    Looking for fights at cruiserweight where one fighter distinguishes himself by absolutely dominating a quality opponent or otherwise showing an impressive array of talent and skills.

    From what I can remember, Haye over Mormeck was a one sided beat down.

    Not sure if this qualifies but Holyfield destroying Qawi with one punch in their rematch.

    Orlin Norris had some excellent performances at Cruiser.

    I am not a big James Toney guy, but Toney vs Jirov would make my list...unless you want the obligatory Holyfield vs Qawi rec

    Carl Thompson vs Eubank I & II are worth watching (but then again I have always been a Eubank fan)

    Magne Havna v Tyrone Booze.

    A phenomenal display of skill and athleticism.

    "From what I can remember", meaning I'll have to watch it again.

    I remember Imamu Mayfield being tagged "The next best Cruiser, best since Holyfield", after toying with Uriah Grant. But the dude fell in love with his press clippings and never really fulfilled his potential.

    Up by 1 point on 2 cards and down by 3 points on the other is not comfortably leading.

    I feel like the best is yet to come with this division.
    Is todays talent pool the best it's ever seen? I'd find it hard to say otherwise.
    I can't wait for the upcoming tournament with Usyk and Gassiev.
