      No. Holyfield is easily the best cruiser. 2nd best? Maybe but that's kind of a who's the tallest midget argument, isn't it?

        I actually do put him at number 1, it’s the way he actually beat everyone that needs beating at cruiser that is impressive to me. He goes into the lions den each time. So Usyk, Holyfield then Haye.

          Usyk is number 1. It is not who he beat it is how he beat all fighters. Most of the time he would fight in his opponents countries this is impressive this guy is not scared of anyone. In his most recent interview he said he is willing to fight Joshua and Fury after he beats Chisora. Looking forward to it. I could easily see him beating Joshua. Don't know about Fury though..

                The only definitive, conclusive way to get an answer is to get the WBSS to do a Cruiserweight championship e-tournament. Why, they got Wrecking Winky Wright running rampart over the middleweight e-tournament and Mike Tyson winning a decision over M.Ali, how could the WBSS get this wrong?

                    Not only does Usyk has a greater cruiswerweight career than Holyfield, Usyk also has a better resume in Cruiserweight and was much more dominant in his reign along with the fact that he was clean while Holyfield tested positive for PEDS.

                      Usyk is close without a doubt.

                      some of Holyfields status is "unconsciously" borrowed from what he did at HW, even though we are only talking about CW, its difficult to cut the two apart fully for some of us.
