    All the talk in boxing talk is usually what's going on in the welterweight division, middleweight.

    Anyone agree?

    USA is irrelevant at CW so the division isn't talked about much.

    It's great. I love the CW division. I've seen more quality fights in that division over the last few years than I have in any other one.

    because most of the big CW fights happen outside the US, so the division isn't in the spotlight it deserves to be

    Mote people talk about the fact that it isn't talked about it than actually talk about it

    And It's probably the most stacked division along with 122-126.

    stacked division, but no American or Mexican quality boxers in there, so it doesn't get much attention.

    And the best don´t fight eachother. The last unification that took place was in 2008.

    CW division has always been irrelevant in boxing talk, at least the last 40 years.

    There are lots of Usyk threads, a couple of Lebedev threads. Right now there's a Guillermo Jones thread on the front page. Glowacki got some love when he knocked out Huck. So no, there are 17 divisions and Cruiserweight is talked about more than a lot of them. The least talked about division is minimum weight.

    Also, there hasn't been much to talk about in the Cruiserweight division since the last title unification was like six years ago and the best don't fight the best. Anybody who is really good and willing to challenge themselves in that division just stops cutting weight and moves up to the heavyweight division. So there is a constant talent drain to the glamour division.

    It's a brilliant division which is virtually ignored by Americans because we are xenophobic and don't care about fighters from any part of the planet except for the good ol US of A. Its so silly.:verysad
