I always used to put Juan Carlos Gomez in there but maybe i was wrong to do so, i haven't really looked into doing a cruiserweight list for about three years,
Steve Cunningham should warrant a mention I think. Only two very controversial losses, and has already beaten every other current title holder.
DeLeon is a 5-time champ isn't he? Do you guys think Johnny Nelson had an extraordinary career? The first half was riddled with 12 losses then the 2nd half he won a title and defended it about 14 times.
But Qawi didn't really accomplish much at all as a cruiserweight aside from the competitive loss to a young Holyfield.
There's definitely Holyfield and then there's the rest. But I give DeLeon credit for sticking to the division and fighting whoever was around, unlike most others who use the division as a springboard to the heavyweights.
#1 is Holyfield If you want to include HWs who fought under 200Lbs. it might get interesting... Dempsey, Tunney, Marciano, Louis, Charles, Walcott, Patterson, etc.
