  1. There have been 3 undisputed cruiserweight champions Evander Holyfield was the best however I think David Haye, the third, could have made for a good fight with him at cruiserweight. I'd still give the edge to Evander though. Haye has followed Holyfield's lead and moved into the heavyweight division to try and make his mark. The second undisputed champion O'Neil Bell I think Holyfield would have beaten soundly on points as Bell showed a lack of heart in a couple of fights. My opinion is that if he doesn't feel he can knock an opponent he gets frustrated as was the case against Tomasz Adamaek at light heavyweight where Bell simply quit after the 7th round. He deserves credit for beating Jean-Marc Mormeck to become undisputed champ but that was by knockout in the 10th and in the rematch he lost by unanimous decision. Unfotunately Mormeck wasn't crowned undisputed champ because Bell was stripped of the IBF title for pulling out of a fight with Steve Cunningham who currently is considered the top cruiserweight since Haye has moved up in weight. Haye beat Mormeck by KO by the way and currently only has one loss.


  2. O nell Bell on a good day would be a great fight against Evanderfield but in the end the harder you fight Evander the harder he fights  Holyfield by KO in the 8th round

  3. The best cruiserweight post evander is probably david haye and i don't think he has what it takes to survive against holyfield. Haye has a lot of power and hand speed but he is slow on his feet and tends to stand in one place while punching and i don't know if he could mix it up against someone like evander who was good both inside and outside, evander was like a bigger and better ezzard charles, he could do it all against almost all kinds of opponents and david haye is still developing as a fighter so i think that if they fought now evander would probably win.
