    To be fair, there have not been that many noteworthy CWs and the division doesn't have much of a rich history. Wasn't it not in existence until the 70's? Anyway, I would have him behind Holyfield and DMQ at #3. Can't think of anyone else who looked more dominant and unified enough titles to rank above him, 1 loss doesn't erase what he did at CW.

      as for rating the CWs its really been a **** division thru the years, its good right now though. great acctually, and has been for the last couple of years including hayes reign.
      I HAVE watched it you chump!

        That's certainly debatable.We should create a thread on how many fights Benncollinsaad actually has watched,the admitted boxrec ranger has been exposed a countless number of times with his pants down without a shred of knowledge on any particular subject of which he himself decides to bring up.

        Boxing being the dying sport that it is could do with as many fans as possible,even if they are as slow and dim-witted as Benncollinsaad.

          Then you'd know Haye was winning until he gassed and still wanted to fight on, look at the Fragomeni fight and look at the nasty cut and was still going to war, in the Mock fight he was rocked hard and was still throwing bombs.

          The Mormeck fight where he was dropped and came back to score a one punch KO. His heart is proven its his unreliable chin thats the problem..

            Hey ****, I probably watched that fight before you so shut up.

              In all likelyhood,you've probably never watched a fight in it's entirety outside of the recent Manny Pacquiao fights.Don't worry,HBO 24/7 is coming up soon enough.

              The smilies are lovely and all but they don't require to be used at the end of each sentence

                When did he beat the likes of O'Neil Bell? Steve Cunningham? Marco Huck?

                I see one legitimate world class cruiserweight on his resume and he was done at that point in his career.
                There might be a case for Tomasz Adamek, but I doubt it...
                Bell would have a punchers chance, but would get schooled every time he loaded it.. he also struggled with Mormeck, where as, apart from the KD, Haye handled him well & starched him with a single shot..
                Cunningham has been beaten by Wlodarczyk who could only manage a thoroughly entertaining draw with Fragomeni who Haye had already stopped and beaten comfortably, & Huck, who was exposed by Cunningham, doesn't punch hard enough to command any respect in the division..

                Haye won the European as well as 3 world titles which I feel would be a bridge too far for the others, Adamek included... He also has far more natural pedigree than any of the fighters you have mentioned..

                  He's definitely top 10, probably top 5 but not a shot at number 1.
