Top 10 Light Heavyweights

[Soundtraveler]

Actually, my favorite LT. Heavy is a fighter you probably will never hear about, his name is Carl "Kojack" Handy. He is a friend of mine who, when he is on, is just alot of fun to watch.

The man is tough, and when you get in the ring with him, he may just rise to the challenge and beat your butt, no matter what your record is. You gotta love a guy like that, I have been announcing his fights for years - he may never get to the top, but he sure has suprised some fighters who thought they were gonna walk all over him....

yea I don't agree with traver being the number one

Who is then?

Yeah I looked him up. He's not too bad. World rank of 71 and he's 19-4-2.

He is a really nice guy too, I wish he had done better in Germany, but hey, you go overseas and fight the #5 fighter in the world, and you're still standing at the final bell - not bad for a guy ranked #71!

Yeah especially when Ulrich's KO% is 70%, a full 10% higher than RJJ was at LHW.

Really?! Wow, and to think Carl took the fight on a one month notice, and really just wanted to see Germany!

Who is then?

id like to know as well. who other than tarver? i could see erdei but thats it

[Deejay]

Who the hell cares anymore really? The only fighter worth watching is pretty much done for, unless he makes a comeback...which for some reason I think he will. I hope he does, just to smack tarver around, then he can retire for good. I doubt he will though.

Being the linear champ isn't the same as the p4p king. RJJ was the recognized people's champ, but DM was the linear champ. Now Tarver is the recognized people's champ, but Erdei is the linear champ.

Well, why does no one hold the linear title since it was vacated in 1985? Who gets to say that Virgil Hill picks it up in 1996 after more than 10 years? Jones beat Hill quite handily as well, not sure if that was before or after Hill was considered linear. Besides, since the line was cut in 1985 (as it was many times before) then it's unfair to grant it to anyone else as "linear" after that point. Plus Jones beat Hill and Gonzales, Gonzales beat Michelchewski, not in the order listed on the website you showed but I still think if the line broke anywhere within Jones' reign as it did, he should have been where it restarted, all roads ended with Jones from 154 lbs to 175 lbs between 1993-2003.

Whoever compiled that linear page seems to hate RJJ, they left him out of every weight class he cleaned out... they even list James Toney as "vacating" the middleweight title in 1993 then it wasn't re-established until 2001 in Hopkins' name. What a joke. If memory serves me correctly, Roy Jones Jr masterfully outboxed the so-called unbeatable James Toney winning a 12 round unanimous decison to take the title. If that's "vacating" the title then I guess RJJ was just "vacating" the title when he got KTFO by Tarver & Johnson... heh.
