    As someone who doesn't follow anything under light middleweight, I'd say Cruiserweight is currently the most boring weight division. No stars, no competition, just a boring, pointless division without a single fight to look forward to.

    You don't follow anything under light middleweight? You're missing out on welterweight.

    Wtf? I understand not following anything bellow Featherweight or even Lightweight.. but Light Middle?

    How can you call yourself a boxing fan? Welterweight has been the premiere division in boxing for a number of years.

    The most boring division imo is clearly Lightweight. Besides Crawford who's an outstanding talent, the division is extremely dry right now.

    Cruiserweight is fine, I'd say Lightweight or Light Middleweight currently.

    I follow welterweight, I just forgot it's below middleweight, I confuse the two.

    I actually love CW division, one of my favourites. I'd say Jr Middle or Lightweight.

    I would have said Super Bantamweight, but with the addition of Inoue, and fights like Tete-Butler on the horizon, it really isn't looking so bad.

    Lightweight would be my choice.

    Cruiserweight would be awesome if the top guys fought each other regularly

    CW division isn't a bad division, it just isn't given the proper coverage in the U.S. (no big U.S. names),

    Even when Cunningham and Holyfield were kings in that division, hardly anybody followed it. Cruiserweight is just a weight class where the fighters are too scared to fight at HW.

    I enjoy it though, it's a pretty entertaining division.

    I'll be controversial and say Welterweight. Fed up of not seeing the fights that make sense getting made. How Floyd, Pacquiao, Khan and Thurman haven't had one fight made between the 4 of them is a mystery.

    Super Bantamweight is pretty weak, Super Featherweight is frustrating more than boring.

    I agree with you in fact I did a thread in the summer saying the WW division was starting to look weak. Its not the weakest but its faltering.
