Top 10 Cruiserweights of All-Time

[Silencers]

didnt archie moore fight at cruiser? he should be top ten if he did. Like everyone else has said i think evander is the only big time celeb to come out of the division and thats only cos he went heavyweight and did good. Haye will be top 3 of all time by 11pm tonight

Moore fought at light heavyweight and heavyweight, cruiserweight wasn't created yet.

Hmmm, is everyone so sure that Holyfield was the best ever there? I guess because of his success at heavy as well, that made him more successful but I think there may have been better fighters at cruiserweight. Well, maybe not better, but fighters that were there longer, had more defenses and a longer run.

Like Carlos De Leon!

Yes, I am sure. Especially that you mention De Leon who Holyfield beat. And he also beat another consensus top 5 cruiser twice in Qawi. He held the WBC, WBA, IBF titles and he finished at 17-0(14 ko's). He is an EASY pick for #1.

You just wonder what Holyfield would have done if he stayed at that weight. There's just never the talent pool there for long enough.

ESPN showed Holy against Qawi late last night; I was in and out of sleep but I'm pretty sure I wasn't just dreaming that

my guess is, holyfield could've gone 100-0 and beaten all top 25 fighters several times over if he had stayed at that weight. that is if he fought 100 times before the age of 37.

No, I knew they were going to show that fight at some point soon. I think it was the rematch though. Not sure, I didn't watch it, but I think they might be reshowing it tomorow? You might want to check on it, whoever asked.

Holyfield is first by a mile. I'd probably put Juan Carlos Gomez second. He was obscure, but he dominated his opposition.

Gomez was a beast.. I'm glad you mentioned him.

[OldSkool]

Holyfield and De Leon are definately the top two. the rest i would choose for ositions 2-10 have already be mentioned although i would say Carl Thompsn would make top ten and Marvin Camel deserves a mention although im not sure he makes top ten (many thought he beat De Leon or at least deserved a draw first time round)

Gomez was a beast.. I'm glad you mentioned him.

Not many people know him even now, as I'm sure some of you will have seen when I mention him. He's in a position now where he's on the threshold of better things, it's just a matter of waiting.

Johnny Nelson’s top 5 just for what he achieved, Carl Thompson would be in my top 1o to.

Can't fault that statement.
