70's Heavy Really the best

Well the 90s has

Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe (On most peoples top ten head to head lists)

And then you have guys like

Ruddock, Morrison, Golota, Moorer, Mercer, Tua, Botha, Ibeabuchi, Bruno

This era's measures's up pretty well

 

Tyson definitley is and Bowe should be in the top 20 at least judging him from the 1st Holyfield fight.

 

You also had old Holmes and Foreman

Golotta, Buster Douglas, McCall, Tucker, Sanders, Herbie Hide, Akiwande, Briggs, Tony Tucker, Maskeev, Larry Donald.

90s had the deepest ever talent pool

 

Yes leagues behind the great Mathis and Bugner atsch

 

The very fact you're mentioning Leon Spinks proves what an overrated era it was.

 

You saidTucker twice. He doesn't even deserve one mention. :huh

 

The 1990s does run it close though. I think the Top 10 of the 1970s has the edge nonetheless.

 

Do you honestly believe fighters like George Chuvalo and Earnie Shavers were better than Donovan Ruddock or Tommy Morrison?

The problem with the contenders of the '60s and '70s is that they have become 'name' opponents just because they fought Muhammad Ali. There is nothing aside from that name that makes Oscar Bonavena more deservable of mention than David Tua.
