as someone has already touch on, its very easy to look back on yesteryear with a nostalgic eye and should how good it was back then

like the leonard, hagler, hearns, duran how amazing they were, but i dont think they are any better than some of the fighters we have had around that weight over the last 10 years, it was just the rivalries and the personalities all at the same time that made it look all that much better

then ali being the best HW of all time, he was certainly the best HW for television of all time

the benn eubank era was a better quality than the 4 we have today tho mind, the 4 we have today are good conenders, all would make a good defence for the champs where as benn, eubank, watson and collins were genuine world class fighters
