    Spinks, Archie and Ezzard. I don't think any other LHW's would beat Ruiz TBH.

    That includes Conn and Tunney, I really truly don't think they beat him.

    I think another guy who gets minimal credit for successfully moving up in weight decisions Ruiz--Adamek.

    Finally Bob Foster can grab himself a belt at Heavy.

    Charles Moore Spinks Tunney Conn

    Langford probably as well.

    Does Michael Moorer count? If Spinks does, MM should as well given how MM started at light heavy.
