Why no mention of Evander Holifield? He was light heavyweight and cruiserweight champ.

no, Holy has never been LHW champion,,,, in fact, he has never fought at LHW as a pro...

nice read,,,

this article reminds us that moving up to HW nowadays with those bigger men waiting for you is hard if you're coming up from LHW (it was already a very tough task in the eras where you had those small HW champions)

the CW division is more needed than given credit for, and if we take a good look at the history, it is even tough for a CW to move up and be successful at HW, just imagine what it is for a LHW now...

one who did it is Moorer, he snatched the true HW title from Holy coming up straight from LHW, but unlike Spinks, he wasn't the man at LHW, he was just the titlist of the newly formed WBO (I wish he was able to unify before he moved up)

anyway, good luck to Tarver, he has his hands full
