Who are the best Cruiserweights in history? Cunningham, Holyfield?

[Salardo]

I was thinking recently about Haye and Cunningham and that they were excellent cruiserweights so I thought about the ranking of the relatively "new" cruiserweight division: Who are the greatest Cruiserweights of all time and in what ranking?
I have a hard time ranking them, Holyfield has to be number 1, then there are Haye, Cunningham, Jirov and even Marco Huck.
Give your top 5 or top 10 Cruiserweights in this thread, guys.
I have seen 2 lists in which Johnny Nelson is in the top 3 and I strongly disagree. I have seen Nelson box and to be honest he was a very inactive, defensive, safety first fighter and those WBO title opponents were shady at times. No disrespect to Nelson, I like him as a person and think he was a good fighter but to me personally he won't make the top 10 no matter how many times he defended his title.
What is your list?

By the way even though Cunningham never unified the titles, I thought he was (is) a terrific fighter at Cruiserweight and I think he is one of the best Cruiserweights I have ever seen. Johnny Nelson may have had 12 or 13 defenses of his title, but to me Cunningham is at least one level above Nelson.

Adamek above Cunningham IMO.

He's not even the best CW right now, come on this guy is a joke, he has no skills and almost every fight he "won" in last 2-3 years is controversional...
In no particular order:

Holyfield
Mormeck
Haye
Adamek
Cunningham
