    How deep (or shallow) was the list around the early-mid 1990s?

    1995 I remember was an extremely strong year. I will post it later tonight or tomorrow. In general, I think the standard was pretty high around that time.

    There have been weak years, there have been (imo) weak number 1s (Tito one year), there have been weak inclusions (Buster Douglas, Juan Diaz, Zab Judah), but things seem to go in cycles, each decade seems to have a really strong year ('81, '95, '03).

    Strong line-up eh? Not quite as strong as '03 or '81, but still another vintage year IMO.

    Nah. But remember - that was the year that Pacquiao smashed him to bits.
