    The cruiserweight division...

    the most overlooked, underrated division?

    There has been many very overlooked, epic fights in recent times in the cruiserweight division.

    Huck vs Afolabi 2 was a belter.
    Hernandez vs Cunningham 2 was action packed.
    Afolabi vs Brudov was a good en.
    Tarver derailing Green in his hometown.

    Kayode vs Tarver though for kind of the wrong reasons is a very interesting fight.

    Some really good prospects out there...Masternak, Brad Pitt, The Brazilian that is like 30-0 with 30 K.Os & just knocking everyone dead that is starting to step up. The Polish guy whose name I can never spell, not wlodacyafsafafaffsck or whatever, the other one haa
    Rakhim ''The Machine'' Chakhiev whose an absolute animal and possesses some of the most vicious, brutal bodyshots I have ever seen.

    IDK just thought it would make a change to talk about the overlooked cruisers.
    Any upcoming fights in the cruiserweight division you are hyped for or would love to see?

    Mateusz Masternak just came off a really good scrap with Felipe Romero and is fighting today actually....idk against who though...

    U already know how I feel about Afolabi-Huck II, one of the best fights of the year so far in my opinion...

    "Talent" wise I wouldn't consider it one of the top divisions...but folks are always complaining about the heavier divisions being a bore nowadays...the Cruiserweight division is stacked with dudes that can ****

    Both Afolabi-Huck II and Hernandez-Cunningham II had really great 12th rounds and were great fights overall....Hernandez came in as a pretty big underdog to both fights...

    I think the fact that Cunningham is the only ranked American Cruiserweight has hurt the division's popularity over here...as is the case with Heavyweights as well...

    I'd like to see any match ups between Huck, Hernandez & Wlodarczyk to unify the belts...top 3 guys in the division anyway IMO.

      I like Masternak, I think he has a bright future. Yeah its pretty much dominated by Europeans these days which has lead me to wonder when Alexander Frenkel will return?
      I'm not sure we'll ever have a clear cut winner between Afolabi & Huck but they sure bring out the best in each other. I'd love to see a trilogy.
      Hernandez & Wlodarczyk would be a great fight or either guy vs Lebedev (Who I just can't get into)

        Overlooked, by who? Is this trolling? That division is loaded, and probably one of the most exciting and popular-among-casual-fans in the world.

          i think Guerillimo Jones beats all of these guys dude is old but he can fight...Lebedev is a joke he wont fight anyone with a pulse and keeps on defenfing the "interm" belt...id like to see a tourney...Jones-Lebedev (WBA), Huck-Alafobi III (WBO), Hernandez-Masternak (IBF), Wlodarczyk-Tarver (WBC)....have the winners fight in the next round & unify in the last round

            Yes.

            I think it's ignored because it's Europeans that dominate. I can only think of Cunningham that has had some say in the division in recent years that isn't a European.

            Great division, some great fights and some underrated boxers.

            I don't like his attitude but I respect Marco Huck for staying very active and providing us with some great fights.

            Probably my favourite Cruiserweight. Can't wait for Rakhim Chakhiev to get in on the action.
