    Unfortunately, there is no glory or money at CW. But, recently, there are at least 10 very good/excellent CW fighters. I predict Usyk will move up at HW, the rest will stay at CW. I am not sure for Gassiev, he has a brutal punch power.

    :lol: Yeah, I know, I was trying to be clever.

    But I did forget about Louis ... did he weigh in under the CW limit? :think

    There have been some good Holyfield / Marciano discussions in Classic. Holyfield is a beast at CW no doubt.

    you are correct louis weighed above 200lb in his title fights albeit i think he weighed about 200lb to 215 lb so a very light heavy by todays standards.

    There are/were two CW limits -190 and 200...I am not sure for Louis, but I suppose he had weighted under 200.

    I think that Fraizer was close to 200, too.......

    I'd say Haye as of right now, but it could be Usyk if he cleans out the division.

    If he keeps winning and knocking blokes out then it could be briedis potential by the ton.Hide was dangerous at cruiser could take any cruiser out when he was interested.

    Marciano wouldn't even have beaten Floyd Paterson.

    Holyfield, Paterson, Bob Foster, Michael Moorer, Marciano.
