Do you think the cruiserweight division has enough history to be regarded as an important division?

    do you think eventually Ali and Usyk and Holmes would outgrow the weight division? I think Ali and Holmes were legit walking around 215 lbs during their peak so its hard to picture them staying at cruiser forever.

    it sucks but it's needed since there's too much of a weight difference from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight. That being said, modern Cruiserweights are just heavyweights who rehydrate their weight, it doesn't really make sense in the grand scheme of things. They should change the weight classes around, middleweight 165, super middleweight 175, light heavyweight 190, get rid of the cruiserweight division and anybody 191 to unlimited be heavyweight.
