3. David Haye
4. Carlos deleon
5. Vassiliy Jirov
6. James Toney
7. Johnny Nelson
8. Jean Marc Mormeck

There's no way Haye would have beaten Gomez at cruiserweight. Gomez was/is just far too good a boxer. I know I'm biased, but even so. Like I said the other day, it's great Haye has sparked an interest in the heavyweight division, but he's not an exceptional boxer. He's just very gifted in terms of speed and power. Gomez would have been a handful even for Holyfield.

lol wow, I was surprised to see this tread bumped.

Its understandable if you think Gomez would give haye a hard fight or even beat him but how could you say "no way haye would have beaten Gomez" as if Haye wasn't a beast at cruiserweight. I would pick Holyfield to beat Haye at cruiser but even there I would not use the words "no way would Haye beat Holyfield" because Haye would have given anyone a really tough fight and he could come out the victor against any cruiserweights on that list.
