    I always liked Moorer a brilliant light heavy.

    Round 1
    Qawi v Stevenson
    Kovalev v Barkley

    Spinks v Hopkins
    Moorer vMichelczewski

    Round 2
    Qawi v Kovalev
    Spinks v Moorer

    Finals
    Spinks v Qawi

    Quite a few guys on here are interchangeable, I would definitely have Spinks and Qawi on here no matter what however.

    It's a pick-em between Marciano and Spinks.
    I actually haven't seen anything of Moorer other than the KO loss to Foreman. I am ignorant of Moorer's LHW era. Basic boxrec indicates his opposition was mediocre.

    The TBE's are Michael Spinks, Rocky Marciano (he's the size of a modern light heavy on fight night), Jones Jr, Bob Foster and Ezzard Charles (and probably Moorer although I'm ignorant of him and his LHW era).

    If Kovalev gets past Ward and Beterbiev, he's one of TBE's IMO.

    Kanvalev isn't in the discussion. Light heavyweight is one of the deepest divisions ever all time...

    Moorer is arguably the biggest punching 175lb'er ever. He decimated the lhw ranks back in the late 80's. Had to move up to HW because the upper echelon @ lhw wanted nothing to do with him - and for good reason. His power @ 175 was insane...
