    Thomas Hearns was definitelythe best 154 pounder of all. Mike McCallum taking runner up spot. Sugar Ray Leonard was pretty good at that weight too. When he beat Ayub Kalule. All of the above,imo,would have beaten Norris,prime for prime. Leonard had had it by the time he actually did fight Norris.

    Hearns and McCallum would **** him at 154. I'd give a few more a good chance.

    No Sandro Mazzhingi? He did more and better at the weight than Trinidad, DLD and Mugabi. :-( Hell, I would even put Eckhard Dagge above them.

    He was okay but just a beltholder and lost everytime he stepped up to the big boys.

    Mazzhingi was different. Anywhere close to his prime he just lost to Nino Benvenuti. He held onto both lightmiddleweight titles two times, beat better opposition and beat the man who beat the man who beat him in Ki Soo Kim.
