The 2 welter champs at the time of this fight were Pipino Cuevas and Wilfredo Benitez..
Duran-Cuevas-Palomino-Benitez-Hearns-Leonard all in the hall of fame ad all fighting in the same division at this time. Has a division ever had that many HOF fighters at the same time?
@shire2005 I'll say! What an amazing time for boxing it was then in the middle weight classes. All actually fighting each other too! Duran fought every single one of them as well. I think all the others fought each other bar one of them. Hearns: Leonard, Duran, Benitez and Cuevas. Leonard (missed out on Cuevas and Palomino only): Duran, Benitez, and Hearns. Benitez: Duran, LEonard, Hearns and Palomino and Cuevas: Hearns, Duran and Benitez. Just simply amazing!
