigration of the best fighters from Cruiser to Heavy beyond their natural weight class.

Take away Cruiser, and this^ will apply to the LHW division again, as it did previously and it's the same situation except the boxers who step up would have to build/fatten up even FURTHER from their natural weight if they want to compete at HW. A deplorable situation.

Cruiser must stay. Obviously.

A "super-cruiser" division is just around the corner.

Has some of the most entertaining fighters in it and has had some of the best fights over the last few years. Far better then a lot of divisions out there.

cruiserweight division has not been good really ever. i think that we need the division but i think that the real good fighters usually skip cruiser from LHW or at least take a very short stop there to get to HW. maybe its just the fact that the fighters understand that cruiser isnt a popular weight class so they dont want to stick around.

Holyfield ruled it. David Haye did for a bit but otherwise not a brilliant division but I do care about it.
