id like to see them all fight each other, new and old, id like to see some of the SMWs from periods in between join in too


seems leonard and hearns and co are always considered the best but im not so sure, the 90s and early 00s supermiddleweights might have something to say about that too
But it wasn't just about SMW for these guys. Before they even got to that weight, every single one of them had achieved more in their careers than ANY of the modern day guys that were mentioned. They went up to those weights because there was nothing else to achieve lower down. SMW was probably the least significant part of all their careers. It's like they were ATG's twice over and had 2 careers each!
