          The cruiserweight devision needs to be eliminated, period. All throughout most of boxing history, all of the great Heavyweights would be cruiser weights by todays standards. Its no coincidence that the rise of the cruiser weight division coincided with the downfall of the Heavyweight division.

          Emanual Steward once said that as a fighter gets taller he gets less coordinated. The heavyweight division has been relegated to the realm of uncoordinated circus freaks. Any fighter below 6'5 and 240lb is considered "small".

          Never mind that guys like "BIG" George Foreman came into the ring at 208lb during their prime.

          The cruiser weight division is a farce, a place for slick heavyweights to hide from the Giants. The giants that they would so easily fell should they muster up the courage to step into the ring with one of them. Evander Holyfield is evidence enough of why the cruiser weight division is not needed. The cruiser weights are plenty big enough to step in there with the big boy.

          Not to mention, the cruiser weight division is perhaps the least publicized division in boxing despite its deep pool of talent. A pool of talent that would have kept the Heavyweight division alive and kicking had the cruiser weight division not existed.

          Look at all of the best fights in Heavy weight history. Can you name me one that was Giant Heavy against Giant Heavy? Me neither. Ali-Frazier, Holyfield-Bowe, what do they have in common? A fighter that falls within the cruiser weight bounds, fighting a real big heavyweight.

          Anyone that even proposes further diluting the Heavyweight talent pool by either raising the cruiser weight limit or creating a new weight class deserves death.

                I agree guys like bell, mormeck and haye would add to the heavyweight division and are good enough to beat a lot of the bigger guys, byrd proved you don't have to be big to be a champ. I think they should get rid of the division.

                  1 cruiserweight division is too much for me as it is.

                  I've talked to casual observers who haven't even heard of it.
