His win over Darryl Anthony was pretty good, Anthony was the only boxer to have ever beaten Breland in the amateurs i believe. His victory over Lloyd Honeyghan was very impressive and also check out his 2nd fight with Marlon Starling.
Heres a clip of his fight vs Aaron Davis.

Re: Mark Breland Vs Today's Welterweights
I think the late 80s to early 90s was a forgotten era in the WW division. Maybe it had a lot to do with Tyson's rise to fame. But like some said. A lot is made of the early 80s with Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Benitez also the late 90s with Whitaker, Quartey, De la Hoya, Trinidad. But that time in between that was sort of skipped with Curry, Brown, Sterling, Blocker, Honeyghan was pretty damn good too.

Oh Man I forgot about Shawn. I remember when they were bringing him up through the pro's slowly. They were bringing him along gradually until he had like a 10-0 record, then all of a sudden thought it would be a good idea to match him up with Simon Brown. I was like "WTF? they are gonna get him killed!"
It was a Massacre!!
