    Would this 5 as a group be the most dangerous and skilled and greatest in a weight class ever?

    Evil Stinky Dookie Droopy Man drops them a little, but even still.

    :D

    They got better as time went on. It does happen. At least one of them had a very short amatuer career, and I think maybe both.

    Dre didn't want no smoke with Bivol, Beterbiev or Gvozdyk after his refs and judges secured him the 'wins' against Kovalev. He ran like a thief in the night when the division was on fire and it was full of killers. He obviously knew, given the controversy of the Kovalev fights, that his refs and judges wouldn't be able to get away with robbing all those guys like they did Kovalev so he tucked tail and decided to call it a day citing his body no longer being able to withstand the rigors of the sport at just 33 years of age which is hardly old for a LHW. How very convenient.
