Your light heavyweight tournament

Spinks, Hopkins, Bob Foster, Roy Jones Jr, Beterbiev, Charles.

Moore vs. Qawi in the alternate.

Jones would be a major problem and I think he would win.

Harold Johnson

I don’t like leaving out Qawi or foster or Conn…so many great LHWs. Think Charles was the best of them

 

Well depends. Moore may be a better match up against Harold Johnson than Charles is. Depends who fights who.

 

Spinks
Galindez
Conn
Moore
Tunney
Charles

I would also consider to include a young Usyk to see what he has at LHW.
Moorer would be another option to see how he performs.

 

Ezzard, Tunney, Moore, Spinks, Foster, Conn.

Ezzard prevails IMO.

 

Honestly, it’s too deep a division historically. I would have preferred a World Cup style tourney with perhaps sixteen combatants.

 

six is too small a number IMO.

Moore, Spinks, Foster, Conn, RJJ and Beterbiev among the guys who held title.

Langford, Tunney, Bivins, Greb, Charles and Harold Johnson in group 2. (Note: i rank Charles #1 at 175)

Winner of first group fights winner of second group in the finals.

 

Would Charles really beat Greb, though? Hmmm.

 

Way too deep for 6.

I would put Ward, Calzaghe, Beterbiev, Archie Moore, Hopkins, Fitzsimmons. These are not the top 6 LHWs I picked them because theres the most mystery there and we'd learn the most having these 6 fight. I put Ward and Calzaghe because they are undefeated and didn't fight much and you want to see how good they really are. Beterbiev has the shortest career of any LHW champ and the 100% KO rate so throwing him. Fitzsimmons has HW power and fought in the stone age so you want to see how he'd do. And of course Moores and Hopkins reign was when they were old and you want to see them in their prime.

I don't get picking Charles as a mount rushmore ATG LHW tbh when he lost his chance at the LHW belt to Bivins so soundly. But for a tournament I guess it'd be interesting to see how he does.

I cant split 8 and would prefer10, adding Conn and Lewis.
