Re: How would 80's Evandor Holyfield do against the current Cruiserweights

He didn't reach his peak until heavyweight. However, there haven't been very many good cruiserweights especially right now. Evander would beat anyone out there, but I think some of these guys could stun him before getting steam rolled.
I kind of have to agree with you. The majority of his career has been at heavyweight and while he was a great cruiser, he wasnt there very long. He really only fought 2 great cruiserweights in DeLeon and Quai. And they werent necessarily at their best either. I have no doubt that if he stayed there longer he would have continued dominating but he moved up. I think guys like Mormeck as I mentioned above and even Bell could give him some problems though I think he would beat them.
