By the way who did you vote for i take it Roy Jones Jr right or am i wrong.

Dont know about Spinks and Jones, interesting. Both could fight from angles others cant and lower and coiled positions too, both counter punch off on the others reactions. Usually different styles make for better fights. I think Roy could still hit on the move better while in transition and maybe Michael could avoid some and counter harder in some head on clashes timing both moveing forwards. :-\, I think Roy would of out drawn him.:fighting0040mf3: < Thats Michael in the black shorts.

The RJJ in the 2nd Griffen fight would have beaten any LHW in history IMO! That was a focused dangerous RJJ with a point 2 prove,shame he didn't have that killer instinct 4 all his fights!

Micheal Spinks was very weird style and i think he had the power advantage and reach over Roy just think it be close until Spinks connected and i think that it would send Roy to the canvas.

and where is tarver in that list :mad:







;D

He was calling everyone out then.....after so long Ive changed my mind on P.C. Williams vs. Moorer,I think Moorer would have gotten to him even though Moorer was still pretty green But I do think that Virgil Hill (I could not stand him at the time) would have given Michael many many problems and could eek it out.

Also......Can my Man Saad get some love ;D;D By no means the greatest but damn sure the most intense you might come across :puncher:

I'l go with archie Moore

Gotta agree here. Roys focus and determination to get Griffin out of there was immense any light heavy in history would have been wiped out that night!!!!!

Roy Jones Jr.

Clinton Woods.

I was hoping Tarver was the greatest thing to hit 175 in decades.

Yeah it is too bad he never stuck around in the division for a while longer. At lt heavy, he would have been a tough one to topple.

I'm not sure his body would have allowed him to stay at light heavy, I mean he must have been draining himself something chronic to make 175 in the end!
