    When ? I'm continually fascinated reading about the likes of Willie Pep. Was it during his time ?

    The late 70's, earl 80's was something else...Sanchez, Lil Red, Pedroza, Lockridge..Young Laporte and Nelson. etc..even past prime Olivares makes a cameo.

    But the mid 60's deserves a shout...Saldivar, Legra, Ramos, Famechon, Winstone, Seki Robertson..even Laguna was a top contender for a little while...quite possibly my favourite and might just get my vote.

    The MAB-Morales-Pac-Marquez..Hamedish era was damn strong also but you get a sense of how many more stronger periods the division has enjoyed.
