    if you were good enough to win a title in the days when there was only one title, in arguably the deepest division there is then your more than good enough to be a multi title holding, 'multi-weight' champ nowaday

    This question right up there with 'Is Anthony Joshua an elite fighter?'

    Alan Minter is a British Boxing Legend fighting at a time when one had to fairly climb one table of rankings to get a title shot.

    Scary to think what Marvellous Marvin would have done to some of these pretenders nowadays such as Eubanks Jnr.

    I do wonder if Marvin would've campaigned as a Light Middle in this modern era given he wouldn't have had to do a same day weigh in?

    He walked around not too far away from fighting weight at 160 so with a day before weigh in, perhaps he would've boiled down to 154? You'd have to think a lot of Middle's nowadays would be much bigger than him in on fight night.

    Either way, what a ****ing fighter.

    Daniel Geele was pretty **** to be fair.

    Did Chris pyatt have a middleweight title in the 90's, or was that super middle? He was shocking
