    :good

    Just a quick question, why is Archie Moore rated the best LHW ever when Charles beat him 3 times?

    Can someone please tell me how you can justify having Archie Moore ahead of Ezzard Charles, when considering the fact that Charles beat him 3 times out of 3 and one of them being by way of Knockout ?

    If its the greatest LB for Lb in the Heavyweight division then my man Marciano takes it. If not

    Heavy-Joe Louis
    Light-H-I would say Charles but never Champ so Moore
    Super-Middle-Calzage
    M-Greb
    Super-Welter - SRR- was champ at W-M-and usually fought in the middle somwhere
    W-Basilio
    Super-Light-PBF-Pryor
    Duran/Benny Leonard-too close
    S-Feather-Arguello
    Feather-PEP
    Jofre
    Wilde

    So you just gonna ignore the fact that Charles schooled him 3 times, because of a title

    Charles for me fought his best as a heavyweight even though he was great at 175lbs he never won a title and pursued the Heavy's, I would have to rate Sam Langford somewhere also possibly 168 but he never won a title there

    Charles is also high on my LB for LB but I rate him as a heavy and top 15

    but then again this post said best at weight not best Champ so you may have a point
