Which one has more skilled boxers ? Cruiserweight or Heavyweight especially right now

[PRINCEKOOL]

Skill for skill there are most likely many divisions than have more technically skilled fighters 'Than the Heavyweight division'.

The highest level fight that has happened recently in the Heavyweight division was 'Joshua vs Usyk I & II'.

Especially during the second fight, the body movements of both fighters and the intensity of the action resembled I would say 'A light Heavyweight fight'.

The skill level of the Heavyweight has decreased since the 90's 'Inside game seems devoid at elite level'. Although Joshua vs Usyk was a high level fight, those two fighters only really displayed offense from Long range to Mid range.

Tyson Fury is the only super heavyweight active in the division who has inside game 'He is multi-dimensional fighter, like most great fighters are'.

Fury is not super great in any area, but he gives it a good go. And when you combined that effort, attitude with all of his attributes 'That is why he is currently ranked number 1'.

I personally still rate the Heavyweight division as the best division. In terms of competition, and just the whole variation of fighters. But skill for skill being honest, I don't rate it as the most skillful division.

Skill for skill the ability level across the board is way under-par compared to past Heavyweight era's. The most noticeable area where today's heavyweights are under par in is? Inside game, and aggression 'Plus I don't rate the conditioning of the fighters'. Heavyweight fighters these days are vividly less aggressive, and seem not to be able to fight in the inside.

Anthony Joshua almost has zero inside game. Usyk also struggled with Derek Chisora's inside game 'The only reason why Usyk won that fight, was because Chisora fatigued and enabled Uysk to create distance' To then box from mid-long range etc.

Overall I think boxers in all division these days are less aggressive at elite level. It seems like the higher you go up in levels, the more fighters want to fight from Long - Mid Range, in a controlled manner.

That is why fighters like Deontay Wilder, even though he himself is not super skilled technically. His share chaotic aggression, is a challenge for skilled fighters. It is like that movie Demolition man, were Wisley Snipes comes into confrontation with the cops 'And they don't know how to deal with him'.

Cruiserweight obviously!! Usually the smaller they are the more they can do in the ring! HW's can crack though!

Heavyweight is embarrassing to be honest. Most of them are fat.

CW fights to me are more competitive than most HW fights.

[just the facts]

I’m not supremely dialed in on most of todays CWs but both Usyk and Fury are more skilled than any of todays CWs I’ve seen.
