Why do so many people look down on the Cruiserweight division?

[ilovemesomeboxing]

When I was a young boy, I was watching TV with my father and as he was flipping channels, he stopped on a channel that was about to show a fight. When the announcer stated it was a cruiserweight fight, my dad yelled out "CRUISER!??????" and immediately changed the channel. He then stopped on a channel that was about to show a welterweight fight and he said "that's more like it"

My question is, why do people look down on the cruiserweight division?

Good cruiser weights always try to make it at heavyweight

Deontay is a life long cruiser
David haye
Usyk
etc


so the talent pool is drained. It’s no man’s land.

Cause they're id.iots (the ones who look down on it)

It's very simple, Cruiserweight has a s t u p i d name. Casuals don't know what a Cruiserweight is and it's in a weird spot between Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight, it's confusing.

Here's a solution, switch Cruiser with LHW, problem solved.

The weight classes would then look something like this,

Cruiserweight - 175
Light Heavyweight - 200
Jr. Heavyweight - 224
Heavyweight - Unlimited

The lack of American talent and fighters in general in the division.
