Boxrec Has David Haye #2 ATG Cruiserweight

Adamek & Nelson deserve a mention, both good CWs

 

Especially Nelson.

 

Since his grand total of World title fights at the weight is 2, I think he should no.1 myself.

 

James Toney and Virgill Hill also had decent spells at cruiser.

 

Anyone remember Amaclet Wamba (spellin)? He was also a decent fighter. Improved as his career went on.

 

Tarver is still highly rated :yep

 

Sorry I cannot come to terms with this yet....

What in the holy mother of Mary and Joseph formula can make Haye no.2. Did they have Enzo and Mormeck as top 5 ATGS?

 

Carlos De Leon, Johnny Nelson ahead of him imo

 

yes,

 

Earl Hickey... The Colinthfc of New Zealand.

 

Tarver could have been a superb cruiser if he'd moved up early enough.

Hill was a top class fighter, 20 world title wins at 175, though the loss to Hearns looks bad despite Tommy being one of the greatest ever.

 

that is a tremendous win for Hearns, Hill was a fine boxer

 

Tremendous win for Tommy or bad loss for Hill?

Or both?

 

Evander beat the man to be the man:thumbsup

I actually think it's more of the former. On a strictly technical assessment of what happened you can look at it on the surface of things and take from it that during his 175 pound campaign he effectively just has a win over Hill and a loss to Barkley. But that doesn't tell the whole story in terms of the quality of fighter that Hill lost to. Hearns was still a world class operator at that time, and that's to say the least. You could call it a bad loss for Hill, but I would maintain that is more so a great win for Hearns than it was a bad loss for Hill. I always saw it as Hearns' last stand really.
