90's middleweight scene?

There was no one king for the full 10 years

 

Nobody really.

What an amazing group of fighters though:

Hopkins
McCallum
Benn
Eubank
Collins
Graham
Jackson
Kalambay
Roy
Toney
Reggie
Nunn
Gerald
Watson

 

No one dominant guy but lots of really good ones. I'd say Jones vs. Toney 1 was arguably the biggest MW fight of the decade.

 

Last year, Mirkofilipovic told me that those 90's MW's weren't as good as today's MW's.

 

It's a crying shame that those guys didn't stay in the division for a prolonged period and all fight each other.

 

I thought the fight was at SMW?

But both were talented MW's , just not sure how long either fought at that weight to be considered dominant. Seems their best/most title fights were at SMW.

 

I'll go Mike McCallum.

 

I thought he moved up in 92.

He beat Barkley in 90.

I know what you mean, he wasn't there long.

Actually, by the time Hopkins won the belt, most of those guys had either moved out of the division or retired.

It's a shame.

The first 2 years of the decade were the hottest.

 

A quick Google search and it appears you are right. Hmm. That's what 24 years will do to a memory.

And yes, that fight was 24 years ago last month.

 

A whose who of boxers that would **** Golovkin, and Canelo up.

 

Best era ever for MW. Absolute shark tank with no clear #1 guy.

 

lol why am I not surprised?

 

Thanks for reminding me how old I am. LOL!
