    Moore or Charles?

    Who do you regard as the greater light heavyweight?

    In the other corner, you have Moore, who became the champion and reigned for almost a decade.

    In one corner, you have Charles, the man who beat Moore three times, but never got his title shot.

    it's nearly a tossup for me, but i lean just a little bit towards moore. i can't say that's an unbiased opinion though. he's as likable as they come.

      Hard to top a guy who you are 0-3 against.

        Moore on longevity. Man was #2 LHW in my eyes for the 40s and 50s. But most uneducated people would rate him #1 in the 50s because he was the one with the title.

        Charles was #1 in the 40s, then that was it for him.
