Best CW fight: Holyfield-Qawi 1, Eubank-Thompson 1, Toney-Jirov, Adamek-Cunningham 1, Usyk-Briedis

I assume it was implied in the topic that these are best cruiserweight fights not involving Johnny Nelson, right?

 

It's been a much longer time since I saw it then Toney/Jirov but I remember Holy/Qawi as being the closest thing CW has to Thrilla in Manila.

 

There’s a reason none of these boys were nicknamed The Entertainer.

There can only be one.

 

Holy v Dwight
Toney v Jirov

 

I was in the military when Holyfield-Qawi was broadcast on ->TV <- one Saturday afternoon. The whole company, or whoever was there, was riveted.. instant classic.. kind of came out of nowhere.. just another Saturday afternoon fight. But clearly high level.

Maybe I'll watch it again, for the first time in years and years.
