I would say Holyfield vs Qawi but i haven't watched that many great Cruiserweight fights except O Neil Bell vs Mormeck Jirov vs Toney i think Jirov vs Toney can rival Holyfield vs Qawi for certain but i would just like to ask in your opinion what is best Cruiserweight fight of all time my knowledge on Cruiserweights isn't the best
I personally don't think either JMM-Bell fights were great per say. They were good and entertaining, the 1st one more then the 2nd...
I like Ocasio vs. Qawi, Holy vs. De Leon, Norris vs. Miller was just insane for me cause the ending is surprising.
On Thompson alone I could name a handfull of fights... Thompson vs. Rocchigiani 1, was another one with a crazy ending for me. Thompson vs. Rothman was just a back and forth fight trading knockdowns like STD's in North Hollywood. ;D
Carl Thompson vs ANYONE. Mr Fucking Excitement, was CT.
Glenn McCrory vs Siza Makathini. Anyone over 30 should remember this fight. It was amazing. McCrory became a hero that night.
Sammy Reeson vs Carlos De Leon. I watched it on ITV with a bacon sarnie. Can't remember if the fight was good but I do miss British bacon.
Thompson v Sellers for me.
Thompson-Sellers was great, as was Henry Tillman-Bert Cooper, but Holyfield-Qwai I is my pick.
Maccarinelli vs. Gunn was a classic. FOTY candidate.
Nelson-De Leon
you just took my top two.Quote:

Thats prob one of my favourite knockdowns of all time
Toney-Jirov is definitely the best cruiserweight fight I've ever seen.
It's really a shame that Toney couldn't keep the weight off. I would've loved to see him fight guys like Bell, Mormeck, and Haye at cruiserweight.
toney and jirov was the best
holyfield vs. de leon was 1 sided
no one ouln't beat holyfield at cruiserweight
I think you mean Holyfield vs Qawi 1 and that was brutal slugfest from start to finish each round had over 100 punches thrown and was very competitive.Quote:
