My Top 10 Favorite Cruiserweight Boxers of All Time 🥊

Here are my top 10 favorite Cruiserweight boxers of all time! This division is arguably one of the historically weakest in boxing history (along with Minimumweight) as it's one of the newest and didn't receive much world wide recognition until the amazing WBSS tournament that was won by Oleksandr Usyk in 2018. Evander Holyfield dominated his era in the mid 1980's and Usyk dominated a very strong era in the 2010's so it was very difficult to separate them and they're basically interchangeable for me. Cruiserweight has had it's fair share of talented fighters over the years but more often than not, it's mainly viewed as a transitional weight class and many fighters move up to Heavyweight for bigger bouts and more money.

1. Evander Holyfield
2. Oleksandr Usyk
3. Mairis Briedis
4. Carlos De Leon
5. Dwight Muhammad Qawi
6. David Haye
7. Steve Cunningham
8. Carl Thompson
9. Jai Opetaia
10. Murat Gassiev

Honorable Mentions: Alfred Cole, O'Neil Bell and Tomasz Adamek
