    What does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that 1985 was a particularly weak end of year top ten for 80s welterweights?

    What he's really saying is that he hopes there's a way for heavyweights from the 1940s to match favorably with today's crop.

    Ayers was a tall welterweight who was thought to be the next big thing after he gave Marlon Starling a very tough fight. Then his career got derailed by injuries and incarceration.

    If it were perhaps any other year, I think I'd pick Mayweather over Curry, but Curry wiped out McCrory in 1985 and that version of the Lone Star Cobra was something else. Tough call, though.
