Other than Evander Holyfield who do you rate as number 1 Cruiserweight all time?

Other than Evander Holyfield who do you rate as number 1 Cruiserweight of all time?

 

Outside of Holyfield, I'd go:

1. Carlos DeLeon
2. David Haye
3. Johnny Nelson
4. Jean Marc-Mormeck
5. Steve Cunningham
6. Anaclet Wamba
7. James Toney
8. Juan Carlos Gomez
9. Dwight Muhammed Qawi
10. Marco Huck

 

Carlos De Leon is #2, based on resume and the fact he is the only 4-time world champion in that division.

 

:good

 

dennis lebedev should have been there. just wasn't active enough

 

Cunningham over Haye for me. Jones, Wlod and Huck are better wins than Mormeck, Frago and Enzo for me.

 

very true.

 

Haye easily.

 

You mean, who do I rate as number 1 besides the number 1? Thsi is an impossibility unless you mean to pretend that Evander Holyfield never existed. If that's what you mean, then I'll say Dwight Qawi....and that's only because Floyd Patterson never campaigned as a cruiserweight.

 

It's a pity they jobbed Lebedev against Huck and he was beaten up by a PED dosgrace too. He should technically still be undefeated in my view.

 

Wonder if Alfred Cole could possibly make a top 10 list or maybe be just outside it. He had a pretty good IBF title run for a while.

 

Just outside for me.

 

The fact that David Haye seems like the logical choice, pretty much tells you all that you need to know about the cruiserweight division.

Apart from a short period after its conception, it has not been a successful weight class, and has not attracted the best and brightest talent that was capable of making the weight.

 

Fair point I suppose.

 

I liked watching Gomez on his run. A very difficult cruiser to deal with.
