James Toney would be another example but after testing positive for drugs a couple times so that disqualifies him.

Sure RJJ was never a cruiserweight and neither was Foster but had RJJ fought a dangerous heavyweight he would have suffered the same fate as Mr. Foster did. Michael Moorer also never was a cruiserweight champ so he doesn't count as well AND he beat the only cruiserweight champ to become heavyweight champ and then faded into oblivian after getting KTFO by an ancient George Foreman.
Yes but Lyle the Cruiserweight division is very young and has only had 3 undisputed champs and for the majority of it's lifetime it has had to compete with GOOD HW's like Holmes, Tyson, Holyfield (former CW), Bowe, Lewis and Vitali.

Yes Vitali is still going but for how long? He's 37 now and surely will be on the downward slope and Wlad just cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the above mentioned fighters!
