Here we go a MW tournament throw these guys in an who would you bet coming out on top...
Thomas Hearns (a truly great fighter but beatable at this weight)
Ray Leonard (again a true great but how would he stand up to the power punchers when his chin was dentable as he moved up)
Julian Jackson
Nigel Benn
John Mugabi
Michael Nunn
Gerald McClellan
Chris Eubank
Mike McCallum
Steve Collins
Who would stand the best chance and who would want to avoid who???

Hell of a list!! - All top notch at MW....yet at the same time some better at SMW (Collins, Benn and Eubank IMO)...while others better at JMW (Jackson) -
Plus we have some of the biggest punchers P4P (Jackson, Hearns, McClellan)....and best chins (Eubank, Collins).
Hell I think many of these would be fights are true pick'ems too a degree -
Outside of Hearns, SRL and McClellan winning more often then not -
A prime J. Jackson Vs McClellan could go either way though (McClellan caught Jackson on the way down when he took his MW title).
I think Mugabi, Collins and Benn are at the bottom at MW -
Nunn would cause everyone some problems with his style....but I see him losing more often then not as well.
