Favorite Light-heavyweight of All Time?

Do you think Muhammad and Spinks were at the same level? I feel Spinks had far less flaws overall as a fighter.

 

Saad Muhammad all the way for me. Great guy, excellent fighter with a great story and a genuine contender for the most entertaining fighter caught on film.

 

In my lifetime it would be Dennis Andries who achieved a good deal with minimal boxing skills and Glen Johnson the road warrior.

From a historical point of wanting to know more about them are Bob Fitzsimmons, Paul Berlanbach, Lou Brouillard, Gus Lesnevich, Bob Olin and John Henry Lewis.

Favourite is Andries

 

I`ve only seen light heavy fights involving Hearns, Hill, Andries, Jones, Tarver, G.Johnson, Hopkins and Calzaghe. Out of those I liked Calzaghe the best and I think he would have given Spinks a better fight than Muhammad.

 

Archie Moore and Roy Jones.

 

Personally my favorites are Gene Tunney and Ezzard Charles. While I do enjoy a knockout artist, they were both good, humble boxers who had incredible accomplishments in the ring

 

Nothing humble about Tunney.

 

He said multiple times that Dempsey would've flattened him if he had not stayed away from him. I also like his training ethic, how he'd go up North and chop trees to condition his hands and wrists to better handle power punches

 

I feel moore would have KO`d Jones.

 

From my generation
Saad and Braxton
On film in no order
Moore
Galindez
Foster
Conteh
Tunney
Conn

 

Conteh for me buddy.

 

Would have been a great fight in their primes.

 

Bob Foster and Billy Conn. Two polar opposites, Conn being the masterful boxer, Foster the super hard punching ko artist.

Funny thing is i don't necessarily rank them in the top 3. Charles, Langford and Moore are my top 3. Spinks, Tunney, Conn and Foster are next.

Still, i would love to have the left hook of a Foster or be able to outbox Joe Louis for 12 rounds.
