    Nothing to suggest Saunders is near that level. He isn't. They aren't today.

    LOL!

    Reggie was several levels better.

    Saunders is a journeyman in the early 90s. Nothing more than domestic level.

    Who does ole Billy have success against out of the 90s middleweights?

    Does he arguably beat Toney the way Reggie did?

    Does he beat Collins the way Reggie did?

    No, he does not. Saunders blows.

    LOL. No he was not.

    It was a close fight, but I had Reggie winning a deserved 7-5 decision.

    Your definition of robbery is ridiculous.

    Overrated Collins? Got beat by Mike McCallum, but yet many claim Roy ducked him? That Collins?

    Only had 16 fights, was expected to be an tuneup for McCallum but he struggled and was running away the last 2 rounds.

    Oh my god. He wasn't running away. He had already won the fight so he was playing it safe
    Johnson beat Collins and at one poinr had Colins out on his feet

    People don't do boxing today. Nobody. Everyone wanted to be a boxer back then and tried. Infinite wider talent pool.
