Greatest Light-Heavyweights?

[Yogi]

This is off the top of my head, so don't be too hard on me if you disagree with the order. But this is what I've come up with for an all-time top 10 in this division ;

1. Ezzard Charles
2. Sam Langford
3. Archie Moore
4. Gene Tunney
5. Michael Spinks
6. Bob Foster
7. Tommy Loughran
8. Billy Conn
9. Roy Jones
10. Harry Greb

Honourable mentions to; Jack O'Brien, Maxie Rosenbloom, Harold Johnson, John Henry Lewis, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Jimmy Bivins, Bob Fitzsimmons, Kid McCoy and Jack Dillon.

Top choices yogi except for the RJJ one.
I would put Bob Fitzsimmons in his place.
Dont think he belongs with them greats.

i think roy jones belongs with greats but not the LH or H's i think he belongs with the greatest middle weight if you ask me

[Raekwon]

Tarver deserves a mention imo, okay he isnt up there with the likes of jones, ezzard, moore etc but i still gonna give him a mention

I'll just add Michael Spinks, if I may?

[Dude]

Sam wasn't really a Light-Heavy was he? In his prime he was more like Super Middle. I mean he only stood 5'6". He fought in every weight class though.

Very good list Yogi, although I'd put Rosenbloom, Johnson, Lewis, and probably Dillon ahead of Jones Jr, and rank Greb a middleweight instead of a Light HW. Probably something like this

1) Sam Langford (he was at so many weight classes (but in his prime did weigh around 170-180) so hard to put at light HW but if he is then I think he deserves to be # 1)
2) Ezzard Charles
3)Archie Moore
4) Gene Tunney
5) Michael Spinks
6) Tommy Loughran
7) Billy Conn
8) Bob Foster
9) Maxie Rosenbloom
10) John Henry Lewis
11) Harold Johnson
12) Jack Dillon
13) Roy Jones Jr
14) Matthew Sadd Muhammed
15) Tiger Jack Fox

-I don't rank Fitz as a light HW but I understand if he is
