    Cruiserweight The Irrelevant Big Man Weight Class

    Cruiser doesn’t get the love that middleweight, smw, lhw, and hw does.

    what gives

    Is it because of the lame name for the class? Too close to heavyweight that it gets eclipsed?

    It’s because any stars the division produces immediately move to Heavyweight.

    They’ll never have a Hagler type who’ll bring the attention to the division because anyone who gains notoriety will immediately chase more lucrative fights up at Heavyweight.

    We’ve seen it time and time again from Usyk to Holyfield.

      Well since they moved the weight limit to 200 pounds 'I personally think it is a division, where classically styled physique Heavyweight's chose to hide out and compete'.

      If the Cruiser weight Division was still 190 pounds, there would be a higher number of these Heavyweights fighting 'Back within the Heavyweight Division'.

      Note: Classically styled physique Heavyweight's are fighters weighing over 200 pounds 'But they are not Super Heavyweights'.

      For the large majority of Heavyweight History, classically styled physique Heavyweights have dominated the sport. There has only ever been one Super Heavyweight Undisputed World Champion 'Lennox Lewis'.

      In modern recent Heavyweight History, the last two Cruiser-weights who have moved up into the Heavyweight Division 'With the intention to compete seriously, have won pretty much 90% of the most prestigious titles in the Division'.

      So depending on how you look at the game, the Cruiser weight Division is not irrelevant 'Statistically it is potentially stacked full of fighters. Who can not only add to the competition but alter the landscape of today's modern Heavyweight Division'.

      Tyson Fury is 270+ pounds, and he still has not signed to fight Usyk.

      Also it is not all about Heavyweight Division. The Cruiser weight Division has never been a bad division, it is always fairly competitive 'And standards across the board, the fighters are in condition'.

      From a pure boxing perspective, it is not a bad or low standard Division 'But it s a division where I think the classically styled old school Heavyweights are fighting at'.

      So as you can when I sit back and analyse the History of Cruiser weight Division universally 'The Division has relevance, not only within itself but? As a potential direct threat to all fighters in the Heavyweight Division which is the Ultimate Division'.
