Ok, Evander is the #1 definitely. But now I think Haye is #2. He has two great wins (Mormeck and Mac) that guys like Jirov, Gomez, Toney, or Adamek, don't have. Jirov and Gomez had longer reings, but Haye has better wins and was unstoppable at CW. I think I'm moving Haye to #2. Just because of him unifying the title and beating Mormeck/Macarinelli. Cunningham is also entering my Top10. And Marco Huck is a young fighter that could be great in the future.
That's a quality list. Not much their to argue with at all. I do think you could find a place for Steve Cunningham in your top 10 though, wins over all the current belt holders is hard to top.
he was 19-7 at cruiserweight and with loses against arthur williams, mike hunter robert daniels, and ossie ocasio. his record in world title fights is 2-3 i think you'll have a hard time justifying his place in a top ten
Not me, I'd look like Butterbean ! I'm more of a super bantamweight and I retired before my first bout just to make sure I never have to face Barrera and Morales ! :rofl
Cruiser is typically a pass thru division where guys get a belt and just pursue a career at heavy in the 2000s we saw a real chance to unify and stay there its a great division great fights good fighters like old time in shape hwts but nobody stays there holyfield is number 1 obviously guys in the unification era like bell and mormeck deserve their respect gomez, nelson and jirov had long sucessful title reigns cunningham adamek and haye became the number 1s of their time too bad most vacate after a short stay
dont call a cruiser or SMW list "all time" these are new divisions in boxing relativley speaking and being all time in them is not the same
David Haye doesn't have a resume as good as Adamek's, or even Thompson's. He ducked too many top cruiserweights.
