Cruiser is a wasteland

[kiaba360]

LOL at the Hardcore Holly reference, and it's somewhat fitting too. The fact that I recognize some names on Wlodarczyk's resume makes me feel old; he's the sole survivor of his era and has continued his career under the radar. He recently had a fight at Bridgerweight, but that division is pretty much irrelevant.

6. Old man Wlodarcyz is still around he is to Cruiser what Bob Holly was to WWE.

diablo is young. firat arslan is still fighting at 55.

A lot of divisions are. There's too many of them. Along with the 9 belts in each weight class.

It's become a sport of inactive B-sides trying to leverage a belt for the biggest payday possible.

I always thought of cruiser as this weird division for fighters who either (A) couldn't boil down to light heavyweight or (B) were too small for heavyweight.

If you’re looking for local help with vehicles while following his fights, searching for transmission repair near me Kingwood TX can connect you with a nearby shop.

Opetaia is the strong, relentless type; Fat Zurdo uses size to control opponents; Mikeaijan is more about hype and “alpha male” branding; CBS is talented but stuck in a weak division; Entitled David is demanding and impatient; Old Man Wlodarczyk is a veteran filling a niche role in the cruiserweight division.

From that list I like Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai the most

I'm hoping Old man Wlody can get another title shot, he should be able to beat Fat Zurdo.

he 44

Badou 42

now I understand why 2 of the top 3 guys at cruiser can get away with being fat

division is lacking

but the Fat Dave-Buff Guy Jai-Fat Gilbert merry-go-round should be fun. impressive if NOEL can make his way in as a serious threat to them

Typically divisional failure comes down to injury/inactivity, lack of marquee value, and the correct match-ups not happening in a timely fashion. It's impossible to determine depth when champions and contenders are NOT fighting.

Maris Bredis is probably still the second best cruiser on the planet, I'm not sure if he's retired or what but if he came back tomorrow he's still #2
