Cruiserweight SHOULD be the premier division

Huck fight in U.S : Glowacki was more impressive vs Huck than Briedis prime version.
Interestingly, Huck was capable to walk all distance vs 32 y.o Povetkin and prime Briedis, this Briedis version had put most impressive concussion loss with really 1 single punch vs 32 y.o 252 lbs Charr when Povetkin needed long combo with power punches to achieve a bit close to the same outcome.
When there is proof how capable was prime Pov vs large dudes.
34 y.o Povetkin had stopped 29 y.o Charr, before this fight Charr had only one loss with stoppage vs Klit cos cut. Pov switched Charr completely off.
35 y.o Pov had stopped 33 y.o Takam and 29 y.o Perez, these before fight vs Pov didn't had lost fights via stoppage in pro records. Pov was first boxer who stopped them in distance.
36 y.o Pov had stopped very large HW dude 35 y.o Wach. Nothing special, just very durable and large. Before Pov he had lost only lost via UD vs Wlad, looks that 36 y.o Wlad.

Huck appeared more tough than these with even younger and more agile Povetkin than these had in the ring.

Glowacki managed to handle on Huck impressive beatup.

Usyk vs Hunter for World Title in U.S too was cool, difficult to predict result before fight stuff. A lot of fights like these in CW.

 

First of all, I don't "worship" the HW division (I worship the MW division). I can barely stand it. 2nd, two of my 3 favorite HW's currently are former CW's (Usyk, Mike Jr.). 3rd, for you to surmise that I believe "skills don't matter" considering who my favorite boxers are historically and who the boxers I tend to favor currently is fairly laughable. What I stated specifically was that CW was a "pit stop" division. If anything you proved my point by bringing up Marco Huck (a CW that moved up to HW to test himself). Can you name an extremely high level (highly celebrated) CW that didn't eventually move to HW..........hence "pit stop"............The top CW's don't even want to stay in the division and flee it in droves.

 

For sure you do know damn a lot about boxing history. Patterson and Marciano with 0 effort were able to make modern CW limit weight ins.

Sorry, you mean boxing skills as ability to beat HW dude?
Masculinity measure? Spong under K-1 rules will deliver all of these your HW gods: A.J, Fury and Wilder and also Ruiz & Usyk into ICU, THIS is masculintiy level more close to real life level and there he might had more problems with prime Povetkin, Briedis or Huck.
prime Huck under K-1 rules easily might had turn even A.J or Wilder into Dadashev No2.

Well, imagine that historical boxing legends like Patterson and Marciano walking around might had make CW weight in in limits with 0 efforts.

At least I do not bring nonsense like ; if even the same Glowacki 30 y.o version, not alone Dorticos or Briedis or Usyk might had beated up till pulp and good if they will stay alive these guys: Buterelo god kid, Floyd.Jr and a lot of other notable persons good if these midgets will remain alive after having them in the ring.
That this means also their SKILLS had Rigo etc like level.
I'm not so delusional. Facts are only proff valuable to bear in mind not opinions in forums or YT comments.

 

Does anybody know why the cruiserweight division seems to have a lot less americans than other divisions? Is it because there's less fame, prestige, and money involved?

 

Well, a lot of high level CW fights had happened in europe, most likely this too was reason why CW division in overlooked.
Actually U.S during recent years had enough really high level CW boxers.
Dorticos is living in U.S, he is from Cuba. Guy get World title via stoppage win in WBSS1 tournament, then had fight vs undefeated, fresh Gassiev version.
WBSS2: Dorticos again get World Title, this time IBF World title and then fought vs current IBF CW World title holder and The Ring CW belt holder in Briedis. OK, Briedis looked aging but still.
Tabiti: he had defeated undefeated prospect in Russia and after this was legit cotender for IBF World Title vs Dorticos.
Hunter, I think prime Hunter was CW Hunter and he fought in U.S for WBO World Title vs prime Usyk.

For high level CW recently did had good boxers from U.S ( Tabiti, Hunter) or living in U.S ( Dorticos ).

 

I forget to mention, Perez when decided that he looks is small for HW, after long term preparation period had moved to CW division.
Perez is living in U.S and he is from Cuba.
Then he managed to get in WBSS tournament, this gave him chance to fight vs Briedis for WBC World Cruiser Title.
Despite Perez lost this fight, he lasted all distance and due to fact that Briedis had a lot ranking points ( he some period even had been ranked in HW TOP 10 after fight vs Charr ) Perez then remained in TOP10 list even after lost fight vs Briedis.
