    Evander Holyfield and Dwight Quai Muhammed lit up the crusierweight division in the 1980's with memorable wars

    But apart from that..........

    The Crusierweight division is somewhat of a "******* child" division.

    Its unfashionable.

    Its the "

    division.

    Even Modern Great Roy Jones Jnr skipped the division and didnt bother trying for a title there.

    However it is unfair to ignore this division as over the years this division has created some great fighters.

    Here I have drawn up a voting list as of some of the best and most memorable crusierweights of modern times............since greats Evander Holyfield and Dwight Quai Muhammed ruled the division.

    Holyfield and Muhammed have not been included in this poll.

    Their place in history is assured.

    This is a more modern crop of fighters who hope to be written down in history alongside them two great fighters as Crusierweight Greats.

    Please vote for who you think was best at their

    I went for "Lights Outs"

    There was a bunch of Evanders cruiserweight fights on ESPN last week. He was one bad mutha at that weight.
    And I still can remember watching Qawi pulverizing Leon Spinks. I think old Reg Gutteridge described him as being "like an octopus with gloves on!"

    Question for Flint:

    If you are asking who the "greatest" out of that list is, why did you make the poll multiple-choice? (there can be only ONE greatest)

    See Cobbler's post (No.2); that might be a clue.

    What a horrible division the Cruiserweights have been historically.
