    Lewis would end up on top, just like in the 90s. The rest would be musical chairs.

    Btw there was only like one year when Bowe, Tyson, Holyfield, and Lewis were all competing and relevant.

    Kind of like there was only a short window when Wilder, Joshua, Fury, Wlad and Povetkin were all good at the same time.

    Don`t know what your talking about, the top guy in the heavyweight division at the tail of the 90`s was Lennox Lewis, Bowe knocked out Gonzales with ease, so what are you talking about?

    Would a mediocre German farmer's boy like Axel Schulz get THREE title shots today? Like he did in the "oh so talent-stacked" 90s? Would the fat white buffalo Frans Botha get two title shots? That's how average the 90s were.

    So the 90's were average because Axel Schulz lost 3 title shots :nut:

    How awful was the post Lewis era when Wlad was creamed in two rounds from a contender left over from the 90's era :jaja-no:

    No but a fat, lazy, pre-diabetic Chris Arreola would get 3 undeserved title shots and Schultz would outbox Arreola much like Adamek did.

    You can’t use normal metrics for Mexican heavyweights. It’s what America and Mexico need, but nobody has been good enough. Being a Mexican heavyweight in the top 25 gets you an automatic title shot, maybe several.
    Mexicans in title shots:
    Andy 0-1
    Arreola 0-3
    Molina 0-2
    El Gallo Negro 0-1
