[Sugar Adam Ali]

Pretty solid list,, I would have much of the same...

Not sure i would have virgil hill on it, but at 20 i guess its not a big deal

I might have Conn alittle higher

[Japanese Boxing]

No Langford or Fitzsimmons?

[StarshipTrooper]

No Langford or Fitzsimmons?

Fitzsimmons was pretty well past-it when he won the new Light-Heavyweight belt.

I think Dwight Braxton/Qwai might sneak in the top 20 as well.

[J-champ]

Not a bad list I.M.O.

[LacedUp]

Good list. Here's my Top 10;

1. Ezzard Charles
2.Archie Moore
3.Gene Tunney
4. Micheal Spinks
5. Harold Johnson
6. Billy Conn
7. Maxie Rosenbloom
8. Bob Foster
9. Tommy Loughran
10. Roy Jones Jr

I really can't see how Roy Jones jr can be higher than Harry Greb at LHW. Or a few of the others as well.

Greb's a great LHW but I rank him more as a MW. Other than a select few I don't tend to rank the same fighter in separate divisions.

Roy Jones could easily be outside of the Top 10, could also very easily be inside the Top 10 like I have him.

Had Michael Moorer stayed in this division how would he have ranked? He was in the same era as Virgll Hill, Charles Williams and Dennies Andries. My take as to why he quickly moved to Heavyweight was for the money and big fights but he had devastating power at 175 and could've made himself into a great Light Heavyweight.
