When The Ring magazine last rated the Greatest light-heavyweights of all time in September 2002 their list was:
1. Ezzard Charles
2. Archie Moore
3. Michael Spinks
4. Tommy Loughran
5. Bob Foster
6. Jimmy Bivins
7. Harold Johnson
8. Maxie Rosenbloom
9. Billy Conn
10. Matthew Saad Muhammad
11. Victor Galindez
12. Jack Dillon
13. Battling Levinsky
14. Joey Maxim
15. Dwight Muhammad Qawi
16. John Henry Johnson
17. Bob Fitzsimmons
18. Gene Tunney
19. Virgil Hill
20. Marvin Johnson
What are your guys thoughts on this?
The 1st thing that springs to mind is that Sam Langford must surely be on this list?
Also Gene Tunney seems far too low.
And Victor Galindez seems too high.
I'm also wondering how many people would put Roy Jones Jr. on their top 20 Light-heavyweight lists?
