Good list Truss,

How about 1923 Dempsey, Loughran, Greb, Britton, Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee

Pretty formidable

That's a good list..my list obviously has an edge in the fact there is more divisions...but it does look very formidable yes.....

More divisions I look at it as a bad thing though mate, its a great list but for example imagine Pryor Hearns and Leonard fighting for the main crown, as good as it gets. Always been a firm believer the junior divisions have had some sparkling talent but more of hinderance to me.

I think some of the added divisions do make sense. But at the really light weights, where the difference between weight divisions is taking a good shiiite in the morning, there simply are too many.
