TOP 10 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS IN BOXING HISTORY

1. EZZARD CHARLES- its pretty simple really, the ole mongoose Archie Moore ruled the light heavies better than anyone ever and Ezzard Charles beat Archie Moore 3 times in 3 fights once by knockout over a prime Archie Moore.

2.ARCHIE MOORE- he created the cross armed defense that George Foreman used in his career, he owns the record for the most knockouts in boxing history with 131. wow.

3.MICHAEL SPINKS- went undefeated as light heavyweight champion , he unified the title by beating Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, Dwight Muhammad Qawi, and Eddie Davis.

4.Gene Tunney- his record was 80 wins 1 loss and 4 draws with 48 k.o.s he beat the great Harry Greb, he also moved onto the heavyweights and one that title also by beating the legendary Jack Dempsey.

5. BOB FOSTER- made 14 successful defenses of the title that he one by knocking the great Dick Tiger senseless, watch bob foster vs. dick tiger to see horrific power.

6. ROY JONES, JR.- dominated the light heavies for almost 10 years amazing reflexes rarely in a competitive fight.

7. HARRY GREB- he is the only man to ever beat Gene Tunney and he won the title from him, he also beat tommy gibbons,mickey walker, and tiger flowers.

8.SAM LANGFORD- was denied many opportunities cause he was black in a racist time and cause he was soooo skilled one of the best light heavy and heavy weights ever.

9. BILLY CONN- probaby most remembered for almost beating the great Joe Louis for the heavyweight belt but was a fine light heavy with superb boxing skill and great foot work.

10. TOMMY LOUGHRAN-  remembered for 2 failed bids at the heavy weight title but was a complete fighter at light heavy and one that title and beat mickey walker,pete latzo, and jimmy braddock in defenses.
