Greatest Cruiserweight of All Time: Round 1: Ultimo Dragon vs. James Gibson

Not fond of either by James Gibson.

Jamie Noble (how I know him best) no doubt, one of my favorite cruiserweights along with Chavo and Helms.

Yet Ultimo is up there with some of the most Successful wrestlers of All Time, Ultimo should win this tourny so I vote him.

I went with Ultimo Dragon.

Ultimo Dragon vs. Rey Mysterio
Ultimo Dragon v Shinjiro Otani
Ultimo Dragon vs. Dean Malenko

These are matches that cannot be beat. I don't think anyone has had a bigger influence on mainstream cruiserweight wrestling. He was so smooth and fluid. Whether it was Lucha, Puro, or American, he was always the most gifted wherever he went. It's a shame WWE did such a poor job with him. He's probably most well known for slipping at Wrestlemania.

James Gibson is an excellent wrestler, but only per today's standards. In the 90's he would have still been good, but nothing compared to Jushin Liger, Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, etc.

Ultimo

Dude I went with the Dragon, he could make anyone look good. He has such a technical prowless that he put over bigger names in WCW. In Japan the dude was untouchable, and in Mexico he picked up some Lucha Libre...quiet impressive.

And MTM can correct me on this if I'm wrong but I do believe he held something like 7 belts at once and defended them all....

Yeah that is true, It was awhiel ago though. But he held a shitload of Japanese titles

I believe it was ten. Here's a pic of him with all the belts:

I love Jamie Noble, but he really can't compare to Ultimo Dragon in my opinion.

48 hours are up. Ultimo Dragon takes it 7-3.

Lock please.
