Where do you rank Holyfield, and what do you think his legacy is?
Do you consider him the best Cruiserweight of all time?

[IronDanHamza]

I consider him to be the greatest Crusierweight of all time.

A Top 10 ATG Heavyweight.

And an ATG in general. His resume is exceptional.

frankly I dont see how there is any competition in terms of him being the best Cruiserweight of all time. He didnt stay there long, but he completely took it over and had some excellent wins there.

#2 is up for debate though.

I think David Haye's resume is just as solid at CW as Holyfields'.

wins over Mormeck and Mac=wins over Qawix2, Tillman, Parkey, Ocasio, and DeLeon?

Im going to heavily disagree.

Huge Holyfield fan. I think he's clearly the best cruiserweight ever, beating even a past prime Qawi in your 14th or 15th fight is ridiculous.

At heavyweight, I'd say he's easily top 10 and make an argument he's top 5.

How come a win over Qawi, tillman, Parkey, ... is better than Haye's wins in cruiserweight. What are you basing your statement on?

Or is it just cause Holyfield is a fighter from the past that he automatically is greater than Haye?

Or Perhaps because Holyfield had multiple wins over future/former title holders and arugably the 2nd best Cruiserweight of all time, beat more ranked opponents there, and did it more dominantly than Haye?

Holyfield was undefeated going up to heavy & was UNDISPUTED CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION of all the belts.. he was NEVER knocked down going up to heavy & generally put that division on at least a small page of a map.. it's not because he was in the past.. he was better with fewer flaws & weaknesses.. better skills.. better chin....etc better personality & way more humble.. kapish!
