    I know, and it drives me crazy. I've been looking for several of his title fights for a long time, and really couldn't believe that in the mid 80s cruiserweight title bouts were not being filmed, and I believe this collection has all of them. I'm really excited about watching the fights with Gaymon and Parkey.

    Generally the early cruiserweights weren’t highly regarded as a lot.

    Heavyweight was where it was at and at that time you could still compete in that division with the best if you were in the 190s, and it was mostly guys who couldn’t cut it at 175.

    There were probably some underrated guys in there but the division hadn’t taken hold and many weren’t sure it ever would.

    If they started a 215-pound division today, you’d see the same thing.
