    What do the Cruiserweights mean to you?

    Do you think it can ever be a top division?

    Who is the Best Cruiserweight boxer ever?

    Its going through a great renaissance now and is far better than it was in years gone by when it was breeding ground for fat light heavies in small heavyweights. The extra 10lbs has really helped. O yea Evander Holyfield.

    I think that the crusierweights are not as bad a division as people think. There are several good fighters out there right now even after David Haye left the division. Tomas Adamek is close to becoming a HOF worthy fighter. While guys like Cunningham, Mormeck, Bell, Maccarinelli, Flores, Braithewaite, Wilson, Jones, Hauck, Tokarev, Woldarczyk, Banks, Palacios, and Godfrey are all very good.

    Enad Licina has to be in the mix after yesterday's performance against Herrera as well

    Possibly the most exciting division out there along with SMW and Welter

    Huck seems to be a quite dirty fighter! all these punches behind the head.. and get away with it:nono But it was a really sweet uppercut!

    Yes, but Battelo's leading with the head all the time wasn't any better.
