    Do you think it's fair to take them in a P4P sense!?!?

    In this day of extreme Super Heavyweights....would you consider it fair (for example) to rank 215lb David Haye above 315lb Valuev, even if you thought that Valuev would win head to head???

    100lb difference is no small matter!!!

    nobody in those divisions comes to fights overweight. the cruiserweight division is definitely not worse. going by talent, hw division is absolutely the worst.
