Not really. Back then you had well known lightweight, welterweight champs and middleweight champs. What made boxing hot back then was that there were lots of stars in all different weight classes. You got Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Mancini, Arguello, Arron Pryor (who was a fucking Monster)- I mean it was a big time back then. It's nowhere near that now.
