    Who are the ten heaviest hitters we have had in the light heavyweight class?
    Some names to conjure with:
    Fitzsimmons
    Langford
    Choynski
    Foster
    Moore
    Berlenbach
    Fox[Tiger Jack]
    Kovalev
    Satterfield
    Stevenson
    Spinks
    Moorer

    ??????????????

    Manassa used to bang on that Charles was a huge hitter at 175 prior to killing someone. He compared his power to Spinks tho i am not convinced he was on that level.

    Michael Moorer had immense power at 175 too.

    Any sane, responsible list would begin with Foster.

    I'd put Archie Moore at #1, though Sam Langford and Bob Fitzsimmons might have hit harder (I'd rate them in other divisions).

    These two belong in the top 10. They fought in a strong era against the best in the division and exhibited KO power in many of their fights.

    Kovalev might fit in somewhere.

    He scored knockouts over Moore, Marshall, Bivens, Smith, Ray, et al at the weight. He's in discussion, at any rate.
