    An interesting fight I thought of between two of the most underrated light heavyweights of all time, who wins?

    Difficult to pick a winner given the limited footage of both, but Marshall was the greater fighter, imo.

    Without wishing to change the subject of the discussion in your thread, I think John Henry Lewis has a good case for the most underrated LHW of all time. In fights contested between 165lbs & 180lbs, he went around 50-0-3. He beat Maxie Rosenbloom x 2, Tiger Jack Fox, Al Gainer x 2, Tony Shucco x 2, Bob Olin x 3, Bob Goodwin, Jock Mcavoy, Len Harvey, Lou Scozza and Fred Lenhart. Yet I've seen plenty of top 10 all time LHW lists that exclude him.

    I agree that Lewis is up there as well, not to mention he did most of that with one eye.

    When do you think he lost the vision in his eye? I don't remember reading anything about that.
