Who Wins This Fantasy Light-Heavyweight Super Series?

Spinks - Moore
Foster - Canelo

Moore - Foster

Moore wins it.

Surprised myself there, didn't think I'd have him as the winner, or Jones as a first round victim.

Good thread, even though this has been a short post I really enjoyed visualising the fights.

BTW you didn't convey the enthusiasm as well as @Dodgy Syrup did, he had me a believer.

 

Just putting this out there but Roy Jones jrs hand speed is miles apart from any of the others on that list.

I’m not saying he beats everyone but in his prime he’s very difficult to defeat

ps I like how you guys are mugging off biters from the general but hmm….I dunno on this one

 

I'll go with the Riod Jones Jr

 

Should have been Roid

Sorry Georgie, won't happen again

 

Don't really appreciate the greatness until one sees the brackets. Absolutely awesome fights. Jones/Spinks? Come on, ridicilously good. Kov/Moore? Sledgehammer jab against crossed arm defense. This is what boxing in heaven will be for me. I might commit suicide to get better seats. LOL

 

Roy's distant cousin from Turkey. He was pretty good.

 

Far too many power house punchers for me to go with Jones Jnr. If Tarver can wipe him out, then any of these guys on this list could put RJJ into a coma!

I think the Kovalev that crushed Cleverly and then went on a rampage is a real danger man.

I'd pick Spinks, Beterbiev and Foster to go through at their respective peaks fairly comfortably but, Moore Vs Kovalev is a real pick em for me. I think the winner of this one wins through in the end and I would slightly edge it towards The Mongoose in an absolute barn burner.

 

You kidding me? Moore didn't get his shot at the title until he was 36. He is the longest reigning LW in history, 10 years. Do the math. He held a belt for nearly a decade never being in his prime. I won't put anyone on this list near a prime Moore.

 

Try reading numb nuts! I've picked Moore to win

 

I’d always pick Spinks to beat Moore and Jones

 

Bracket One: Spinks (and this is the one person I don't think Roy could beat at LHW on the list)
Spinks
Jones

Bracket Two: Foster (he'd run Ward over)
Ward
Foster

Bracket Three: Beterbiev (be serious)
Canelo
Beterbiev

Bracket Four: Moore (Archie would be too crafty, judging by what Ward did)
Moore
Kovalev

Semi; Spinks over Foster
Semi; Moore over Beterbiev

Final: Spinks over Moore

If Roy was in bracket 3 or 4 I think he would have been in the finals vs. Spinks.

 

I know. You give an edge to Moore. Pickem fight is what you said. This is not a pickem fight. If Kov couldn't handle a rough housing Ward. Moore makes him cry and beg for mercy. By the way, my nuts are not numb. I feel every caress your lady gives them! LOL

 

Can't go with Spinks over Moore. Too strong, tough and durable. Top 10 ATG based primarily from his work at LHW. Spinks was good, but not on the level of Moore. Can't leave out the fact that Moore ko'd more fighters than anyone in history. Moore wouldn't be frozen with fear if he faced Tyson. Not saying he'd win, but would do better than Spinks did.

 

@George Crowcroft

Agree with you on Kovalevs weaknesses, but you forgot to point out his extremely underrated defense. A prime Kovalev was much harder to hit than his reputation suggests.
