    Qawi vs Holyfield, Mormeck vs Braithwaite, Mormeck vs Bell 1 and 2, Mormeck vs Haye, Haye vs Fragomeni, Adamek vs Cunningham are all great crusierweight fights 2.

          so is it the greatest cruiserweight fight ever? i certainly think so
          Hands down Kostya! I've watched this fight over and over and never get sick of it. The amount of postponements Jirov caused to try and put Toney off his game especially the way Toney battered Robinson in eliminator really made it worth the wait.

          Smoger didn't have to break them up once during the fight which is a great indicator. The amount of punches these two threw not even Lightwiehgts throw. One of the best fights ever and Toney's knockdown of Jirov in final seconds and Manny going crazy are the highlights of a superb Title fight.

              that was a great fight too! I've been watching every Holyfield fight the last few days on my time off.I don't even think that was his best fight(maybe at cw).toney/ jirov was my favorite.Cunningham/adamek was great as well.

                I like Toney-Jirov but lately my opinion on fighting has changed. I've started to realize that it is much easier to be a defensive fighter like Toney...he doesn't create his own offense, he just sits there and waits for a counter..it might be effective but I respect Jirov more for making the fight happen. Without Jirov there would be no fight really
