the light-h division 1975-85 basically post foster all the way up to michael spinx.

i was wondering if someone could give me the top 10 light-h of that era and define when each of there prime years were and perhaps tell me a little bit about them each.

There were some very good ones in that era . Ill give some info from memory and guys I have seen fight.
Victor Galindez- hard guy very rugged style champ for awhile.
James Scott -convict fought on national tv from Rahway state Penn.
tough well conditioned. Had some good wins but couldnt
win parole.
Jesse Burnett-ex con solid pro some good wins.
Marvin Johnson-Good champ from Indiannapoilis kod Galindez
Matthew Saad Muhamed-Great warrior hugely entertaining.
Eddie Mustapha Muhamed-Good champ and very talented boxer/puncher.
holds a victory over a yound Matthew Saad.
Yaqui Lopez- solid contender from tough Stockton Calif. Wars with Saad
are legendary.
Jerry the bull Martin-strong fighter solid contender beat Scott at Rahway.
No easy feat.
Mike Rossman-Champ but only for a short while.Beat Galindez in a big
upset.
Dwight Muhamed Quawi- Camden Buzzsaw originaly known as
Dwight Braxton. Real good fighter. Beat saad
twice . Champ for awhile. Also clobbered Scott
at Rahway. Qwawi also an ex con.

A couple others who were solid fighters.
Jerry Celastine
Vonzell Johnson

It was a great time for the Light Heavies. Im sure I forgot a few.But Thats not really a top ten in order , for that I would put it as:

Mikchael Spinks
Eddie Mustapha
Quawi
Saad Muhamed
Marvin Johnson
Victor Galindez
James Scott
Yaqui Lopez
Mike Rossman
Jesse Burnett.

expug sums it up nicely.

May I add John Conteh to the above list?

BB49 get hold of almost any 70's Saad Muhammad or Qawi fights on tape and you wont be dissappointed.

I should have included Conteh. Good call Ko.
Mike quarry was a tough kid also. Some good wins there.

If you don't have it already, get the Matthew Saad v Yaqui Lopez fight. Lopez beats Saad so bad, 10 out of 10 referees today would have stopped the fight, but Saad survives and scores a late stoppeage.
