top three cruiserweights of all time

I don't see how Haye can get a spot and Adamek doesn't. Adamek's time at CW was short, but he made just as big of an impact as Haye. Considering that he did so in a shorter span of time, he should get more credit.

 

Maybe people feel Haye's resumé is a bit better at the weight. Cunningham is probably the best win either of them have at CW, but maybe people feel that Haye's wins over Mormeck, Maccarinelli and Fragomeni trump that of Cunningham, a relatively unproven Banks and a way past his best Bell. Plus an extended resumé. It depends on criteria, maybe they are ranking H2H and feel Haye would beat Adamek at CW.

 

eddie mustafa muhammad won ONLY a light heavyweight title and defended it a few times

thats IT

thats all he did!

 

Problem with Adamek is that he wasnt long in CW, because he realized that there is no fame and no money.

Haye has simple road to unify, Adamek quite different, because to fight other belt holders then Cunningham he must stay in CW many years

 

With Haye and Adamek at CW it is very close. And H2H its pretty close too. I want to see that fight at HW :thumbsup

 

no

you were being serious and then when me and tommy owned your ass you decided to check boxrec


and now you know you've made a fool out of yourself you're trying to save your ass by playing the 'i was joking' card.:deal

im saving this for future references.

 

Holyfield, Qawi, and then Toney.

 

Toney?

Take the Jirov win out and the rest are a collection of bus drivers and school teachers.

I missed Gomez off my list, and Adamek actually come to think of it.

 

You don't even give Jirov a mention?

James Toney beats Haye and Adamek at Cruiser.

Holy
Toney
Jirov

 

Can't say I rate Jirov too highly, and I haven't rated Toney too highly since he was at 168. Toney-Jirov was a great war, but I think Adamek and Haye both beat Jirov head to head, and they both have much better resumes than Jirov. Jirov fought at cruiserweight in a very weak era where two of the major belts didn't even recognize the weight class, so everyone who was halfway decent moved up and fought at heavyweight.

 

Steve Cunningham is no 7,Adamek could be no6 ,Jean Marc Mormeck and Jirov are without a doubt in the top 5,Hayes at no 3.Qwai at 2 and Holyfield no 1

 

I was taking the **** when I said that about Ali. My point is just because Adamek beat him doesnt mean you rank him higher, Cunningham is a career CW with a better resume, he's beaten the likes of Wlodarczyk, Huck, Jones and Braithwaite with all but the Braithwaite fight away from home whereas Adamek beat Cunningham, Banks and Bell.
