It's definitely quality at the moment, though some guys still use iot as stepping stone. Get entertaining fights there even if the fighters aren't genuine contenders since thery're powerful but with much less of the hugfests we get at heavyweight.
You can make a case that it's a more exciting division right now than LHW. There is a quality unified champ taking on a real top challenger (Haye v Enzo), and a handful quality fighters who have taken up long term residence in the division (Bell, Mormeck, Cunningham) to go along with a good former LHW champ who has moved up (Adamek).
And there's always the Ding-a-Ling man. He's always good for nice FnF event.

The Cruiserweight division has been pretty good for a couple of years already

I think the divisions been OK, it could certainly be doing better that's for sure.
Really looking forward to what Adamek can do there.
The problem with Cruiserweight is that whenever a guy is top in it they want to move up to heavyweight. Alot more prestige and money up a little in weigh

The guy im most excited about at CW is Herbie Hide. The guy has amazing power, altho a glass jaw. I think against men his own size rather than giant heavyweights he could be a force. I see him getting near the top of the division.
Still true in some cases, but some guys just fill out and it's the natural move. That's what will happen with Haye. But with the HW division becoming a place where 240+ lbs is pretty normal, and the weight limit raised to 200lb, more and more decent fighters are sticking around CW. When Cruiser was 194 and 220 was the norm for heavyweights, guys couldn't really resist the temptation to move up. Now a fighter better think long and hard about whether or not he wants to bang with guys 40+ lbs more, giving up huge reach. Even 220lb guys like Povetkin and Chambers have become 'tweeners.

Should RJJ go for a title at CW before he retires? That'd be a title in 5 divisions......
