1 Langford
2 Dempsey
3 Holyfield
4 Marciano
5 Charles
6 Tunney
7 Patterson
8 Loughran
9 Moore
10 Braxton

Somewhat in order. I don't know how great Moore was at that weight range. I do not consider him a great heavyweight even by olden weight standards.

Please pick your top ten fighters who boxed fairly regularly between180lbs and190lbs,when prime.
I'll name mine but in no order,if you want to rank yours in terms of greatness, feel free to do so.

Dempsey
Langford
Marciano
The above stand out from the pack for me.
Charles
Schmeling
Patterson
Moore
Tunney
Loughran
Bivins
Something like that.
* I didn't include Walcott,I didn't feel he did enough between those weights.
*Neither did I include Fitzsimmons, because his weights are extremely difficult to confirm .
Feel free to include them or anyone else ,eg ,Corbett ,H Johnson.Machen, if you so wish.

I'll go....

Langford
Charles

Holyfield

this is just off the top of my head. Id have to really put some thought in to be more accurate.

- - I'll just point out Beterbiev beat Bivol and has been weighing in at 174 for his career, thus his career fighting between 180 and 190, and maybe over 190 for the last few fights. Also one of the best 39 year old fighters in history and soon to make 40 if he beat Bivol again, perhaps by KO this go round.

Do you know the difference between Beterbiev and all the other fighters named? They all had official weights between 180lbs and 190lbs. Artur has never had an official weight over 175lbs, disqualifying him from this discussion.

- - Yer creator DQed U IQ.

Beter was a natural Olympic Hvy who cut weight for pros so he could fight at 180-190+.

Usyk beat Beter in the amas parlayed his Olympic Hvy Gold Medal into a legendary run in the 200+ Pro Cruiser division and now replicated in Heavywt.

Thems da facts that U could never understand.

Whatever you say Corky. The only fact is Beter has never officially weighed about the lightheavyweight limit as a professional.

I find this problematic simply because of the change in weight and weigh in rules.

But ok.

Langford

Johnson.

Dempsey.

Schemling

Tunney.

Charles.

Marciano.

Machen.

Patterson.

Braxston.

Holyfield.

Usyk was too heavy for the rules.

I think we have the same problem with Jack Johnson that we have with Fitz regarding weights.

Why are either of them more difficult than contemporaries? Like Langford.
