    The peak was the Ali trophy for the division.

    Misread the ''ever'' as ''never'' and accidentally voted yes, but no, it had never been better. You've got the CW GOAT in that mix and some of the best fighters the division has ever seen. With all due respect to Holyfield, his CW era wasn't nearly as stacked. And it hasn't been the same since, the best guys on that list are currently retired, about to retire, or fighting at Heavyweight. Great, great time period.

    I think it was the peak in the history of this division for to be honest.

    And I will add too Firat Arslan and like someone said you forgot Glowacki, Mchunu, Gevor.
