      the division has been so bad the last decade that guys like Briggs,tua,Holyfield,Botha,etc, are still active & talked about...other than haye,arreola,chambers,peters & a couple untested Europeans this division is dying off.both klitschkos were after thoughts in the 90's & never did anything until the big dogs disappeared or got old & fat.guys like boytsov,dimitrenko,arreola,peter,chambers,povetkin must fight each other more often to establish the next legit title threat.also we need 1 champ not 4...then recycled contender from the 90's & unproven guys like kingpin & sosnowski don't get title shots.the division needs to move forward but it keeps getting stuck in the past....step up new guys & take the old out to pasture.


      Perhaps weak.But if only those good fighters fight each other instead of ducking each other.

        And it's not because the K brothers are European it's because none of their fights are exciting and neither are the contenders who fight each other. The division is boring as a whole.
        Weaker than CW? That's hilarious, especially considering it's two best boxers just moved to HW and even Zsolt Erdei was able to pick up a strap recently, while being outweighed 17 pounds. Hell even LHW isn't stellar these days with Hopkins seemingly done with serious opponents.

          Cruiserweight has never been a real weight class. It's a stepping stone to heavyweight is all it is.

          Anything with Junior, Super, or Cruiser really shouldn't be considered.

            So Super Middleweight is just garbage, then?:thinking1:


            Cruiserweight has no history, like a Evander Holyfield?
