Time for a REAL Cruiserweight list

Fighters to be considered for example are Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford, Jim Corbett etc etc. providing they weighed past the minimum and for at least TEN bouts.

 

This list will need some fact checking that's for sure, it will be good exercise for your mind.

 

I like it starting where the LHW division ends

 

oh 200 sounds good because of all the super heavies. I think it silly that fighters like Corbett get ignored because there is no category for them. This way we have a range of 25 pounds to play with... this is tough 12 names to pick, lists can be in numerical order or like my lists, all lumped together in a kind of democratic equality.

 

Yes you have the division right but is a Top 12 list, you have eleven so that guy you were thinking of including you can put in now

 

one more rule, no one is to ridicule anybody's list on my thread, if you disagree with someone's list, simply say hey here is my dozen.

 

Here are some guys who qualify.
Gentleman Jim Corbett
Tom Sharkey
Evander Holyfield
Gus Ruhlin
Dwight Qawi
Joe Jeanette
Sam Langford
Tommy Burns
Jack Dempsey (The Manassa Mauler)
Jack Sharkey
Tommy Loughran
Ezzard Charles
Rocky Marciano
Floyd Patterson
Archie Moore
Jimmy Bivins
Jersey Joe Walcott
Gene Tunney

 

No because there is no such division as small heavyweights.. modern cruisers are gonna struggle to make the list at all.. Holyfield might. I think the list I made up makes for a fascinating question... WHO IS NUMBER ONE... Marciano may end up on top in head to head comp.... Corbett vs marciano.. Tunney Vs Tommy Burns.. Langford vs Charles. great match ups

 

Sure can as long as you can show he has at least ten wins at that weight and they should be against reasonable competition... My list is incomplete as a shortlist., when I looked I saw a vast majority he was over 200.... if he is there it really makes a tournament interesting.... I could hardly sleep last night as I was imagining Corbett vs Marciano... a great clash of styles and attributes... can Rocky nail him in 15 ? or does Corbett's speed and skills give him an easy points win ????
