    No doubt about that Loudon. I think strong contenders who never made it to elite status like Bruno, Golota or Rahman would definitely be in today's top 10. Actually I think they'd be too strong to be handpicked by Wilder's handlers for a voluntary title shot :yep

    No, it's not a good sign at all. The success those two had is an abnormality brought upon by unusually weak champions and leading contenders in Mercer, Rodriguez, McCall, and Moorer. Holyfield even got flak for struggling so much with them.

    Foreman won two of those belts from Moorer.

    I wouldn't with any confidence.

    Golf stole all the great black middle weights of our era.

    The fact that the late mid to late 2000s and early to mid 2010s were ruled by a guy who couldn't go 2 rounds with a semi retired pro golfer is a HUGE blow to those decades...

    hey aint saying nothing about middleweight, I mean well done to the guys doing well now but as I said the real slick American talent is going to other sports now, making these champions easily the weakest in history
