    What if they all fought at cruiser?
    I posted this in response to the Cruiserweight underrated thread.
    We could have (proper sized) Haye vs (in shape) Toney:hey
    Byrd Vs (trimmed down heavy version) Jones:thumbsup
    Gomez vs Jirov:nut
    Holyfield vs Hopkins (ha ha, kidding):rasta

    There are atleast 10-20 HW contenders that belong at crusierweight ...

    An 'in shape' Toney wouldn't be anywhere near cruiserweight...

    lol, he did look in really good shape against Jirov though and that version of Toney might smack Haye around. Good point though.

    I kind of meant right now the interesting matches that could be made and would probably result in better fights at cruiser.
    For example Gomez vs Jirov could take place at heavy but would probably be more entertaining at cruiser...... unless Jirov is shot which I'm not sure of.

    I have to think that a trimmed down, in-shape Eddie Chambers would be in much better condition at cruiser. He'd be a much more legit contender there than at HW.

    I didnt think Jirov would ever be described as a powder puncher. He's a strong dude with murderous body shots.
    Hayes power vs Toneys granite chin and radar like head movement makes for an interesting matchup to me. Toney just looks like crap when he's fat and lethargic (most of the time).

    Jeremy Williams would have had a nice career at cruiser. Definitely the prototype for the fighter who belongs/belonged in that weight class. The money is at heavweight.
