Wink Lightweight landslide

Over the last several months I have become re-interested in the lightweight and junior lightweight divisions of the 1980s. When living it, I was always interested in the great matchups of the era, but don't think I fully appreciated what a strong time that was for the division over the course of history ... the end of Duran's domination, the Alexis Arguello and Aaron Pryor control of the JWWs, despite the presence of Mamby, Boza-Edwards, Bramble and other challengers; the Mancini-Arroyo-Haugen-Blake-Pazienza merry-go-round and so many other subplots ...

Anyway, as I went back I would see guys I could add here or there to improve my replay, and before I knew it I was compiling lists of all the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO champions and challengers; NABF, USBA, OPBF, British Commonwealth, South American, European and other champions to flesh things out in the LWs. Now I have 90 to post and I'm halfway through the JLWs ...

Long story short, I've got a bundle of guys to post here. Some have pictures I'll post in the appropriate archive strings as I can ... Anyone who has pics of these guys, please feel free to post them, and thanks in advance!

Also, I need to say that Scot's JLW string on another page of this TBCB Mods section was invaluable, although I missed a couple in my initial downloads and needlessly/unintentionally recreated them. Thanks and sorry, SAL. Take 'em for what they're worth guys ...
