Elite Light Heavyweights

Harold Johnson was good but not as good as the others you mentioned.

Don't know enough about Gibbons, but if they haven't already been mentioned Bivins and Qawi are wuality additions:good

 

Dunno about that. I'd rank him above Jones for instance, quite easily. I think he belongs in that class, actually.

 

I agree, excellant fighter. He was completly textbook, it makes almost odd viewing as you hardly ever see someone as technically correct as Johnson. A very skilled Boxer-Puncher who could counter well and had a dig in his right hand, watch the second Andrews fight.

 

****! ****! ****!


I meant Marvin:good Obviously, damn I hope people allow me that typoatsch

 

Johnson was excellent and I would rate him above as well

 

Cheers.:good

 

Does Virgil Hill warrant a mention?

I know his resume isn't the greatest and he lost to Hearns and Jones but he was a long reigning (I think he had a record number of defenses at Lt Heavy) champion,who posessed some fantastic skills and one of the best jabs you'd ever want to see.

He also went to Germany and partially unified against Henry Maske (which was no mean feat) and also had a late career revival when he won a Cruiserweight strap in dramatic fashion in Fabrice Tiozzo's backyard.

He tends to get overlooked a bit these days I reckon.

 

Henry Maske.

 

Virgil Hill is Ward's trainer right??

 

no that's a different Virgil.

 

where do you rate john henry lewis who would nowadays be a super middle ??

 

The look on Vincente Rondon's face was of pure terror as Foster was stalking him just prior to executing Rondon.

 

:goodrondon was terrified and with good reason

 

I totally agree with that. I wouldn´t count Jones to the elite at lhw. Like I wrote already earlier in this thread.

He also got beaten by Michaelchwski. But fighting Maske, Michaelchewski and Jones in a row is a bit of a risk.
Virgil Hill is not elite but I would rank him inside the top20. Just behind DM and Jones.

Maske is in the same mold as Tarver and (Glen) Johnson I think. As somebody mentioned him.

Not quite elite but not that far behind imo.
