    In no order
    Charles
    Tunney
    Moore
    Loughran
    Harold Johnson
    Spinks
    Byrd
    Moorer
    Langford
    Conn

    wasn’t sure to include Bivins or not over Byrd who only has a few LHW fights

    You have to include Fitzsimmons here. I'd say that someone like Tommy Gibbons and Joe Choynski have both solid cases as well.

    Who exactly did Gibbons beat at heavyweight? Miske? Soldier Lee?

    Hell, Bob Foster beat Willie Besmanoff and Whitehurst. I'll take that over Gibbons.

    Fitz deserves a spot I suppose. I would leave Gibbons out. I am def biased to pre 30s fighters I figured putting Tunney and Loughran would suffice.
