    How about a game of who should trade places

    1 Evander Holyfield
    2 Carlos De Leon
    3 Johnny Nelson
    4 David Haye
    5 Anaclet Wamba
    6 Juan Carlos Gomez
    7 O’Neil Bell
    8 Guillermo Jones
    9 Al Cole
    10 James Toney
    11 Jean Marc Mormeck
    12 Vassiliy Jirov
    13 Virgil Hill
    14 Jeff Lampkin
    15 Dwight Qawi
    16 Orlin Norris
    17 Magne Havnaa
    18 Nate Miller
    19 Ralf Rocchigiani
    20 Carl Thompson

    Which 2 guys would you swap to make this a better list if you could only swap 2 fighters - the reason 'why' would be nice to know also

    toney for as great as he was against jirov shouldn't be on this list because of the fact that you shouldn't be in an all time great at a weight you only spent a few fights at

    Not a good list but the one that stands out is Qawi.. He didnt have the longest reign at CW... But bottom line is hed **** most of the guys you have over him on that list... In fact he probably beats all of them outsided of Evander.... HTH id pick him over the other best of those guys... Think he outhustles Toney and shows him who the real badass is.. Even though Haye has about 8 inches on him, Haye was a little green and i can seee Qawi takng him into deep waters and drowning him... Style wise Nelson and Maybe Gomez are the only other ones that might beat him. Him an NOrrris would have been close too.. Also dont beleive everything boing records tell you, he was screwed against Ocasio in what was considered robbery of the year, he also kod a solid champions in Leroy Murphy,Piet Crous too . ANd his first fight with the best CW of all time actually could have gone either way.... He was old in the loss to Daniels(title) and even that one could have gone either way. .. HTH id have him between 2 and 4.... .. But ill think id switch him with Bell he never impressed me and you have him to high.. Norris to low.. And throw Havanaa and ROchigiani out Bobby Czyz kicks both their asses.,... Virgil HILL?? He wasnt all that at CW and Qawi would have beat his ass.

    I thing that Fabrice Tiozzo should be included on the list... except for his loss to Virgil Hill.. he was a solid crusierweight
