Another undersized microbe to queue against the Titanic Leviathans of Wlad, Fury, Price, Helenius etc. Don't care who you are but when was the last time you saw an effective 6'3 or less fighter do anything worthwhile in this division since Holyfield??? We need a new div.

They come to the heavyweight division because they get paid peanuts at cruiserweight. It's sad. I think the cruiserweight division is the most under utilised division in boxing.

To quote another boxing writer, it's the bastard son division of the heavyweights.

Let him move up. If he's complaining about a division dominated by Euro's, he's going to get the same issue when he moves back to HW.

Adds a bit of depth to the division, which isn't all bad. It's another name to add to Wladimir's CV.

Agreed. Wish all the small heavies would just move back down and start fighting eachother. I would love a Super Six - like tournament for the Cruiserweight division. Adamek, Cunningham, Kayode, Huck, etc...

Yes.

Too bad HBO, ESPN and Showtime usually ignore cruiserweights.

In Europe it's a popular division.
