no big names but interesting and competetive division nonetheless

It's unfortunate that the CW is more like a transfer lounge..with the best of the division moving up..

imagine how interesting would be a division with those fighters fighting each other, unfortunately a lot of them moved to HW:

-David Haye
-Tomasz Adamek
-Denis Lebedev
-Marco Huck
-Krzysztof Włodarczyk
-Yoan Pablo Hernandez
-Steve Cunningham
-Jean Marc Mormeck

the next wave of cruiser was/is decent also

-Oleksandr Usyk
-Grigory Drozd
-Murat Gassiev
-Krzysztof Głowacki
-Mairis Briedis
-Tony Bellew
-Yuniel Dorticos

of course, it's a very European, especially Central/Eastern Euro division, so it's not popular in the States, that is a problem, it makes CW unprofitable to stay there for long

..I never liked the idea when the best European boxers have to travel to the States, even settle down there to prove their worth..

me too, just pointing out that lack of interest in US causes that CW fighters earn much less compared to HW or LHW, that is why the best fighters doesnt stay in CW for too long.. CWs usually arouse interest only in their respective countries and among the hardcore fans worldwide.

I always thought this was an overlooked division. Holyfield was a great cruiser.
There is a Ukrainian kid fighting out of Pittsburgh that should be in that top 15.
“demolition man” Pinchuk. Don’t ask me how to spell his first name. The kid can fight and
they match this kid pretty tough.

Never heard about Lyubomyr Pinchuk, does he have some decent amateur background? i see he already has a loss on his record, but he's still young, just 23.

I been hearing he had like 200 amateur fights and the little ukrainian pitbull dovhun had over 300.
Been going to shows a long time around here and these 2 are the 2 best I seen
