Greatest Light Heavyweight of all time ?

[Sugarj]

Roy Jones gets my vote for sheer talent...........but Charles, Moore, Foster certainly get note!

GOD MAtthew Saad Muhammad i can't believe people are forgetting him he's up there with some of the best.

Bob Foster. I saw him fight quite a bit, and he was a stone cold killer in the ring. Master boxer who was terrific at setting up KO's. His left hook is one of the all time best.

The thing about Foster was, I swear he stone cold hated his opponents. He had some huge, huge power.

I don't think it diminished his legacy, but what was he thinking moving up to heavyweight (the money of course)

He was a tall skinny killer.

I think you however have to give it to Archie Moore based on just how many victories he had over a huge time span.

jones or foster or maybe Archie

GOD MAtthew Saad Muhammad i can't believe people are forgetting him he's up there with some of the best.

Ahh.....Saad is one of the most exciting fighters ever. He was a very good light heavyweight, but I wouldn't put him up there among the greatest light-heavyweights ever like Foster, Charles, Moore, Spinks, etc...

His first fight with Marvin Johnson is one of my favorite fights ever.

Jones Jr., Spinks, Foster, Charles.. There were a few great ones. It's tough to pinpoint.

[J_CON]

Jones,foster,Moore,Tunney

[luke_ski]

Jones, Foster, Moore, Byrd

[End Sarcasm]

The list goes on. It's a shame seeing good LHWs move up and fail.

Are you kidding me??

Ezzard Charles was damn near unbeatable at LH, and against top fighters.

He beat the GREAT Archie Moore, the GREAT Charley Burley 2X, whom NOBODY--from Sugar Ray Robinson to Jake LaMotta--wanted to fight, Jimmy Bivins (another GREAT), Lloyd marshall (avenging an earlier KO Loss and yes, Marshall was another GREAT fighter).

The LH Career of RJJ doesn't even compare to these wins.
