1934 at MW 1935, 36 & 37... yes at L-HW... 1938 at Both MW & L-HW. 1939 back at L-HW https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings:_1938 everybody knows/knew Mac was a MW first, cum L-HW. so he still qualified at MW and especially in 38 to answer your question. It has been written numerous times that McAvoy was never given a Shot at MW. why should I/we think he shouldn't have?
But how many fights at middle did he have in those 3 years ? It's my understanding that Joe Bamford was essentially a super middle.
