Is this at least the second best era ever for the HW division?

    That is clearly not better than todays era, the funny thing is that you have used all of the fighters you could have from the 80's, choosing them at their peak, while the thread starter has only added the active fighters in their peak now for his list.

    Byrd, Rahman, Ibragimov, Brock, Briggs and probably a few more I am forgetting would have to be added to this era as well, amazing depth really.

    late 60's early 70's is better and so is the 90's but it is an okay era. just a lot of the challengers and contenders are not dedicated

  5. The 70s then the 90s then the 80s then 60s and then todays heavyweights because in the other eras the guys only weighed 180 pounds so they werent heavyweights

    What a fool you are.

    Did you see the Tony Tucker that was beat by Herbie Hide about 20 years out of his prime? He was fat as hell. He was about 260lbs.

    Ibriganov on the other hand is apparently one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, yet an ancient Holyfield gave him a tough fight.

    James Toney, fat as hell middleweight came up and beat the hell out of a still reasonable Holyfield.

    Liakovich? Good job on getting knocked out by a wheezing Briggs who was relevant 10 years and 40 lbs ago.

    And Vitali? Let's put it into perspective. What happened when a prime Tyson met up with his 38 year old aging champ? He demolished him, meanwhile the aging champ went through and beat the **** outta a PRIME Mercer, and OLD ONE OF WHICH IS WLAD's BEST WIN.

    So what happened to Vitali when he met his aging champ in his prime? His eye almost popped out and he was hanging on like a raging homosexual.

    And Wlad? :lol:

    Please....

    Didn't he get the **** beat outta him by ****in NOBODIES like PURRITY, BREWSTER, and SANDERS? He was in his 7th title defense against Sanders with a gold medal amatuer experience, and 40 fights, yet PEOPLE SAY HE WAS GREEN?

    Please, he got hit once, stuck his ass in the air ready for his manhood to be taken, like Vitali does everynight when they are naked together like they are in several public pictures.

    And Adamek?

    Come on, I like Adamek, but the mother ****er looked like **** against an old as hell Grand and piece of **** McBride.

    Who the **** is Boystov? And the great Dimentreko? :lol:

    That piece of **** got the **** beat outta him by piece of **** Chambers who is one of the worst heavyweight fighters I've ever seen represent the US, as supposedly ELITE.

    This is a piece of **** era aside from Wlad, Vitali and Haye.

    What the **** are you talking about?

    BRIGGS is not in this era unless you're talking about the PIECE of **** Briggs that weighs 260 lbs. He's a 90's fighter you dumbass.

    Ibrigamov had a tough time with OLD AS HELL Holyfield.

    Rahman? YOu are ****in moron. Did you just start watching boxing?

    If you seriously think this a strong era then you need to watch boxing from years gone by. Plus if they was this great depth you claim there is now, the bottom line is no ****er fights anyone. Every single top fighter in the division is guilty of cherry-picking. It seems everyone wants to make a decent living with has little risk has possible. Fair enough, but the sport itself suffers. Plus were is the technique and skill we used to see in the division. Not glorified sparring sessions.
    Wlad and Haye are only fighting it seems because there is no longer no one else, and they can't drag it out any longer.
    Strong era? ****ing worst in history mate.

    In regards to the 80s heavys, they tended to work at a much faster pace than nowadays and were more athletic and generally faster.

    On the flipside, the majority of these fighters really weren't much kop technically or in regards to ring IQ - Pinklon Thomas for example, who with his fast hands really and truly should never be beaten to the punch by either Weaver or Berbick because of his nasty habit of telegraphing his right hand (amongst other, footwork related habits). I don't remember, Chagaev - the most unathletic top fighter since God knows when, having any of these glaring offensive or defensive frailties, and I think he'd do okay in that era.
