    Charles and Langford have been mentioned, so I will throw a name in of a guy who has a claim to being the first LHVY Champ.
    Joe Choynsky.

    Ezzard charles is the obvious answer here. Langford is a good shout. Tunney and Greb as well perhaps

    How about good fighters who fought at LHW while just passing thru or toward the end of their careers like James Toney and Michael Nunn?
