    Ok so one thing that seems to keep ESB going is the debate over today's heavyweight division during the 1990's so here's another chance to play fantasy matchmaker. I'm listing 10 of the top heavyweights from the 90's (notsaying they'd shut out today's heavy's or were ATG's by any means) but then to now, lets have some fun and list who from today you think would be the best matchup for each. Just a quick example of what i'm hoping for. For instance we all know Wlad would KO Tommy Morrison, so don't put those two together just because today's heavy would win, who do you think would put together the best fight. Theres' alot better fantasy matchmakers than myself on here so i'm interested to see what everyone has to say, but i'll try a small mock card for starters.

    Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitchsko
    Riddick Bowe-Wladimir Klitchsko
    Mike Tyson-Ruslan Chagaev
    George Foreman-Nikolay Valuev
    Michael Moorer-Alexander Povetkin
    Evander Holyfield-David Haye
    Tommy Morrison-Chris Arreola
    Larry Holmes-Tony Thompson
    Ray Mercer-Sam Peter
    Razor Ruddick-Hasim Rahman
    David Tua-?


    Also throw in any others you can think of.

    Wlad and Vitali woulda been around 6 and 7 of the 90's HW's....they are the best in this era...but this era is weak....12-15 years ago there not anything special!

    The Klitschkos or Lewis would have been competitive in any era, and dominant in most: too big, strong, athletic. .

    Read this,, straight up HW title fights are ****. Wlad vs iggy was the worst fight i ever seen in my life(PPV too) like oh my god(garbage) Wlad is not a good champ. Too much money and to much politics for my likings. he wont fight anybody good and hes just a *****.. he makes a **** D even worst. this david haye bull**** is just getting stupid now.. people liek wlad and big V and vitaili are just garbage for boxing, need need warriors has champ.. crowd pleasers and just shut up anf fight. like march now,, why havent wlad fought. (rahman must of did a number on him) lol. just stupid **** day in and day out of the HWD Dennis Boycott is awsome and had class. He will be number 1 in 2-3 years
