Cruiserweight means nothing, when are you guys going to get that

Thompson wasn't a big deal. Haye fought him when he was like 56 years old or something, I'm exaggerating of course but he was well past his prime.
He beat Eubank, but Eubank was a middleweight moving up to cruiser at the end of his career after losing 3 fights to Collins and Calzaghe.
A well past his prime Eubank should have knocked Thompson out in the first fight and was winning in the second until stopped on a cut.
Thompson was a very average world champ, below even Enzo Maccerinelli.
Haye fought him in his 11th fight for fucks sake. Thompson was coming off a stunning KO of Sebastian Rothman. How many fighters can you name that fought a guy of Thompson's ilk so early in their career?
Even if you think Thompson was shit (
) he still had mixed and won at world-class level for cruiserweight. He was a DANGEROUS opponent for anyone!!!
Thompson would have destroyed Maccarinelli at any point (Enzo wouldn't be allowed near him though. That's the difference between fighters like Haye and protected ones).
