No worse than the 2000's....


An average joe gets proclaimed Ring Champion for losing to a 37 year-old, then beating a fringe top-10 guy 40 lbs over his ideal weight, a 38 year-old golfer, and an overweight barely top-20 clubfighter.

The next consensus best HW got demolished in 2 rounds to the same semi-retired golfer.
He also lost to a fringe top-10 guy but his fans claim that doesn't count because he was drugged with poisoned vaseline by a green man.

A 7 foot tall ape almost breaks Marciano's unbeaten record.

Andrew Golota shows heart and wins a title.

Evander Holyfield is still active.

Former MW James Toney wins a HW title, then gets stripped for failing a drug test.

Kali Meehan, John Ruiz and Michael Moorer are all still in the WBA top-10.

Rahman, McCall, Ruiz, McCline & Golota are still in the WBC top-10.

 

^^ damn right! great era but WOW until you write it down you don't realize how ****ed up it was and how, despite some entertaining antics, this may have caused a lot of backlash and loss of popularity for the heavies

No wonder the Klitchkos are so dominate they are actually in shape. The modern heavyweights woudn't know a barbell form a saladbar.

 

i think that's the problem. everyone is so into this **** that they forgot simple hard work. and it's hard to get pumped up for the gym when you know you're just gonna face some fatass that is just as undisciplined as you are

 

valuev is the missing link. i can prove it. at least i would if he would stand still for the photographs. they're always so blurry. one day you hairy *******, one day...

 

The weirdest thing that happened in 90's :nut

 

Yea the 90's heavyweight scene was without a doubt special and bizarre to say the least:rasta
Morrison tests positive for HIV FEB 1996:deal
And what about Riddick Bowe's manager pulling Tillery over the ropes after Tillary tried to kick Bowe in the nuts, that looked like some WWF ****, why was everybody always going after Bowe,s nuts...:huh
And what about Riddick getting kicked out of the Marines, afetr only 2 weeks for being lazy:deal..
The weirdist **** centered around Holy- the fan man deal, the Tyson biting incident, and what about that fight with Rahman when he looked like an orange grew inside his head:nut and finally Lewis was clearly robbed in that 1st Holy fight, the FIXX WAS IN:-(...
The best heavyweight fight of the 90's Bowe -Holy 1, and damn i miss the 90's **** these days are BORING!!!:zzz THE Klit bros rule the division but are boring!! they are to robotic no personality, especiality Vitaly he has the persona of an ice cube, at least, Bowe, Tyson, Morrison, and even Holy had some personality, even Lennox is friendlier then robot Vitaly..

 

I think there is like some kind of agreement between th midtier heavies to not stay in shape. It use to be that if you came in out of shape no matter how tallented you were you were going to get your ass kicked. Today its like they have a gentelmans agreement to be fatasses.

 

I miss Jimmy Thunder!!!

 

Prime Thunder TKO 7 Arreola

 

Jimmeh would thrive in his prime today!

Jimmeh is the uncrowned undisputed champ of the 90's!
