1960's era vs 1990's era of heavyweights

Which top guys?

I know Bowe ducked Lewis.

Foreman ducked Lewis, Bowe, Holmes and a whole load of others.

Tyson and Bowe mutually agreed not to face each other because they were from the same neighbourhood and were friends.

Other than that, between them Holyfield and Lewis fought the best of the decade.

Tyson was only active for 4 years from the 90s, but still managed to fight Ruddock x2, Stewart, Bruno, Botha, Golota and Holyfield x2 (and of course Lewis, albeit a bit late)

Bowe, apart from Holyfield, didnt really fight anyone of note, oh except Golota.

 

All I see is duck, duck, goose.

Golota, Bruno, and Botha are the trinity of trash.

was scared of Tyson, flincking and ducking. He did not look at all like a fighter to be mentioned with Ali and Frazier. Tyson and Lewis fought in 2002 so neither one get any credit for this discussion.

Rudduck was a solid contender. Beat by both Tyson an Lewis. No problem there.

 

Care to elaborate?

i never said they were ATGs, but they were second tier fighters in a competitive era.

Low blows aside, he was beating the **** out of Riddick Bowe.

Botha was actually schooling Tyson before being Kod and gave Moorer a tough bout.

Bruno gave a good account of himself vs Lewis.

I never said they should be mentioned against Ali/Frazier, what is your point?

Ruddock was one of the most avoided heavyweights for a short period of time.
Tyson himself was accused of ducking Ruddock since '89, Bowe, Holyfield and Foreman wanted nothing to do with him.

 

Care to elaborate? Not really. If you are not putting that together then nevermind.

Yes he was doing well against Bowe then went psychopath. That fight shows me how bad Bowe was at the time of that fight. Lewis took out the trash in 94 seconds that Bowe should have. In short, Bowe was OK in terms of all-time great status.

Tyson of the 90's is not Tyson of the 80's. This was Mike's first fight back from being suspend for 15 months after the "ear bite" and we should give credit to the "White Buffalo" (what kind of ringname is that BTW?) for looking good for a while and then getting KO'ed in 5. He is lucky that Mike did not break his arm or bite his ear. Smoke clears...He is just another guy that KO'ed by Mike.

Maybe they ducked Rudduck..then they KO'ed him.
