I think a Middleweight tourney would be amazing due to the competition around then being amazing. Who do you think would come out on top if we put Julian Jackson, Mike McCallum, Gerald McCllelan and James Toney in a 4 way tournament? All in their prime forms at Middleweight.
Fantasy Late 80's/Early 90's Middleweight Tournament

Roy Jones never became a factor in the middleweight division until 1992 and even then he wasn't much of a contender,By which time Toney was moving up to 168 and Mccallum was moving up to 175 and Kalambay and graham were faded fighters by such a time.Jones had his one win over Hopkins which ended his run in the middleweight division apart from a brief title defense against thomas tate a year later.Comment

I would say early 80's would be 80-83, mid 80's 84-86 and late 80's 87-89. Likewise with the nineties.
So Jones beat Hopkins for the IBF title in 93 (early 90's)
Kalambay lost the MW title in 89 (late 80's) and challenged McCallum in 91 (early 90's)
Keep trollingComment

By the time Jones beat Hopkins,Kalambay had just fought his last fight,And Toney and Mccallum were no longer fighting at 160.So I guess Jones's inclusion in such a tournament wouldn't have actually been possible would it?
You wonder who's the actual true troll around these parts,I don't believe I actually threw one insult into my post,Just a mere partial response to you and yet you respond directly to me with an added insult.Comment

Jackson may not have been at his peak but I think McClellan would always beat him, good chin, good skills, plus he had power and jackson was wild and had a shaky jaw-very good fighter though, awesome powerComment
