    My brother asked me and I didn't really know. He said maybe Evander. I probably agree. Does Haye compare? Any others?

    Last few years ????? Evander wasnt fighting at cruiser since
    .... 1988, so thats hardly makes him best in last few years. :patsch

    Last few years (<10 years): Haye, then Mormeck, Bell, Jirov

    Holyfield was a cruiserweight in the 1980s, and I think he was most definitely the greatest cruiserweight in history. In recent years, my own opinion is that Haye has been the best. But Holyfield would've beaten him.

    Moorer was a Light Heavyweight prior to moving up due to weight-draining issues. A better Heavyweight is you ask me.

    Holy was absolutely the best CW. JCC had 9 defenses after winning the title.

    Holyfield was the best Cruiserweight ever seriously he could have stayed at that weight and never lost a single fight, but it would not have given us some of the best memories in the sport his move up to Heavyweight did, I mean Evander really needed to move up in weight to prove how great he really was, being that dominant at Cruiser weight people would not have given him the respect he has today.

    For me, it's a toss-up between Vassily Jirov and Juan Carlos Gomez.
