Who is the greatest Light heavyweight of all time

[rjj tszyu]

Just wondered who people think is the greatest light heavyweight boxer of all time I thought of these off the top of my head so if you think its somone else vote other and tell us who you think!

[Markusdarkus]

Archie Moore.

[Jody Lane]

Archie Moore.

Ditto

[RozzySean]

The poll was incomplete without Conn and Tunney. Top Five LHW in no particular order, with second tier to round out the top 10, in no particular order.

Gene Tunney
Archie Moore
Roy Jones Jr.
Ezzard Charles
Bob Foster


Honorable Mention
Michael Spinks
Billy Conn
Michael Moorer
Maxie Rosenblum
Tommy Loughran

[RozzySean]

I suppose you could sub Maxie Rosenblum for Joey Maxim. Take your pick. Loughran has gotta be on the list.

[DaxxKahn]

Gotta go with Archie Moore without giving it a thought....I say Spinks is second...

[ssss]

Ezzard Charles he beat Archie Moore 5 times and Charles Burley twice

[BIG H]

Not necessarily in order, but these are my picks

Archie Moore
Billy Conn
Ezzard Charles
Roy Jones Jr
Michael Spinks
Jimmy Bivins
Bob Foster
Harold Johnson
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
Maxie Rosenbloom
Tiger Jack Fox

[CutMeMick]

None other then Bob Foster for me...

[Beanflicker]

Roy Jones Jr. All due respect to greats like Archie Moore and Bob Foster, who are two of my favorites, but I think Roy Jones whips any 175lber that ever lived.

People can talk shit about him now that he's washed up, or say that he had lousy compedition, but there was never anything like Roy before and there never will be again. Unbelievable fighter.

[LEGION]

Bob Foster

[Master]

Ezzard Charles would be my vote, Foster is there and so is Spinks and I think they may have been able to beat Roy Jones. Although he was not there long Micheal Moorer would be dangerous for all the great light heavies, no one hit harder.

The reason that I didn't include Ezzard Charles in this list is because I view him as more of an heavyweight than a light heavy and he never held the light heavy title!

Sorry i dont get that logic charles was past his prime when he moved up to heavyweight and so what if he didnt win a title at light heavyweight he still whooped archie moore 5 times and beat the most ducked and probably one of the most skilled light heavyweights of all time charles burley i know what your trying to say its easy to look at his record and say you consider him more of a heavyweight but trust me he was much better at light heavyweight

So what he was by far a better light heavyweight, and he beat Archie Moore twice, same with CHarley Burley 2x, Joey Maxim 3x, Bivin a few times, etc.

By the time he was a heavyweight he was a relatively washed up compared to his prime.
