    There's not really any Superstars. No american KO-artist fighters.

    No Americans unfortunately.... its the same reason the Flys and Straws are virtually ignored.

    So if the division gets exciting KO artists, who aren't AMERICAN, then they won't count????

    Flyweight and cruiserweight are the hottest divisions in boxing at the moment. A shame. Kalenga/Lebedev is going to be awesome.

    We Americans don't know what we're missing in not seeing Usyk, Kudryashov, Gassiev, Dorticos and Makabu all KO Artisits.


    IT WOULD HELP IF A ****ING TV CHANNEL WOULD TELEVISE CRUISERWEIGHT MATCHES HERE:patsch

    It would also really help if boxing fans could pronounce these blokes' names...

    That list is awesome.

    Lebedev is my favorite fighter in that division, though. Guillermo Jones/Lebedev is one of the best fights I've ever seen.

    You also have slick Mchunu who scared Chambers back to heavyweight. Yeah, maybe it is because Americans can't compete. People thought Chambers would've taken over the division once he went down in weight. :rofl

    I was big into Cruiserweight 2009-2011/12 but I have to say that quite literally none of the countless great fights I have wanted in the division have happened.

    it's not about the quality, wich gets ****ed upon for no reason at all.
    the problems are already mentioned in this thread, no competitive Murricans and fights between the top fighters are almost none, so they don't attract attention to it.

    Not sold on Dorticos. I see him as a bit of a tomato can crusher and once he steps up, he'll be exposed.

    It would help if any of the top guys fought each other.

    Nonsense. Even when Holyfield was dominating the division barely, if ever, got enough attention. Holyfield started to gain attention when he moved up to the Heavyweight division. Take that racist nonsense elsewhere, moron.
