Evander Holyfield was the greatest cruiserweight that's for sure, he fought for the title at his 11th or 12th fight, unified and all, runner up would be 4 times champ Carlos De Leon

So the consensus goes to Holyfield? I would have liked to see a SOLID james toney against him. Both prime.

That would be a fight and a half... but I reckon Evander Holyfield would win by Unanimous Decision in Twelve.

I think it goes easy to Holyfield he is simply the best.

But i think we are forgetting about Bob Foster imo he was one of the most dominating Cruis ever but when he moved up to Heavy his power seemed to dissapear.

Bob Foster

Your right- we are forgetting Foster.
That guy was a killer at light heavy- but what would he do at Cruiser??
Ali and Frazier did him in!
