1992 stomps out 2015, GGG included. Parks & Lamar from 1992 beats Lee & Murray. RJJ & JT beats everyone ranked. GGG probably stops JJ in a barnburner. Gman vs GGG FOTY candidate. Kalambay vs Cotto great matchup. Hopkins beats Taylor without controversy.

2015 has some good fighters, but no way in hell does 22 plus years of nutrition and conditioning coaches make a not-a-damn-F'n-difference for the MW's of today.

1992's MW's here? Don't need no stinkin' nutrition Ariza protein-vita-vegimin-roid-milkshake. 1992 beats 2015 MW's because they are just better.

Hands down.

Fun post. When did did RJJ move up in weight? Was this just after he beat Hopkins? Fought Hop in 93 @ MW, then moved to SMW in 94.

It's a bummer that with that deep of a division in 1992 that we didn't see more match-ups of top guys. Am I right?

Agrreed. JT was already having issues making MW by 92, even though he won it in 91. quietly taking on the names of Reggie Johnson, MiKe McCallum & Michael Nunn oh & Merqui Sosa- check this out...JT did this in one 1/2 years!!! The belt he relinquished is what Hop & RJJ fought for (vacant). JT in 2 fights took on Doug Dewitt & Iran Barkley-truley a throwback fighter (a word not overused or incorrectly used! LOL!

& Julian Jackson @ the time was having medical issues -his eye I think & he was really a Jr. Middle who ran into Gman who weighed as much as a SMW when he fought Jackson. There was some good matchups back then- they just didnt have the PPV hyped- they did their work on the undercards and 1/2 empty arenas.

When Jackson fought McCellan in their 1st match- it was billed as BOMBS AWAY.
Great friggin throwdown!!!! What was sad about it- look at the arena- they fought their butts off in a 1/2 empty arena.

I remember watching Yori Boy Campus v Roger Turner on an under card in the heat and near empty stadium fight a brilliant contest.

Put that on my to check out list: Campas-Turner.

Both were undefeated at the time, boxer v brawler. Quality action from 2 young hungry fighters.

It was not about the money back then, but having it was good. lolol... they had a point to prove. I think that is missing from this era's fighters- only a few of them do it because they actually like it. Money, while important, does not a fight make.

The only guy out there fighting the best of the best without the money being a priority is GGG- he would take anyone from 154 to 168. We know it. We all know it.

With Ward back now, hopefully for good, we would have another guy that would take on any and everyone from a certain band- 160 to 175. We know deep down that Ward would take a fight... we know it. Don't front.

Your comment reminds me of the end of Hopkins Echols I.

Antwon nails Hop less than a minute left, yet Hop doesn't clinch he fights it out & as soon as the bout ends: Hop goes to the only section where there were fans, like he was seeking their approval.

Did I impress? To which all of the 45-75 people gave their approval.

King put on some good fights on the under card.
