    exactly add afolabi, Arslan, Kudryashov, kalenga, too that too

    Cruiserweight is possible the deepest division yet it means nothing in the usa, and americans still think its weak

    Holyfield has one good win at cruiserweight and that was against a guy that was 5'5 in fairness, resume wise i don't even know if he would be in the top 10 cruiserweights of all time

    His wins over Qawi, DeLeon and Occasio trump.anything any other fighter has done at that weight. How he did it removes all doubt to him being the greatest cruiser ever.

    One fight I'd like to see is Makabu vs. Kudryshov.

    Both are big punchers - who would be KOed?

    In a few years Erik skoglund will make all light heavys his bitches.

    BTW I'm not at all biased.

    Qawi was 5'5, 34 and had already loses at light heavyweight, in todays cruiserweight division he wouldn't even be top 20

    De Leon had 4 loses before he faught Holyfield, in cluding being sparked out in 2 rounds, he had only 1 world title fight win after the fight and that was a gainst a very poor fight, he could'nt even beat a shitty 15-5 Johnny neson:lol:

    Wlodarczyk,Huck,Hernandez,Cunningham have better resumes at cruiserweight that Holyfield

    I wonder if Adonis Stevenson is serious about fighting the winner of Kovalev-Hopkins?

    If the fight goes in any way as I expect it will, Adonis will be serious about never fighting the winner :!:

    Yes if Kovalev stops Hopkins, there's no chance whatsoever that Stevenson will fight him.

    Dirrell, whom you list as a lesser fighter, is a greater talent than ANYONE on that list, including Hops. Hopefully he gets his stuff together and proves it.

    She's trying to promote white EE's to suit her Aryan principles and beliefs. The only reason anyf ighter ofc color is put on the list is so she can claim she's not biased.

    There's a good matchup of undefeated up-and-coming light heavyweights in Monaco this Saturday:

    Ryno Liebenberg 16-0 vs. Eleider Alvarez 15-0

    [url]http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=696618[/url]


    Dirrell is rated #19 at 175 on BoxRec and hasn't fought a contender since 2010.

    It's not clear if he'll be fighting at 168 or 175. The Ring has him as #8 at super middleweight.

    But I'll edit the OP and add him to the first list. :good

    I would drop both Dirrell and Liebenberg (unless he surprises us this weekend, but I heavily favor Alvarez) into the "not-so-bad supporting cast". They don't really belong with the rest on that list. Maybe in terms of raw talent Dirrell once did but he simply hasn't been relevant in almost five years and has done nothing at 175lbs to show he belongs there.

    Otherwise, :good

    This weekend will give us a better idea of how good Liebenberg is.
