    I said this almost 2 years ago.:deal And yeah it is.
     
  2. CW is where the real hitters roam. The US has nobody of note to keep an eye on due to the EE depth.

    It's packed with talent and I've seen a lot of really good CW fights these last few years too.

    Glowacki vs Huck
    Glowacki vs Cunningham
    Huck vs Afolabi
    Ramirez vs Afolabi
    G. Jones vs Lebedev
    Lebedev vs Kalenga
    Dorticus vs Kalenga
    Durodola vs Kudryashov
    Briedis vs Durodola
    Makabu vs Kucher
    Makabu vs Mchunu

    I'm sure I'm forgetting some too.

    There are tons of absolutely mouthwatering potential match ups that can be made during these next couple of years as well.
     
  5. Tomorrow when Tony Bellew joins the elite and becomes a title holder, the division reheats as much as Heavyweight has since Klitschko was dethroned.

    Wlod vs Chakhkiev was a great title fight & Yoan Pablo Hernandez had some really entertaining defences: Cunningham II, Ross, Alexeev & Arslan

    Drozd-Masternak deserves a mention too

    CW has been one of the deepest and most competitive divisions for years now. It may lack star names, but you won't find a more competitive division. Lacking star names has been good for the CW division. With less money and the nonsense that goes with it (A-side/B-side, etc) the fights fans want to see get made more in this division. Also, the guys are big, but they aren't stupidly big so they have technique and can fight at a good pace.

    From a competitive, entertainment and political point of view, CW is the best division in boxing right now.

    80 percent of the elite cruiser division could probably occupy the top 20 spots of heavyweight rankings :rofl
