But we are talking about the 3 best LHW's ever here. Though one has gone thus far un named.
I'll name him: Archie Moore.
:bow:
As for Pep/Sadler, there was that plane crash issue that gives a good counter to the numbers.

I think if you throw out the head to head between Moore and Charles, Moore was slightly better at lightheavy. However, with Charles going 3-0 vs Moore, I think Charles was slightly better, though arguable either way. Those two, Spinks, Tunney, maybe Langford if you count him as lightheavy, are the best and are very close.

Spinks-Charles would have been close and interesting.
