Fair enough. It was closer to 18 months. But I wasn't meaning to use hyperbole, and I was not even really trying to win an argument - just stating...
Beyond that, for me (at least from an American perspective) these guys were fighting 3-4 times a year in a lot of cases, and back then HBO did a...
Even when that one happened, it had been nearly 7 years since the previous one. Crazy to think we had 5 undisputed heavyweight champs in the 1990s.
