    The best Cruiser was Holyfield, who did turn pro at light heavy!~ who after "cleaning" out the cruiser weight divison moved up in weight and won four world titles and did so by fighting everybody who was out there to fight.

    Thats an ATG

    Maybe out of topic, but I've got some questions:

    Why did Mayweather have to use a catchweight to lure a smaller man to move up in weight to face him? And why did he not even care to make the weight then?

    Floyd claimed he never liked the idea of a catchweight anyways - that was after the fight was signed. If Floyd didn't like that catchweight of 144lbs in the first place, why didn't he then opt to face a real welterweight instead of a man who had to move up so much in weight?

    Someone answer me that please.

    He fought Prime Jirov at 190.

    Rahman Ruiz, Holyfield; peter they weight about 50 to 70 pounds more than the 160 limit where Toney started his career. Unllike Mayweather, Toney has serious balls. He wants to fight tthe 6 foot 8 Klits now for christ sake while Mayweather does not want to face the elite ww.

    Do you see Mayeather fighting at super middleweight or light heavyweight against a not Prime Tarver?
