    That's beacause it followed the 70's. Any decade following the 70's would look lackluster and weak.

    I feel the 80's were a talent laden decade sabotaged by Don King shenanigans. You had heavyweights with great amateur pedigree and fought their way to the top. The 90's were loaded with talent but fell short as well. These guys took the eye opening power surge and road the popularity initiated by Tyson to get the excitement back in the division.

    Lewis' competition wasn't much better than Tyson's. Tyson fought the more established fighters. Lewis fought the bigger punchers who lacked skills. Briggs, Mavrovic, Grant, Tua...who did these guys fight that tested their "championship" mettle? Golota lost twice to Bowe before hyperventilating in the ring.

    My point is we can pick apart both their opposition.

    The 80's were rich with heavyweight talent.

    Lewis by a landslide. Is this really even a question? Tyson never beat anything over a C+ fighter

    No... No they weren't.

    The fact a shot to **** Holmes and LHW Spinks are considered Tysons bests wins tells us that Tysons era was ****.

    Golota was beating the **** out of Bowe... twice. Before having a mental breakdown and getting DQ like a ******. Fact still remains Bowe was getting beat up and Lewis smashed him

    You missed some names off Lewisis list. Lewis has the better record by far but obviously Tyson was otherwise detained for a portion of his career.

    I'm the ****in idiot? You obviously know **** about 80's heavyweights. Smith,Tucker in his absolute prime, Tubbs, better heavyweights than the 2 mediocre fighters that stretched Lewis in his prime. An better than most of the fighters on Lewis resume. Spinks grew into heavyweight fine. Stop bein stupid
