      Depends whether your talking overall or any weight in particular.

        Exactly. Even if one division is "down" in particular era another will pick up the slack.

            Pretty much all the eras were great, except for the current one, IMO. This era 2000-2010 has been awful for the heavyweights. When the heavies are down, all of boxing seems to suffer.

                The fabulous 4 reminds me of todays era except its Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Joe Calzaghe and Mikkel Kessler

                Jones beats Hopkins
                Calzaghe beats Hopkins
                Calzaghe beat Kessler

                Calzaghe is somewhat the equivilent of SRL except hes never lost

                  Well, the fabulous 3 anyway.

                  Kessler has to fight Jones or Hopkins for him to really be thrown in.
