    No way in hell should that bum Glen Johnson be above Eddie Mustafa Muhammed! Neither should Maske.

    I agree with your top 5.

    Good list but I have a few minor issues. Hill should be over Quawi IMO. Maske did more than Griffin, Hopkins, Dawson and perhaps even Tarver he deserves to be there. I´d put Rocchigiani over Griffin and Dawson too so far.

    1. Mike Spinks
    2. Roy Jones
    3. Dariusz Michalczewski
    4. Virgil Hill
    5. Dwight Muhammad Quawi
    6. Matthew Saad Muhammad
    7. Henry Maske
    8. Antonio Tarver
    9. Graziano Rocchigiani
    0. Bernard Hopkins

    Spinks, Qwai, Saad Muhammad, Mustafa Muhammad and Marvin Johnson were all devastating light heavyweights and their coming together at the same time gave us one of the best light heavyweight eras ever .... any of them in their prime would have dominated the Virgil Hill era or the Roy Jones era ... but you wouldn't know this because you're a twat.

    Hopkins because of his win over Tarver. Or are you including the catch weight fights against Pavlik and Wright?

    He doesn't deserve to be there Johnson and Griffin deserve it more.

    Those fights were inside the lhw limit, so yes I include them. I also scored Hopkins-Calzaghe 114-113 for Hopkins. He didn´t have many fights there but those wins are very impressive. Griffin has a shout to be ranked over him though. Johnson not so much.

    Right, I was mainly referring to the last 20 year group. Should have specified, but forgot that there were some posters like yourself with sand in their vagina... or is it just a hard on for the posters that refute your nonsense? :think

    Hopkins and Tarver do not belong in the same LHW conversation as Maske. Seriously.

    And no one thinks Prince Charles with his 9 title defenses does not belong in the top-10?
