I think you nailed it and there are only so many eras you can include. At 147, I kinda like that SRR-Gavilan transition period. There's a period of good hvy action in the early 90's that I liked. In addition, I think the middleweight scene in the late-80's get a little neglected.

All in all, very interesting.
Rosendo Alvarez deserves a hard, hard look for the HOF in my view. I just wish he hadn't been so irresponsible about his weight.

The late 1940's welters of Robinson, Gavilan and then who? I guess Bernard Docusen, Tommy Bell, Sugar George Costner, Johnny Bratton and Beau Jack? With Robby and the Cuban Hawk leading the parade that's a better group than I'd thought of. Good catch!

And somehow I just missed mentioning the 90's heavies. That's simply a mistake. Eavander, Riddick Foreman, Moorer Lennox, Tucker. Like I said, just a mistake.

Late 80's middles. I guess that's who? Nunn and the Blade and Kalambay and then who? Duran I guess. Michael Olajide? Not too shabby.
