Division Fight
Only one fighter of any renown has ever fought for a super-cruiserweight title, that coming when former middleweight and super middleweight world champion James Toney fought for the IBA super-cruiserweight title in 2001. Toney won the title by a second-round knockout over journeyman Saul Montana, but never defended it. Instead, he moved back down to the regular cruiserweight division, and won a world title there two years later.
Rather than fight in this division, many fighters listed in "super-cruiserweight" rankings work between cruiserweight and heavyweight, such as former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion David Haye, who must lose weight to meet limits of the cruiserweight division while his natural body weight makes him small for a modern heavyweight.
