    Cruiser is an irrelevant weight class, so no.

    It's a Euro-dominated weight class too

    There's someone with the name Graziano who's young and undefeated, but I only know of him through since his name on boxrec some time ago. Americans really don't go for the 200lb weight class

    there are a few cubans at cruise and wont be surprise seen them taking over the division.Yoan P hernandez already has a belt and going against Guiilermo Jones, but right behind him are Gonzalez,Dorticos,and couple more wich names i cant remember.
    Still, i believe the europeans have the edge right now.

    Diference between that punching bag he kept being shown hitting, and his opponents, was...well, not much. A guy making tough faces, working out, making tough guy faces, and ko' ing stiffs.


    I like ot see natural cruisers--no weight training, do good. Then see how they do with a bit of bulking up after success at cruiser..

    That's a bit harsh considering the fact that a very large percentage of the US population, if in shape, would fit into this weight class. That fact alone should make it relevant.

    meh...

    Isiah Thomas maybe. But he seems suffer from the Cunningham syndrome of fighting once every 3 years. But Thomas has had some minor success at the amateur level and he's 22 so he'll have time to work.

    Rommel Rene is ass. But he might be one of the top prospects. He won the Golden Gloves at Light Heavy in 2005.

    Jeremiah Graziano is a guy probably going to do the best out of this bunch though it ain't much. He is 14-0 right now and was the 2008 United States Amateur Heavyweight Champion. But to say he is taking the safe road is to be kind. Every one of his opponents has been garbage or too inexperienced to determine if they are garbage or not.

    in shape?? More like MW or LMW.
    the average white american is: 5 ft 10 1⁄2, doesnt mean much, white americans arent into sports
    black americans: 5 ft 10 in MW, LMW mostly (except Tyson)
    mexican americans 5 ft 7 WW LWW and under
