    So Cunningham has the young Huck, Jones and Wlod wins, last two being very close and he ran away from a Jones rematch or Wlod rubbermatch, the Wlod instance being ****ing pathetic as was Ross. Who are all these top 5 wins? Braithwaite in 2009, not a chance.


    and Mormeck, Macca and Frag makes Haye your #2 :think

    1. Evander Holyfield
    2. Juan Carlos Gomez
    3. David Haye
    4. Vasiliy Jirov
    5. Jean Marc Mormeck

    Gomez and Jirov have a good case because of dominance. But Haye was simply fantastic at CW and was the best of the cruiserweight generation (the 2005-2010 generation was 100 times better than previous ones).

    Tough to say.

    I think David Haye (2007) & James Toney (2003) could have been 2nd & 3rd respectively if they had fought longer in the division.

    Yeah you summed up USS pretty well, thanks.
    he'd beaten Jones, Huck and Wlod, plus I had him winning the first jph fight.

    Same with Haye. What boosts Haye is his total unification of the division and that I'd favour him over everyone bar Holy.

    What's your top 10?
