Best Of These Lhw?

By the way, my top 5 is:

1) Charles
2) Moore
3) Spinks
4) Foster
5) I'm not sure about 5. It's Moorer or Jones Jr.

I'm not gonna be ****** and put Langford in just because everyone else does.

I've not really read a lot about his exploits in Light Heavy to be honest; so it would be ignorant for me to put him in there.

you actually have ur own opinion, cong****. I'm glad you dont just listen to other people. Michael Spinks was a great fighter, there is a reason leonard and hearns won the belt after he left the division. Marvin Hagler also refused to fight him, he was feard by everyone. Spinks schooled saad muhammad in a sparring session back in 77, thats why saad kept holding off thier unification match.

I would add someone like Qawi and take Mason Dixon out of there.

Gene Tunney. Beat Dempsey. No one else on the list has a heavy weight scalp that big. And they all aspired to it. Only 1 defeat on his record to the great Harry Greb, which he reversed in their second bout. Incredibly smart, both in and out of the ring, Tunney would have been a tough fight for any LHW of any era.

Larry Holmes > Jack Dempsey

Plus we're talking about light heavyweights anyway, not what they did as heavyweights.

Thank you, spink's 2 wins over holmes are more impressive than roy's entire career.

Don't you mean 1 win?

I can argue he won both, larry holmes and michael spinks are two of my favourite legends along with pernell whitaker, so i can make a case for both actually. Either way, spinks would have kept roy's ass at 160.

Seriously, try and get as much footage of spinks at 175 as you can, the guy looks so great in every fight he has. His style would have given everyone problems, espceially slick boxers.

But he would be easy for a mauler, though.

bob foster doesnt have the skills and chin to beat him, he would beat foster. Remember spinks is a hard hitter, he can ko you with uppercuts, right hands, combos etc.

Bob Foster's not exactly a mauler. He's more like a boxer-puncher.

Well none of the light heavyweights would have beat tyson, so spinks has nothing to be ashamed of. I mean if harold johnson or jose torres fought liston when they were champ, would they win? no.
