    How do the likes of Wayne Llewellyn, Clifton Mitchell, Pele Reid, Keith "The Animal" Fletcher, James Oyebola, Julius Francis, Scott Welch, Michael Murray etc. shape up against the cream of the crop today?

    I'm not talking the world class guys like Hide, Lewis, Akinwande etc.

    Seems to me like it was a much more colourful era, what with Mitchell's bowler hat and Pele Reid's kicks and splits.

    Think the likes of price fury chisora are a level above. Maybe that's wishful thinking we will see

    The big 3 of Fury Chisora and Price are definitly alot more talented and skilled. But i could see a lot of exciting fights if you put the 90s guys in with the likes of McDermott Skelton Dallas and Sprott

    Scott Welch would do well against the others imo, was always gutted he ****ed up his world title fight, that fight was SO bad, poor guy froze
