    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.

    Thumbs up 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!
