Most recently, two good middleweights were active simultaneously when Sergio Martinez beat Kelly Pavlik and when he beat Paul Williams. Before that, there was the Jermain Taylor fights against Bernard Hopkins. And so on.
Right now, there's GGG and the rest of the division. Lee and Saunders are solid, but not top level guys. Same with the rest of the division.
