    Thing is no Light heavyweight has been a significant champion. Spinks, Moorer and Roy Jones were only heavyweight champions for a very short time. Only Holyfield, who was a cruiserweight, made a real impact on the division. In Holyfield's case, it was a hell of chin that kept him competitive in that division, something which Spinks, Moorer and Jones didn't possess.

    That fight was close no doubt but Holmes was not robbed, if you had to pick a winner in the first fight you'd have to pick Spinks. The second fight on the other hand Holmes was robbed.
