You could "imagine" anything you want happening in a rematch. That's what it means to be imaginary. Besides, Tunney was considered a much improved fighter a year or two later as well.

Yes he did, he beat Carpentier and Gibbons.

Why does fighting black men matter? How many did Loughran fight?

10. Victor Galindez

 

Y'know something Teeto..I was on the verge of puting Galindez into my list...and I may still. I was always a fan of his, and I know that's not the best reason to put him in a top 10 list...but you've gotten me to thinking about it.

 

Yeah i just like him, maybe it's not right to have him in there, i mean the division is so deep, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Jack Dillon etc etc would want to be included i'm sure.

Glad you appreciate Galindez though, i thought he was a pretty unique fighter.

 

Sorry Saad, but Galindez edges you out for that #10 spot. Saad Muhammad was an entertaining, thriller kind of guy, but Victor was a bit better, actually. So it goes like this:
1. Tunney
2. Charles
3. Moore
4. Loughran
5. Conn
6. Harold Johnson
7. Foster
8. Spinks
9. Langford
10. Victor Galindez

 

:happy

Serioulsy though, i do agree that Galindez edges Saad.

 

I don't ... a prime Saad was a monster and he would have been hell for most ... unfortunately his prime was very short ...

I say Galindez was behind Saad, Johnson, Mustafa, Spinks and Qwai ... and I do like him .. it was just a killer group ...

 

Okay i respect your opinion, but like i said i disagree, one of the best stacked eras we had, but like i said i always felt Galindez was a pretty unique fighter, surprised me many a time in the ring doing something i didn't expect. Saad was as you say a monster, and a skilled one, Galindez for me is a greater, if only slightly light-heavyweight.

 

I have Moore at 2 then Charles. I think you mean Moore over Charles.

Yes Is that what you meant.

my whole reason for putting Charles at 3 is this he never actually although beating Moore and Maxim at 175. He never held the 175 title.

 

Here's my list.

1. Gene Tunney
2. Ezzard Charles
3. Michael Spinks
4. Archie Moore
5. Sam Langford
6. Harry Greb
7. Bob Foster
8. Billy Conn
9. Roy Jones, Jr.
10. Tommy Loughran
