yeah lol But basically every top cruiserweight list will have Holyfield at the top by a wide margin.  He was just so dominant for that span of time.

Technically Rocky Marciano wasa Cruiserweight by today's weights and he'd mop the floor with that list.

Can't argue that logic either... lol... that's why I have no vote.

You can never transport a player into todays standards tho lol. Athletes always get bigger, stronger, faster, etc. You cant take a Center in the NBA from 40 yrs ago that was only 6'7" and say....technically today he would be a small forward. So he's one of the greatest rebounding Small Forwards ever lol

That logic doesn't ork here. A 6'7 centre is a centre ad plays as a centre. Playing SF requires a very different skill set. Rocky Marciano was knocking 200+ guys the fuck out. Now all he'd have tro do is knock out guys under 200 lbs, and that would be easier. Fucking guy went 49 and 0 in the hardest division in boxing with 43 KOs, and now you want him to fight in one of the easiest divisions.

That's like asking Ty Cobb to hit 400 in a softball league. He hit 400 three times overhand. No problemo.
