    So slick. Criminally overlooked from that era.

    I wish, for the mesh of styles, that he'd have faced Michael Watson. That could have been a great fight.

    But how would he have fared against the following...

    Nunn
    Kalambay
    GGG
    Benn
    Eubank

    Perhaps the greatest and deepest era in middleweight history.

    Absolutely ridiculous it was!

    I saw the 1991 MW Rankings before... the 10th best MW could have beaten the 2nd best MW on any given night.

    You won't see that division stacked like that ever again.

    Who needed Johnson? He loses to all those named, but he would have made everyone look terrible and the fights with the Brits would have been close.

    That top 10 is ridiculously good.
