Which LHW's would you favor over a Prime Jack Johnson

For me none.

 

Harold Johnson
Spinks
Moore

 

Not a lot. Maybe if RJJ had an iron chin he could slick his way to a points win?

 

Jack & Harold would be a real barn- burner!lol

 

Hang on. What's the lightest Marciano ever fought at?

 

Joe Choynski.

 

While he could lose to plenty, I'd favor none over him.

 

What was Prime Johnson? If it's the one that beat a 1910 Jeffries, the least I would say is that I would pick quite a few lightheavies to turn the same trick.

 

Did you not notice the word PRIME in the title?

 

Stanley "Frapping" Ketchel? When he got his teeth embedded in Johnson gloves.....and knocked out cold.

 

1903–1910 Edit
The light-heavyweight division was created in 1903, the brainchild of Chicago journalist Lou Houseman who was also a boxing manager and promoter. He matched his own fighter Jack Root with Kid McCoy and announced the fight as being for the light-heavyweight championship of the world. The boxing press accepted the new weight division and Root was accepted as the inaugural world champion. Jack Root was defeated in his first title defense against George Gardner_(boxer), who was considered the most thrilling fighter in the division, and the first undisputed Light - Heavyweight Champion of the World. During the 1980s, however, some boxing historians found records indicating that Joe Choynski won a twenty-round decision over Jimmy Ryan on August 18, 1899, in a fight billed as being for the light heavyweight championship. Choynski never seems to have made any claim to be the first light heavyweight champion
