    Toney could be the oldest. 35 when beating Jirov.

    Guillermo Jones was 38 when he won the WBA belt at cruiser.
    Holyfield and Gassiev were 23 when they won their first cruiserweight titles I think so I'd guess that they're the youngest.


    Correction: Jones was 36. As was Virgil Hill so maybe they take the title of oldest men to win a cruiserweight title

    Giacobbe Fragomeni was 40 when he lost his belt to Zsolt Ederi. He was probably the oldest with Holyfield being the youngest.
