Who is the greatest Light heavyweight of all time

[rjj tszyu]

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

Also why I had a other category is I knew people would disagree with some of my choices so they can vote other and state who! Ezzard will be remembered as more of a heavyweight for the fact he was heavyweight champ and he would in this day and age have beaten Marciano with the terrible cut he gave him.

Well i might be the only one that thinks this but what about Billy Conn and then the great Gene Tunney but maybe there to old school anyhow. Micheal Spinks would of knocked Roy Jones Jr out and thats how i always felt but thats just me and buy the way good thread rep coming your way. By the way who did you vote for i take it Roy Jones Jr right or am i wrong.

Yep absolutely! I honestly think he was one of the greatest p4p fighters of all time in his prime and the greatest light heavy ever.

Again with Conn and Tunney I was only allowed 10 choices and they were all off the top of my head so sorry for the ones I missed!

Call me crazy but I don't think we've seen enough of Michael Moorer at this weight I feel he could have easily cleaned out the light heavies. a southpaw,tremendous boxing ability great speed,and flat out awesome punching power.

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 By no means the greatest but damn sure the most intense you might come across

I'l go with archie Moore

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!

At his prime, a focused RJJ outshines all.

Agree..and "crazy" just sums up Michael after reading Teddy Atlas's book---his biggest failing ,like so many in the game,was himself and self doubts.

I am going for Antonio Tarver who I felt was robbed in that 1st fight against RJJ in 2003,who sadly has gone past his peak and should have quit after the last rumble with Tarver.

The only thing to beat Charles was A L S over time I believe no Fighter did.

He was actually beaten 25 times and KOd 7 but I know what you mean most of them came towards the end and there was no shame in losing to Rocky and Jersey Joe, in fact I think he beat Joe twice and got beat back off him twice not to mention beating the legendary (but aged) Joe Louis.

I don't know a lot about his illness ALS but from what I can gather he was in a similar (but worse) state to Ali. I hate to see things like this happen to people like that. I mean they are such powerful men and then they get these horrible diseases and they turn into a shell of that one time phenomenon.

GENE TUNNEY shame he wasn't on the list
