Rank them: Spinks,Jones,Loughran,Tiger,Conn and Foster

I'm not handing out points for being a smaller LH tho. At his LH peak Conn was coming in at the 170+. Have a look at this for a minor eye opener, Spinks weights thru his peak were 173 3/4, 173, 173 3/4, 172, 173 3/4, 172 3/4, 173, 173 3/4, 172, 170 1/2 and 175. Only in his last fight mentioned did he even hit 174 :blood

 

I don't doubt Conn could fight out of 168, no problem mate. I'd actually pick Jones to beat him there tho. Probably no-one else.

 

The power Spinks gets into the short finishing hybrid uppercut/hook is simply astonishing.

Indeed, what a damn match. How much speed would reside in that ring

 

Where's Charles? Anyway.


Loughran
Conn
Foster
Spinks
Jones
Tiger

 

I find it comical and kind of sad that Jones would be rated this hight at LH.

1. Spinks
2. Foster
3. Loughran
4. Conn
5. Jones
6. Tiger

Tiger Flowers was better than Dick Tiger
John Henry Lewis and Moore should be on this list. Jimmy Bivens anyone?

 

LH is never actually mentioned tho. I believe this is a P4P thread as he mentions 3 make ATG top 50 in the initial post.

 

Are you talking about ranking these guys at Light-heavyweight, seeing as they were all LH's at one time or another? This needs to be clarified.

 

P4p is a bit different.

1. Jones
2. Spinks
3. Foster
4. Loughran
5. Tiger
6. Conn

 

This is how Ring Magazine saw it P4P in 2002,

1. Tiger
2. Jones
3. Spinks
4. Loughran
5. Foster
6. Conn

 

I don't know what Tiger did to earn such lofty praise.

 

He beat four reigning world champions, won at least 7 fights against fellow HOFers, and is the only fighter in the past 100 years to hold unified world titles at both 160 and 175.
