Pretty much the murderers row compared to today's era..

There's been some terrific fighters in recent years.
The top guys hold up.
The problem I see is Floyd ducked most of them when they were at their best, and stacked the cards against them in every conceivable way when he finally did pick the time to box them. It used to be that top fighters wanted to fight a man at his very best because they wanted those bragging rights and didn't want there to be any excuses the man could make for losing. Floyd made it possible that every guy he boxed in the last decade has a few valid excuses why they lost...

You forgot Julian Jackson and G-Man McClellan...

You forgot Julian Jackson and G-Man McClellan...

No, I didn't forget, they were Middleweight Champions. Two of the most destructive hitters you'll ever see.

Jackson had been 154 in the 80s, but was 160 in the early to mid 90s which we're discussing, and by mid 90s, Julian was finished as a top guy.
