Best Cruiserweight of all time? (Includes olden days heavyweights below 200lbs)

[Scott9945]

i read smokes book about 20 years ago, maybe 15 years ago and i think he said like 190 back around when he was either champ or near champ course thats my memory so, there oughtta b a way of finding out tho

Just took a look. Joe was never under 197 in his career and over 200 in every fight that mattered.

thanx scott. but he does make the current 200lb limit tho if over 200 for the real fights well smoke not on cruiser list then. how bout mike spinks? carlos deleon? guillermo bernie mack jones?

I think u need to stop posting, it would of been fine if you dint include the brackets. So excluding the brackets, it would be holyfield

Jack Dempsey would destroy any cruiser in history. Holyfield would put up a big time fight, but I don't think ayone else who actually fought in the division division would survive the full 12, let alone 15. Marciano would be a helluva slugfest, but I don't think he'd make it. As for "grandfathered" cruiserweights, I think Ezzard Charles would be Dempsey's toughest comp. I'd pay a lot to see that.

I agree 100%!

I'm only counting actual cruiserweights not past heavyweights or whatever you're doing. Evander Holyfield, generic answer but why not

"olden days?

Anything older than 2000 is prehistoric apparently :rolleyes9:

[Anthony342]

Holyfield is the best, screw this nonsense about past heavyweights. That's like this crap MMA fans and historians try to pull calling Pat Miletich the first welterweight champion in the UFC, when he was a lightweight. In both cases, you have to go by what the weight classes actually were then. Cruiserweight doesn't have a long history and old time heavyweights or whatever you want to call them don't count.

Muhammad Ali weighed under 200 for the first dozen or so fights of his career, so he's the greatest cruiserweight of all time.
So I win this here contest!
