the most under rated Light Heavyweight of all time ?

[StarshipTrooper]

77 fights 11 at LWH 58 lower 8 higher
not making this up
plus he was white and before desegregation and could have fought Jimmy Bivins........others why not ? and no quality wins

that's 2 whole years same as Michael Moorer 22 at LWH all ko'd. and he called out Virgil Hill & Charles Williams no takers for 2 years.
he and they know what would have happened to them.

You forgot to mention Conn didn't fight as a Middleweight past his third year as a pro. And what does segregation have to do with whether he was a Light-Heavy or not?

Oh, and Conn was the legitimate champion at Light-Heavy, Moorer was not: Moorer held the joke WBO belt, nothing more. Conn also beat Gus Lesnevich x 2, Melio Bettina x 2, Fred Apostoli x2, Teddy Yarosz, and Gus Dorazio: 5 guys who trump everyone on Moorer's Light-Heavy resume.

And BTW, learn to count: Conn had 35 fights over 160 8 of which were at Heavyweight.....that makes 27 fights at Light-Heavy not 11.

The sad thing is Madworld is probably utterly clueless as to who those guys were

Moorer falls in with most overrated. The most underrated is arguably John Henry Lewis.

Great call!

Moorer was getting worked by Leslie Stewart until finding a one punch KO on his fragile opponent. He was way too conservative and relied mainly on power to pull off wins against lesser opposition.

[madmadworld]

Leslie Stewart fragile opponent ?
should have been a baker not a boxer if that's true.

relied mainly on power to pull off wins against lesser opposition.
my point everybody at that time were "lesser opposition" Virgil Hill & Charles Williams included.
today we pick on fighters who avoid other boxers when they are called out call them a lesser fighter for it. Virgil Hill top 20 is what got me started.

bottom line he ko'd everybody at LHW

Can you rewrite this sentence so it actually makes grammatical sense? Then please explain what it has to do with the price of eggs :bringit9:

you can not even believe the news paper clippings before then on somethings.

And this relevant how exactly? :dunno9:

Conn was from Pittsburgh Bivins from Cleveland ????

And......and.....Joe Louis was from Detroit but it has no relevance as to whether Conn was a Light-Heavy or not. Muhammed Ali was from Louisville :geek9:

you just don't like Michael Moorer and that's ok

Ah! The nuthugger's lament! Point out the flimsyness of resume of one of their favs and watch the fan-boi scream "HATER!!!!!" :hahahaha9:
