    Cruiserweight takes too much heat

    So many classics to me at CW

    Adamek-Cunningham
    Jirov-Toney
    DMQ-Holy 1
    DMQ-MSM 1
    MSM-Yanqi
    Mormeck-Bell 1
    Tompson-Rothman
    Thompson-Eubank

    And plenty of other damn good fights with the likes of Dale Brown, Bobby Czyz, Al Cole and so on and so forth.

    Was thinking about this cuz of the recent Jirov-Toney discussion

    its just a notoriously weak weight class...admittedly it receives a lot of prejudice.

      Qawi-Muhammad I and Muhammad-Lopez I were both at 175.

      The rematches were as well.

          Nah, it was for a regional LHW title. I think it was the NABF.

          I think it was the second fight that won FOTY as well.

            Two of the current title holders have already lost their belts in the ring and are still walking around with them, CW boxing right now is a joke.

              It has been one of the weaker divisions as of late and perhaps historically. However, it's obviously produced fireworks. Jivor-Toney was incredible, as was Adamek-Cunningham. Two of the more recent fights. Still, it's a weak division.

              These fights don't happen on a regular basis and the rankings in that division speak for themselves. Solid, but nothing great and the fights that have been taking place recently have been rather dull and embarrassing.

                  I can agree with Steve being the main man until someone beats him regardless of how he has looked lately.
