    **** off mate. I'm not gonna pretend to know everything like some ****s do. I'm asking for people's opinions, not imposing mine.

    The best cruisers always wanna get some of that heavy money. I haven't followed the division very thoroughly, so ****ing what?

    And yeah, there's nothing special there from what I've seen. Lebedev's fine, whatever, Drozd & Glowacki are bog standard champs. Usyk looks great but not proven as a pro just yet.

    No, not 154 with Andrade and Lara in it. It's got the Charlos and possibly still has Canelo. 135 doesn't even have a star. Surely, that would go above 154. Also, is minimum weight any good right now?

    :thumbsup

    I'd say I'm a big fan, I just haven't been watching so religiously my entire life.

    I know what's up when I see it though.

    Andrade and the Charlos are some of the most overrated fighters in the sport. Lara is okay but nothing special either.

    :good

    Check out a few of the guys I mentioned, you'll like them. Its a very underrated and sadly too frequently ignored division, Gassiev and Cieslak are worth a look too.

    You just pretended to know about Cruiserweight.
    Maybe if you don't know what you're talking about, just don't talk about it next time:rofl
    That is the sh*t that makes this place a garbage can. Place is full of ignorant sh*t talkers.
    No one forced you to give your ignorant opinion on a division you don't follow. Just don't say anything.

    I've seen a good bit of most of them. A lot of Huck, Afolabi's from my end :arran

    To me, it looks like an exciting division right now, but like I said in the question, I'm disregarding that in favour of ability. Not seeing anything outstanding there with the possible exception of Usyk moving like a ****ing welterweight.

    135 is a wasteland at the moment. Plenty of competitive fights there (Marsili vs Zlaticanin is mouthwatering) but when the most unproven guy their is paper face Linares then you're struggling.

    154 appears to have talent but it's all a bit dull. The Charlo's, Lara, Smith, Vanes and the such really do nothing for me

    Heavyweight is a strange one...theirs a small deep end...and a giant paddling pool...and a pretence that its a good division because Klitschko isn't still on top.

    Cruiser weight is cleary the number one Division right now. You have 15 absolute top fighters facing each other. Its really pitty that it gets no attention

    Huh, I'd probably rate it from worst to better, but all weak.

    1. 135 lbs.
    -Absolutely dire division right now. It's probably in the worst shape it's ever been.

    2. 154 lbs.
    -Wow, this division is a wasteland. You have Lara as, arguably, the number 1. He's probably one of the weakest fighters ever too.

    3. 105 lbs.
    -Some standout fighters, but it's not known for it's depth in talent.

    4. 168 lbs.
    -I was laughed at saying it's weaker than middleweight, but I don't know how it's stronger. Bute, Groves, and Abraham are shadows and they still managed to become contenders, beltholder in Abraham's case, and give tough fights to the top fighters. At this point, it's just Jack and DeGale beating up on corpses. Medina is a tough SOB, but he's a very limited fighter. Could've gotten a draw or a win against DeGale.

    5. 160 lbs.
    -Yes, this division is still weak, but it *kind of* houses two P4P fighters in Canelo and Golovkin.
