Best light heavyweight turned heavyweight champ?

[ShamrockXpress]

Since the 80s we've had 3 former light heavyweight title holders move up and win a heavyweight title, Michael Spinks, Michael Moorer and Roy jones jr. Who would you favour h2h at light heavy and heavy? Who had the best light heavyweight resume and who had the best heavyweight?

[Earl-Hickey]

Spinks
Moorer
Jones

in that order

[ShamrockXpress]

Wot about over all accomplishments? Or is the same for everything? I agree in most but think jones light heavy resume ****s on Moorers, doesn't touch spinks though

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Jones at LH and Spinks at HW. Hard to say though.

I'd pick Spinks over Jones at both weights. Good competitive fight at LHW, possibly a blowout in his favour at heavyweight.
I'd comfortably pick Jones over Moorer at LHW and Moorer at HW, comfortably.

Spinks has the better LHW resume, Jones is second.

Moorer has the better HW resume, Spinks is second.

To be fair though, Moorer fought at heavyweight for much longer than the other two. He certainly is not on the level of the other two overall.

[ArtThouFurious?]

The correct answer is Ezzard Charles

[Jam Jars]

Bob Fitzsimmons

I agree though I do think Moorers win over a prime Holyfield is better than anything on either of the other twos resume

The correct answer is Ezzard Charles

Also, this.

Charles is a top 20 heavyweight, and probably the greatest at light-heavyweight.

Holyfield was not prime at all.

People were talking about him being washed up as early as 1993.

Spinks' win over Holmes is better.
