    :lol: What a newb list Michael Spinks knocks every one of the guys out:dead Except for Hopkins who might go the distance but Spinks still beats him.. And Bob Foster too.

    Michael Moorer would have creamed Joe Calzaghe and knocked him the f*ck out:dead

    Dwight Qawi beats all except maybe prime RJ.

    An elite atg but i pick a prime Spinks and maybe Foster over Moore in HTH matchups.

    Charles was probably the best from what i here and research but ive only seen clips of him at HW.

    Archie Moore... But one of the best guys to campaign at LTHVY was Bob Fitzimmons as an overall fighter.. And hardest puncher ever at the weight

    Calzaghe clearly has better wins at the weight than Jones

    What do you mean last best heavy? If you mean last 5 years it has to be Calzaghe. I picked Jones because he was unbeatable for a while and jumped to heavy and won which isn't easy. He was a steroid user though.
