    he beat other top 10 ranked cruisers such as fragomeni and abdoul

    also he is one of the few guys to unify the division.

    ****ing idiot. :rofl

    I suggest you look at up his record some time.

    I think you'll find he never won a title at cruiserweight, and only had a handful of fights at the weight. A few at the tail end of his career, and one's where he wasn't making the light-heavyweight limit because there was no title on the line. In which he was fighting light-heavies like Jerry Celestine, so it's hard to recognise them as cruiserweight fights.

    Haye
    Adamek

    Qawi didn't really do his damage at cruiserweight. His best win there was Leon Spinks. After those three, IMO, there's a big clump of guys like Gomez, De Leon, Qawi, Toney, Nelson, Mormeck, Bell, etc.

    LOL you and Relentless are getting really pissed at this guy and justifiably so, but he's probably just confusing Eddy Mustafa Muhammad with Dwight Muhammad Qawi. **** happens, but he should have realised his mistake by now instead of just keeping at it and not checking his facts.

    Leons Spinks beat old, way post prime Ali. Adamek beat the best (probably) version of Cunningham. See the difference?

    What did Qawi EVER do at cruiserweight that people are ranking him there at #2?

    Wamba deserves a mention. The division really is thread-thin though.
