    Wrestling only has one weight class, and they created cruiser for everyone below. But the actual weight limit (at least in WWE) is 205 pounds so they would be heavyweight boxers. Not exactly featherweights in that class.

    I don't see a better place without making a thread to say that the CW division is probably the best "new" division.

    It's constantly had entertaining fights and fighters. Right now the era is pretty brilliant, imo it's top 3 in the sport.
