Actually I think the cruisers have loads of talent.

Of course you have a pretty clear cup top four - Mormeck, Bell, Cunningham, Wlod - then you have guys like Haye and Enzo from the UK who probably round out the top 6. No arguments there, all 6 have real talent. All with the exception of Haye and Enzo have stellar opposition on the records and all have done well in big fights. That's a strong top 6.

Then you have guys who if they were more active would be really good. Guillermo Jones was top 5 coming off his victory over Braithwaite. In the bout previous, Braithwaite had given Mormeck fits before succumbing to the relentlessness of Mormeck. But the fight was VERY good, a great back and forth battle that was unfortunately cut short by a bad stoppage on the ropes. Both then fell off after they just did nothing. But if he could get back, he's definitely a talent.

Marco Huck is a real fast guy who scored a very good victory over Tokarev just last week. Tokarev looked very good when he beat Felix Cora Jr and apparently, Huck just simply outclassed him. Huck would have to factor in there somewhere, Tokarev probably just outside the top 10 now.

Then you have a couple up and comers who have really been making waves. First being Matt Godfrey who Teddy Atlas just said was his favorite prospect in all of boxing. Very talented guy, possibly the best pure boxing cruiserweight in the world right now. Another guy maybe not top 10 yet, David Banks. Manny Steward's Kronk Gym prospect, made a very big step up when he beat Eliseo Castillo last year and picked himself up off the mat to do it.

Then you have very talented guys at the fringes like Darnell Wilson.

Cruiserweight is sold short by it's lack of TV exposure imo. It is a very talented division with a top 10 that is among the most stacked in boxing. Welterweight, superfeatherweight and middleweight might have a leg up on it but it's definitely deeper then everything above 160 imo.

Calloway just doesn't fit into it much. I think he would be a good opponent for a lot of those guys, but that's what he would be, an opponent. Maybe he would be able to beat someone like Felix Cora Jr., but even that would be a stretch imo. I doubt we see him in any sort of TV main event ever again. You might be right about the guys I listed being pretty good, but I still think every guy I mentioned in this post beats Calloway.
