Best of the 80s

All things considered, and based on his record at the end of the period, I would have to pick Mike Tyson.

 

Duran was easily beaten by Benitez, mashed by Hearns and embarrassed against Leonard and Laing. "Hey, he was out of shape". Funny how he never out of shape when faced with a guy that stood right in front of him. Oh yeah, he beat a faded Cuevas and immediately shouted "I want Davey Moore". Not "I want Tommy Hearns" (the 'other' 154 champ). I wonder why? Oh, we know why, sorry nearly forgot.

 

Good points. Roberto lost heaps and Tyson was indeed considered unbeatable by many.

 

Yep. Overall I, like yourself, rate Larry above Mike- But Holmes' very best work came from 1978-1982. So he was fading, slightly, as the decade was barely three years old.*

If only Tony Ayala hadn't self-destructed......

Well in that case Tony prolly fulfilled his 80's potential i think. I wouldn't say he really self destructed. Well, maybe career choice was a bit dodgy

2- Marvin Hagler
3- Julio cesar Chavez
4- Donald Curry

Forget somone? lol

 

Yeah .....hate to say it , but it was Holyfield ....:|

 

I think he means Tony Danza...



Danza would probably want to change his name to Ayala after seeing how El Torito tears apart Moore, Duran, and Hearns......provided he doesn't victimize another woman.

 

I thought maybe SRL could squeek in just ahead of hmmm what was his name, Honeyghan

 

Okay , okay ....I am not a sugar ray fan ....btw i rank him number 11.......
