    Firstly, why the hell Moore is greater than Charles? and Secondly, dafuq is Roy doing in number #3? Top 5 should easily be:

    1. Ezzard Charles
    2. Archie Moore
    3. Gene Tunney
    4. Michael Spinks
    5. Tommy Loughran/Billy Conn

    Gotta go with Michael Spinks as number 1. O. n the basis of the strength of the rest of the division he dominatedOf course some of the other guys had much more extensive records, but I say that's typical of old school vs new school fighters.

    Cause Morre is more known for being a light heavyweight while Ezzard Charles spent a lot of time at Heavyweight where he arguably is better know for.

    Uh. Off the top of my head.

    Ezzard Charles- Undeniably
    Archie Moore- If there was no Charles he'd be 1# easy
    Mike Spinks maybe
    Harold Johnson somewhere....
    Conn? Slapsy? Tommy?

    I don't know the 175lbs guys division all that well.

    Speaking of Mr Nelo. Seeing him take on Ilunga Junior Makabu would have been cool too.
