That looks about right. Had him beating Rocchi though by one point though and Watson by three. I had Schommer winning 9-3.
Even guys who DIDN'T win a title like Herol Graham, Michael Watson and Lamar Parks were SUPERB talents, and Michael Olajide, Tim Littles and dudes like that. It was ridiculous. Hideous.
Herol Graham is the shining example of how stacked the division was, a guy as technically sublime as that has no right being just another contender.
Oh Graham was unbelievable. He made Lindell Holmes, Ayub Kalule, Mike McCallum and Julian Jackson look like amateurs, novices for the first four rounds. All very, very good world champions or great fighters (Holmes was avoided by the Fab Four like the plague). Kalule gave a peak Leonard a much tougher time. I thought he was robbed in the Kalambay rematch, and drew with with the master McCallum (won without point taken, on my card). He was #1 contender to Hearns in 83 and Tommy wanted none of that after seeing tapes.
A lot of what he says here is logical but Nunn was not considered P4P the top guy by 1990 after his split decision wins over Starling and Barkley, Chavez was the main man by then: As selected by The Ring magazine in the April 1991 issue. Pound For Pound Julio Cesar Chavez Pernell Whitaker Michael Nunn Antonio Esparragoza Meldrick Taylor Evander Holyfield Mike Tyson Raul Perez Myung-Woo Yuh Khaosai Galaxy
Graham didn`t land much on McCalum in the first four rounds of their clash because of his excessive movement he also struggled with Mike`s superior counter punching.
Is he hinting Watson was on something for the return, "He changed so much in 3 months, I don't know how" ??
