Billy Conn was famed for being a Light Heavy.

[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.

[Taeth]

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!

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.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I know Roy dominated 175 for years but the only names really worth mentioning handed him a L in a big way.

[LBSCFC]

i was gonna go for Archie Moore but then remembered that Ezzard Charles beat him so my pick is Charles

[holmcall]

Ezzard Charls without a doubt. He beat everybodu else for God's Sakes

[Bill Mountjoy]

Tunney #1. Conn #2 (at least at the time of his first fight with Louis).

[porkypara]

I voted for Foster although I got to admit the light heavyweight division is not a division I have given much thought to.


Also I bet the reason Roy Jones has most votes is because he is the only boxer a lot of the voters have heared of.

[LEGION]

Bob Foster. I'm a hypocrite cause' I say I'm totally unbiased but Foster for me; he's my all time fave. Anyone says different I'm not listening. Sorry Adam GB I had to steal this from you I thought it was funny as f#ck....

[THE THIRD MAN]

Bob Foster, i cannot see Roy Jones jr withstanding the power of Foster.

[VictorCharlie]

Foster, Moore, Charles, RJJ and Spinks are all GREAT fighters. Im taking Roy on being an athletic freak.
