    I don't like that and I think the current classes are ok, but something like this would be better than what you propose:

    174-200 Cruiser

    200-225 Heavyweight

    225+ Super Heavy

    Because smaller boxers like Chagaev cannot compete with the bigger boxers. ;)

    I'm not more impressed with the division at the moment than usually, but in terms of watching fights: I'll take an unknown cruiserweight fight over probably any other division. You get the power of the big guys, but with speed and activity. It's a shame it doesn't get more exposure.

    Uh, no. If you knew anything about the cruiserweight division, you would know why.

    Everytime I watch a Cruiserweight fight it always turns out to be entertaining. I dont know much about the fighters in the division but they always put on a show. Like the Ding fight from a few weeks ago.

    Alexeev is head and shoulders above champs and former champs like Cunningham and Wlodarcyzk.Besides his big amateur rival Solis fights at heavy weight.
    I for my part would surely bet my money on the hard punching Russian amateur star against either Bell,or Mormeck.
    Alexeev has the potential to be a long reigning cruiser weight champ.
    Of course there is much talent in this weight division at present:Huck,Kraj,Hernandez,and so on.
    However,Alexeev is the best of that rising prospects IMO.
