Best cruiser of the last few years?

Holyfield beats all of the cruisers who've followed him, with only Gomez, Jirov, and Toney offering stiff resistance! Haye would be dangerous because of his power, but Holyfield had a great chin, and would have ko'd him by the fifth round.

Out of the new crop coming up, i like the look of Alexeev, he looks like the future of the division to me,:good

 

I agree. Alexeev is an exceptional talent.

 

I think he beats most of the guys rated in the top ten now, after three or four fights he beats them all.

 

Hopefuly he fights Enzo next, so we could properly apply the judgement.

 

Enzo can bang with both hands and will be dangerous, but I think Alexeev has too much class and will stop him. Good test for Alexeev at this stage though.

 

In recent years i would have to say Juan Carlos Gomez

 

1980s: Holyfield
1990s: no one
early 2000s: Jirov
recent: Haye

 

All bow down to Anaclet

I think the cruiser division has only been in existence for 25-30 years and Holyfield is the best ever.

Last decade?

1. Toney
2. Haye
3. Jirov
4. Gomez
5. Mormeck

 

Holyfield is clearly #1 all-time. After that, there are about 7 or 8 guys you can make a legitimate argument for being #2 all-time at CW, and Haye is in that mix - Gomez, Jirov, Toney, De Leon, Qawi, Haye, Mormeck, Nelson...

 

Last few years wouldn't be all-time though.

 

Past:
Jirov
Gomez
Holyfield

Alexeev is the future.
