    There’s literally a thread for you to ask this type of question in and you’re directed to it in the OP.

    Please don’t clutter voting threads with technical questions.

    Where's Floyd Patterson?

    Floyd was the #1 rated Light Heavyweight contender before he moved up. He didn't fight after 1999.

    Hi Buddy.
    No sarcasm intended, but did you forget Foster ?
    Seems strange not having him in anybody's top 6 .
    stay safe amigo.

    I didn't have Foster in my list either, as I said earlier I love Foster as a fighter. But his title reign was quite underwhelming, theres not many big names that stand out. Compare that to some of the other Light Heavyweights who beat handful of ATG's and hall of famers.

    Foster is also against a bunch of guys who had good MW/HW careers.

    And of course, we're considering entire careers when voting.
