    200lbs fighters today are far better than those that fought in the 190lbs division in the 80`s-90`s, they were awful, aside from Holy and Qawi. Hard for 140 to improve from the likes of Chavez Sr and Pryor but I feel Mayweather did because he was a champ for a short time in that division, but I`d say Pryor was the first great fighter in that division. 230+ fighhters improved when AJ and Wilder came along as them too improved and Fury then raised the bar by beating Wlad, who was the best 230+ fighter up to that point.
