Which Era was the best in Light-Heavyweight History

Correct.....but you did forget one outstanding boxer called Rudy Koopmans...........:good

 

40'sn was the best

also the 10's: Langford, Gibbons, Levinsky, Carpeinter, O'Brien, Dillon, O'Brien etc

 

:-(

 

:dead

 

Rudy did very well against Eddie Mustafa.....but he got headbutted
and was badly cut....he should have gotten a rematch....

 

:rofl:rofl

 

the 1920's hand downs. We had Battling Levinsky, Georges Carpentier, Tommy Loughran, Jack Delaney, Paul Berlenbach, Jimmy Slattery, Battling Siki, Mike McTigue, Maxie Rosenbloom, That is a pretty tight era right there.

 

Thsos are just the champs that rein in the 20's and early 30's(RosenBloom was a contender in the 20's and rein in the 30's)

In the 90's all we had was Jones Jr, Hill and DM. And Jr and DM were not getting around to fighting each other lol.

The 40's and 10's are a strong 2nd though.

 

Strong group of fighters of couse. But the 20's were a level ahead of em. Outside of Spinks, I see no one beating Tommy Lougran or Jack Delaney imo. And even with Spinks it's 50 50. The 20's I rank Delaney 1rst, follow by Loughran, Than Carp, Berlenbach is also a guy I would rank high. All these guys are pretty impressive on film. Berlenbach was a great fighter, and though he lack knockout power for his slugging style, He out slick the boxers as he did with Delaney, (Delaney did finger him out by the 3rd fight). Berlenbach was a pretty akward fighter added some wrestling to the style he had. I think he do great in the 80's short of a rival with Spinks.
