    No one else had a problem comprehending the title of the thread,so perhaps it is you who is senile?


    Lets take a look at your picks.

    Tiger ,had 6 fights at 175lbs scoring only 2 stoppages one a tko ,the other over an obscure African having his debut fight!
    Ridiculous choice!
    Torres ,had 9 fights at 175lbs scoring 5 stoppages,average power .
    Jones,had 27 fights at175lbs ,scored 11 stoppages, again nothing awesome there.
    Qawi ,26 lightheavyweight bouts with 12 stopped good, but not by any means top power at the weight.
    Michalezewski,feasted on WBO second raters ,a record that is heavily padded.

    Off the wall choices from an individual who time and again demonstrates his capacity to illustrate his own lack of knowledge of the subject addressed.:-(







    TBH I haven't read one post of yours that wasn't off the wall garbage,and that is making allowances for English not being your first language.
    Of course you have the right to post the dross you do , just don't expect us to take it seriously.:-(

    Qawi wasn't top 3 in his own era, Spinks, Saad and EMM were all bigger hitters. Marvin Johnson hit hard too.

    Qawi had decent power tho. Very solid hitter but not a homerun hitter.

    Yes. He flopped badly at heavyweight, but for one-shot power at 175 he stands out like a sore thumb historically.

    A division of monster punchers ..

    All along at the top are Langford and Fitz, small light heavyweights that flattened heavyweights.

    Foster
    Mustafa Muhammad
    Saad Muhammad
    Spinks
    Moorer
    Moore
    Satterfield
    Yvon Durrelle
    Kid Norfolk
    George Carpienter
    Nigel Benn
    Jullian Jackson
    Thomas Hearns
    Many others ... murderous punchers at this weight ..

    My mistake. I was distracted by end and thought thought middleweights. No Benn, Jackson or Hearns. Good pick up mate.

    I honestly think that Langford sits high among the heavyweights.

    Certainly as a finisher.

    Not sure about Saad. Either that or I insanely under rate Qawi.

    Saad could not force his respect and couldn't keep him off him. More than that, where he failed , Spinks could succeed.

    I put it down to Saad being a bit over rated with respect to his power, but it could just be that Qawi really was that good.

    Saad was burnt and Qwai was too good defensively .. in his prime Saad was a monster ..

    The Saad and Spinks fights were poles apart. Spinks had a completely different skillset and style.
