    Please don't.

    First you guys deny Haye's competitiveness with Holyfield, now you want to credit Marciano with it?

    When did Marciano ever fight a guy 1/20th of Holyfield?
    There was a reason we deny Haye's competitiveness. He was not a great cruiserweight in the league of Evander. Haye lost, struggled and was knocked down at the weight.
    He breath takingly dispatched nearly all of his opponents in startlingly more savage fashion than Evander did! Very high quality opponents too I might add!

    This Haye DID take chances too to get the job done in this fashion.

    If Evander is the best CW ever, Haye is certainly number 2!
    Evander is the best cruiserweight of all time.

    So far I CAN agree with this!

    I wanted you to pick on the fact that I said all time.

    How could I possibly prove it? You are slipping.

    Not sure how the rock would land on Holyfeild that well to be honest with you. All the big guys Evander has beat and fought all had fucking huge punches in which he would just shake his head and comeback. Rock face would fall apart i feel and it would have to be stopped because of it.

    George Chuvalo would have given Holyfield a tough ride.

    Shit LOL. You got that by. I do agree so far he has been the best of that division to date though.

    To be fair though being the greatest cruiserweight of all time is like being the greatest tin whistle player of all time, nobody gives a shit.

    I've never had respect for the cruiserweights because it's a shit division: it's for people who are too scared to fight real heavyweights or too lazy to cut down to LHW. Pointless division. When you win the world title there they should give you a dildo instead of a belt, with a mallet for insertion. Fuck cruiserweight.

    Cruiserweights are essentially the heavyweights of yesteryear and the gap in weight between light heavy and average heavy was getting too wide so they needed this division.

    I agree.

    Additionally, the cruiserweights are weight limited and therefore in extremely good condition, they are simply more strongly built than the LHW's are. If they could cut down naturally to LHW, then that is where they would be fighting.

    No top level pro boxer WANTS to fight in a division higher than their natural weight regularly unless for calculated business reasons.

    I give a shit! The Chieftains are a great band, and Paddy Moloney is a bad ass on the tin whistle, their tunes wouldn't be the same without his skill on the instrument. Stick that in your pipe!
