Greats who fought in weak eras vs Good fighters who fought in great eras.

[Mr140]

Reason moving up props boxers up is because it is hard to do size makes a difference. Holyfeild being undefeated at cw would mean nothing compared to moving up being a hw champ again and again. Micheal Spinks winning HW title put him higher then winning another lhw even though it was deep. Leonard, Duran and Hearns winning titles way above there starting weights helped define greatness. People always talk about pound for pound who would win if they were same size the people who move up and beat them put it to rest shows they can makes them greater to a lot of people.

Mr140/Tito. .good points pros and cons for moving up or holding it down LOL

If a person maintains the same weight. .like Haglar....stay I say.
If a person drains themselves to make weight I say move on up.

Gone are the days of the suicidal Hank
Say WHAT?!! 151 wins via 101KOs... defending his title 19 times in less than two years
Holding a triple crown aka 3divisions all in one year..
With what? Just 8 divisions So the jump in weight class was off the hook.

I guess rating eras can be opinionated. So too can rating fights, their reign and resume .

But I'd like to think no one in their right mind can deny Hank's accomplishments.
Great record, feat ..maybe his era was great. .maybe weak.....but then again...can we say all 3 divisions he fought in were weak?!!!
