      I think perhaps Holyfield as he was never really a very big heavyweight but still mixed it up with all the best. He was also undisputed at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight and actually started as a lightheavy.

      Mosley has not been undisputed at 135, 147 or 154 so I got to go with Holyfield (Who should now really be the only man to hold the Heavyweight crown, or a portion of it, 5 times).

        I never knew Holy started at LHW, that right? How many bouts did he have there?

              Holyfield holds the distinction of being the greatest cruiser of all time. Was a legit three-time heavy champ although Lennox took the final one from him. Still, as someone mentioned, he hung tough with the very best big men of his generation and put on many, many memorable performances. A true ATG and living legend.

                He didn't officially fight at LHW but he weighed only a couple of pounds over the limit early in his career. As an amateur he fought at the amateur light heavyweight limit (178 lbs).

                  Holyfield imo.

                  Mosley's best wins were DLH and Margarito, and a shot Fernando Vargas. I thought Mosley lost too DLH the second time.

                    If Mosley does fight Mayweather and wins. He is greater than Holyfield
