the most under rated Light Heavyweight of all time ?

[RFPROBOX]

EMM had a wicked left hook to the body. His big mistake was moving up to heavyweight (unsuccessfully) and then defending against Spinks way too soon afterwards. He had to srop 26 lbs in just two months.

he was also very lazy and not very smart. he let 3rd rate fightrers like James scott beat him.

[TBear]

The thing is with Moorer is there was three other champions at the time. It is not determined if he was even the best at his weight at the time. He did not fight especially good light heavys when he was wbo champ either.

[Boxing Bob]

He is given some credit, but for his skills and dominance, I think Bob Foster is verrrrry underrated as a light heavy

, Nothing better than calling someone out for saying 'stupider' when they are aiming to call you stupid.
