Heaviest hitters at Light Heavy

[Ezzard]

A lot of champs in this division were highly skilled fighters. Bob Foster comes to mind as having a dynamite punch. I also think Spinks' right hand was formidable. Moore could dig as could Charles but who else would make a roll call of top 175 hitters???

[DoubleM]

Bob Foster was by far and away the most dynamite of them all, to our knowledge.

Sam Langford, Michael Spinks, Bob Satterfield and Archie Moore could all crack.

[Expug]

Foster for sure, Tiger Jack Fox was a good puncher.

[KOJOE90]

Bob Fitzsimmons.

Eddy Mustapha Mohammed comes to mind. I remember him knocking out Jerry " The Bull" Martin with one punch.

He was a good puncher. I was impressed when he bombed Marvin Johnson out of there. Eddies power is underated I think.

I was thinking the same thing, about being underated as a puncher. Might have been because he lacked agressivness. Sometimes he could be a bit dull. A lot of people don't associate power with a non aggressive style. Johnson brought out the best in him. Eddie landed some real bombs that night.

True,Eddie was a very skillfull fighter with a big punch but he wasn't very motivated,or just too cautious.I remember watching him against Johnson and he just toyed with him yet didn't stop him till the 11th.As I remember it he was schooling Spinks until his eye closed.

The hardest LH hitter was probably Joe Choynski. But the division didn't exist back then, so he was a 175 pounder forced to fight larger men. Corbett, Jeffries and Sharkey all said he hit hardest of all. He KO'd Jack Johnson with a single punch.

good choice, choynski can bang with the best of them
