Virgil Hill?

I am pretty sure Hill was the underdog when they fought in 96. I don't think you quite understand how tall and long Maske was

But he lost to Virgil, and Hill simply isn't comparable to these other fighters.

henry Maske was, at best, the fourth best Light Heavyweight of the 90s behind Roy, Dariusz and Hill. Of those men, only Roy, barely, could sniff the top ten (and I don't think he does). Putting Maske in the top 10 Light Heavies is either a joke or a wish.

based on match ups not resume.

Foster and Spinks would have a lot of trouble getting inside, the only way could win is by KO

Bob Foster was 6'3 with a heavyweights reach. He'd have Maske on the end of his hard jab the entire fight. Why would he (or Spinks) want to fight inside?

I agree. But SC is basing his opinions on h2h match ups. I personally can't see it but am willing to respect his opinion just the same.

That's cool. Maske didn't fight good enough fighters to gauge H2H with guys like Moore and Charles. Not his fault. The 90s was a pretty poor Light Heavyweight decade.

Here's is Foster against 6'6" heavyweight contender Ernie Terrell. Foster was doing some good work till being overpowered, and Maske never had a light heavyweight punch let alone that of a heavyweight.

Woah, nice job Bobby, and Terell was a monster sometimes too.

But to be woefully honest I don't know too much about the Light heavyweights :/

[Scott9945]

Well I thought about that and considered that I might be wrong, but then I saw your heavyweight list in this forum:

1. Rocky Marciano
2. Jack Dempsey
3. Gene Tunney
4. Vitali Klitschko
5. Wladimir Klitschko
6. John L Sullivan
7. Jim Jeffries

No way you can have an all White top 9 and not be racist. Sorry dude.
