    Why is cruiser weight so underated?

    Optetaia just detronthed a top dog Bredis in a good fight btw and nobody seems to really care.
    It was the same a few years ago When Usyk and Bredis had a great fight nobody paid much attention.
    The same with Dorticos brutal ko of Tabiti or Huck vs Glowaski one greatest fights of all time and no one seems to pay much attention when there’s talent in this division with guys like Dorticos, Bredis, Okolie, Optetaia.

    I think overall the division is seen as guys too small and not good enough for heavyweight. more or less stuck between 2 glamour divisins. i know you have the holyfields and usyks as the exceptions.

      - - Nobody paid much attention to the peanuts Deyonce was making until Blubber Fury needed low hanging fruit for a comeback. Remember when Fury did a walk through downtown LA asking if anyone knew who Deyonce was? It was embarrassing.

      Like when he fought Jason Gavern at the StubHub in front of a few relatives...embarrassing!

        The man asked about cruiserweight but you find a way to hate on a heavyweight

          It's because cruiserweights were never on television like that.

          Out of sight. Out of mind

            - - He compared cruiser interest to heavywt interest. I pointed out the low interest in heavywt Deyonce until Fury came along.

              I sleep on following this division as close as others. I enjoyed that tournament though, that was LEGIT

              I remember Showtime had a mixup of memorable fights with Wayne Braithwaite, O'neill Bell and Mormeck

              Guillermo Jones was also in there as well I think. That was the last time I remember CW getting that kind of sustained attention between the old cable networks. SHO then carried a couple of Haye's fights, vs Enzo for sure.

                Nope. Never made any comparison. Just simply asked why cruiser is underrated. Never used the term heavyweight in any of his sentences. Stop embarrassing yourself.

                  It has never been lucrative division, but it is interesting.

                    Not only are you a HATER. But youre also a liar. Nowhere in his post did he compare cruiser and heavy.

                    You're a HATER Mrs. QUEEN
