The cruiserweight division has long been excluded from polite or even impolite conversations, but this division is boxing's hidden gem. Don King's recent show in Madison square Garden proved once again what should now be an obvious fact - the cruiserweight is the best big man division in boxing. Forget the heavyweight division. While the heavyweight division continues its hard earned decline into utmost mediocrity, the cruiserweights have been producing exciting fights on a consistant basis.
Look at the top ten of the cruiserweights division. These are excellent fighters, all of them are true contenders for any title plus one undisputed master, O’Neil Bell. I should say the undisputed master for the moment. What makes this an intriguing division is that these fighters are evenly matched and no one can take for granted who would win a particular match up.
Only confrontation in the ring settles the matter. So Bell may be the master now but his reign is precarious. Champion Bell could easily become ex-champion Bell in his next fight (which is scheduled with the undefeated Steve Cunningham) - that is how balanced this division is. [details]
