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.

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or fight:
“That crazed girl improvising her music,
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling she knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
Her knee-cap broken.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
