    My original question is. Do you know a a recent fighter maybe from the last 40 yrs that has done something similar?
    it just came once every decade that a division is being competitive and famous; like the recent 126/130 3M era..

    mosley for example dominated the 135 division but so bad that there wasn't a household name there.. he could have lure Kostya and ZAB in 140 but he jumped to 147 instead.

    pbf has a good run at 130/135, castillo/chico was a good victim but it could have been better if he beat popo freitas and casamayor..

        He lost to Mosley twice ( 1 and 1 of you like to argue about it )
        He lost to Trinidad (Can be argued also) but DIDnt Rematch him
        He narrowly beat Quartey (Again can be disputed) and didnt Rematch him.


        It pales in Comparison really. I hope you can see that.
        Chavezx2,Whitaker,Camacho,Quartey,Trinidad,Mosleyx 2,Gatti,Castillejo,Vargas,Sturm,Hopkins,Mayorga,Ma yweather,Forbes and Pacquiao. I find it just as impressive to fight the other top fighters as fighting ones you've already faced. The top fighter other DLH during this time was Mosley and after losing to Mosley he did rematch him. DLH made an entire career of facing the best fighters win or lose and while I am thoroughly impressed with Pacs resume I find it no more impressive than DLHs. When you are consistently facing the best fighters available you dont always have time for rematches.

          Leonard didnt rematch Hagler
          Lennox Didnt secure a fight with Bowe and i agree Bowe ducked Lennox

          In your opinion JMM beat Pac twice, That's fine with me also.

          like i said Lennox Lewis !!! its not his fault bowe ducked him. he still fought everyone else. pacquiao didnt secure fights with the best at 135 or 140 either buddy. and im not sayin i dont like pacquiao, because hes one of my favorite fighters, i got pictures of him on my wall just like the rest of u *******s!

              Would you have been more impressed with DLHs resume had he rematched Trinidad in 2000 instead of facing Mosley?

                Yes, Lewis.

                He didn't fight Bowe, because Bowe didn't want it. That can't be held against Lewis, he wanted the fight, Bowe threw his belt away. Although, I do agree that Pac's resume is very impressive.
