      thats why i think the hope for the division is arreola just because hes so explosive....but he has fitness problems too...i like haye too, but i think hes in it for the money...because he could be a dominat cruiser

        i blame bowe and lewis.

        they ushered in the era of super heavyweights.

        now 6'2-6'3 guys who should be 220-230 lbs. are trying to bulk up to match the size of the 6'5 guys.

        plus boxing people talking every dumb**** who's 6'6 into trying out boxing.

            can't enforce fitness.

            a 220 limit for heavy would be nice and then ship the garbage guys to super heavy but that'd never happen.

            having a higher division than heavyweight will hurt the prestige of the division.

            people should take more notice of cruiser.

            some good fights happen at cruiser but nobody watches.

            6'0 to 6'4 guys weighing around 200-220 lbs. are much more pleasing to watch fight than 250-260 lb. fat boys.

                      Lightweight is the best for me. Worst probably Strawweight as i've never seen a fight from that weight class.
