What's the point of cruiserweight division?

[_Rexy_]

Cruiser was absolutely stacked a couple years back with Hunter, Gassiev, Usyk, Dorticos, Briedis, etc. but four of those five have moved up to heavyweight, and LHW's rarely make the jump to cruiser.

There is a tiger weight class now: 224 lbs. Perfect for Deontay wilder

I think cruiserweight went down to 190.

[MartialMind]

So anyone who can't make 175lb should be fighting Fury and AJ?

Come in, it has a purpose

There should be something between 175 and HW but 200 lbs is too close to HW especially when you factor in weight cutting and rehydration.

CW should be closer to LHW than to HW.

[Toffee]

Cruiserweight has to have a home. Whether it's for those too big to stay down or too small to ever really compete at heavyweight.

It's certainly got more of a role to play than some of the weights below it... Who really can't cut 3kgs? If you're too big to get another 3kgs off then you're trying to box in the wrong division. Bulk up and move up.

Yeah I don't see what was wrong with the old 190 limit, if you can't cut to 190 then yeah you should be at heavyweight.

I'm cool with it.

If anything, it's the only of the non-original 8 weight classes that should exist.

I just think it should go back to 190 though.

[South Champion]

they should also do away with these "jr" weights..its ******..go back to the original 8

Half the divisions need to go, and there should only be two belts per division. There are too many average champions, and definitely too many mediocre title challengers & mandatories.

It's similar to how there are too many NBA teams now. A team as bad as the Knicks shouldn't even be allowed. If there were 4 less NBA teams, no one would even miss the players that would be forced out of the league.
