    Top 16 LHWs H2H

    10 are from my own top 10 ATG LHWs, these are in green. The other 6 are guys I feel are good enough talents to compete here even if I don't rate them as LHWs.
    Each contestant faces each other 3 times (at there best for each one but with the information that they acquired) for a total of 45 fights, some official results are used

    Roy is my second favorite fighter of all time, but I don't think he beats Spinks H2H.

    And Toney????? There's well over 10 LWH in history would beat Toney H2H.

    He doesn't, I got him losing twice, he just matched up better with others, I was very surprised.
    I've been on a Toney high recently tbh. He's flavour of the month so I pit him against these guys, keep in mind its the 168 version of him. I think he did alright for a guy I rate at MW
    Care to name more deserved guys? I'm not disagreeing but I think I got the most obvious ones (bar Saad and Qawi)

    Bob Fitzsimmons wasn't that awesome a lightheavy. He was old and toothless. Maske destroys him.

    I didn't use the one that won the title, I used the one that was slightly above MW, thus LHW.

    We don't have much tape with Fitz. In what we have, he stopped bigger, stronger and faster fighter with a bodyshot. It doesn't sound well for smaller opponents at all.

    I would have Moore higher and Foster lower, other than that nice list.

    Other than Johnson I'd back Toney tbh

    Good debatable list. I think Roy and Toney are too high and Spinks too low.

    I had that thought as well, once I can find the paper where I went through each trilogy I'll post it, I thought Spinks would do much better when I started it, and I was very surprised by Fitsimmons's success

    H2H, I'd put Kovalev and Hill in top 15. Also, Spinks should be a lot higher.
