    Who were the best cruiserweights, in terms of head-to-head abilities (not "greatness")?

    Men who actually fought in the modern cruiserweight division--not undersized heavyweights.

    Pretty close to how I see it. I think Holy and Uysk are even at CW but Uysk has a way to go at heavyweight before he is on the same level. I would also add DeLeon to the middle of the list and drop Lebedev for Jirov.

    I forgot that Saul Montana fought at cruiser.

    I would add him. Otherwise, immaculate list I presented.
