    Collins
    Graham
    Jackson
    Kalambay
    Roy
    Toney

    No one dominant guy but lots of really good ones. I'd say Jones vs. Toney 1 was arguably the biggest MW fight of the decade.

    Last year, Mirkofilipovic told me that those 90's MW's weren't as good as today's MW's.

    It's a crying shame that those guys didn't stay in the division for a prolonged period and all fight each other.

    I thought the fight was at SMW?

    But both were talented MW's , just not sure how long either fought at that weight to be considered dominant. Seems their best/most title fights were at SMW.

    I thought he moved up in 92.

    He beat Barkley in 90.

    I know what you mean, he wasn't there long.

    Actually, by the time Hopkins won the belt, most of those guys had either moved out of the division or retired.

    It's a shame.

    The first 2 years of the decade were the hottest.

    A quick Google search and it appears you are right. Hmm. That's what 24 years will do to a memory.

    And yes, that fight was 24 years ago last month.

    Best era ever for MW. Absolute shark tank with no clear #1 guy.
