    Why Haye or Enzo are on there is beyond me.

    Holyfield, Gomez and Jirov imo.

    Gomez by a bit over tony mostly because of more fights at the weight.

    I agree with the order as well. Gomez was a phenomenal fighter, him vs. Holyfield is a superb historical matchup. Jirov was great as well.

    Gomez was awesome at cruiser, nobody wanted to go near him.

    Jim Toney never really did much as a champion at 190, but overall, he is the greatest fighter from the list....... Virgil Hill is greatly underrated...... :yep

    of that crop, i liked toney. when he beat jirov it was classic toney, fast hands, upperbody movement, and crisp counterpunching vs. a solid dangerous cruiser.

    Gomez, no questions asked he was in the division for a while and was without a doubt the best while he was there and the best since Holyfield. While he was champ and only held the WBC belt, noone had a doubt that he was the real champ at CW.

    Fabrice Tiozzo gets no credit but had the belt 9 times and 5 years at CW and Light heavyweight.

    Future Hall of Famer Dariusz Michalczewski also won/defended his WBO light heavyweight title 23 times and was a two weight division champion, winning titles as both a Light Heavyweight, and as a Cruiserweight.
