    I'm not a resumé guy but the LHWs dominated the drama during that period. Lots of pick-'um fights that actually happen and didn't disappoint when they happened.

    They filled the gap with Ali gone and Holmes never really gelling with the fans.

    Saad Muhammad was a joy to watch.

    Ad at least another dozen more names and than came Spinks.

    Great fights; no ducks.
    Yeah, it was a great era, but do you put it ahead of late 40s?

    Ez, Arch, Bivins, Billy Smith, Lloyd Marshall, Harold Johnson emerging, tail end of Gus Lesnevich. I still lean towards that era.
