Best Of These Lhw?

Michael Moorer

Few people even mention Michael Moorer as a great light heavy but I saw him fight a few times, and from what I remember he was easily on the level with Michael Spinks. Moorer was a severely trained down man who must have worked very hard to keep his weight below 175 lbs.:

I suppose that he can't be listed among the all-time great light heavies because of his short tenure in the division, and because he never ran into any truly great fighters while he was 175 lbs. or less. We will never know just how good he was, but he beat everyone he faced fighting as a light heavy.

Ezzard Charles.

Spinks would have knocked langford's little ass out, but oh wait yogi will disagree cuz he;s convinced some guy that weighs 155 pounds would be the champ in modern days.

WTF Roy Jones is winning this poll!

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.

Michael Spinks beat Larry Holmes twice.

Is that not big?

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.

What the ****?

What the ****?

dude i was joking relax. I respect langford, i truly do. The guy had alot of heart for fighting bigger men, but i'm not sure if he belongs in top 5 at this weight. I can understand if you put him in an all tiem pound for pound ranking. But come on, you know spinks, foster and archie would knocked him out cold.

By the way, the larry holmes that spinks fought was much better than the version of dempsey and louis that the other two guys fought. Spink's win was a close decision, but then again its larry ****in holmes, no one walks over him, unless ur tyson. Hell he gave holyfiled a tough ass fight at the age of 43.
