    Folks,

    I realize that the Cruiserweight division has never been very popular and is often over-looked since its coming into play back in 1979 but, in any case, the division has produced some damn good / great fights over the last 32 years... No lie....
    :deal:thumbsup
    To my liking and voting, I rank: "Holy-Qawi 1" as my top choice with "Toney-Jirov" right next to it... Forgive me if I have spaced off another Cruiserweight title fight, but I don't normally follow that division.... Yes, I too am guilty of ignoring the 190-200 pounders...
    :bbb:good
    Anyone have anything to add or suggest fight wise here???:huh

    MR.BILL:hat

    O'Neil Bell vs Jean Marc Mormeck 1 and 2 were great, as was Adamek vs Cunningham

    I thought Mormeck from France was gonna prove great, but either his chin or stamina let him falter...

    I was at Holy-Qawi I sitting in about the fifth or sixth row. Best fight I've ever seen live without question.

    Lee Roy Murphy and Chrisanda Mutti is a forgotten classic.

    I recall Murphy was a Chicago cop who came back after losing his belt to face Qawi and sounded like a loser during the pre-fight interview.... Even Dr. Ferdie Pacheco called him a loser....

    Marvin Camel - Mate Parlov I was far and away the best.

    Regardless if it was a beating, but I loved watching Qawi beat the **** outta a drained 190 lb. Leon Stinks on ABC back in '86..... I got it on tape......

    Both Carl Thompson/Chris Eubank fights were good, first one especially.
