    Yeah, that's why I put the second sentence in. Ah well- I don't stand a chance with pre-70s fighters, TBH. That said, if Ishy's going by the Ring ratings then hopefully he can find some more examples.

    :lol:

    This is off topic but Henry Cooper was in the HW top 10 for five consecutive years and then for another two year later on. Pretty impressive.

    Because people like to think, that before Lacy, Calzaghe only fought Tocker Pudwell and Rick Thornberry.;)

    Lewis, Hide and Akinwande were all top 10 in 94
    Lewis, Bruno and Akinwande were top 10 in 95

    Lennox Lewis was a top 5 heavy for 11 years on the trot (92-03).

    Cowdell was only ranked in 81 (when he lost to Sal) and Barry was ranked in 84 and was champ in 85. They weren't ranked in the same year.
