    I think this was mine. It's the one I have under my (unfinished) top 50 LHW file.

    #10. Harold Johnson
    #9. Bob Foster
    #8. Jimmy Bivins
    #7. John Henry Lewis
    #6. Tommy Loughran
    #5. Gene Tunney
    #4. Michael Spinks
    #3. Harry Greb
    #2. Archie Moore
    #1. Ezzard Charles

    LHW is extremely deep, man. There's just not enough room in a top ten for everyone who belongs in one. H2H match ups interest me more, though.

    I would keep Tunney, Charles and Fitzsimmons out because they had won heavyweight championships.

    Would you also omit Spinks, Jones, Moorer &c? Tons of LHW fighters won the HW title.

    Yes I would. Although none of them would be considered great heavyweight champions.

    Tunney, Charles and Fitzsimmons are all considered great heavyweights.

    I hope the number 1 position has changed now.
