Greatest Light Heavyweight of all time ?

Yeah a terrific era. Poor Marvin Johnson. He was a good fighter, but always seemed to be losing to the top guys in exciting or brutal fashion. Saad, Spinks, E. M. Muhammad. Eddie was a talented guy who was lazy, but still managed to give Spinks a competitive fight despite barely making weight. I was impressed with his performance against Marvin Johnson. He absolutely brutalized Johnson's ribs with left hooks. I was also surprised by how nonchalant he threw his right hand. He just shot it out there and was SSOOOOOOO open when he threw it. But Johnson wasn't able to take advantage.

Qawi was a favorite of mine. I think he's made a whole lot out of not too much physical gifts. He was like 5 foot 6, a light-heavyweight, without blazing speed or devastating power, and limited experience other than prison boxing. I loved watching his crouching defense. He had some entertaining performances at light-heavy, but one of my favorite moments was during his loss to Holyfield at CW. He made Holyfield miss like a dozen straight punches at one point. Just standing in front of him and slipping shot after shot.

Eddie Mustapha Muhammad was very underrated. When he defended his title against Spinks he had just fought an ill advised heavyweight fight against Renaldo Snipes, and lost an uncompetitive decision at over 200 lbs. He had to lose the weight quickly to defend against Spinks and would have had a big chance to win with better conditioning. He's done ok as a trainer though.

I liked Qawi to he was an exciting fighter his fight against Saad was great.
All time i might go for Ezzard but i haven't seen enough of his light heavyweight fights to say for sure.

Micheal Spinks without a second thought, although I think Roy would beat him one on one, Spinks has accomplished more at that weight.
