Documentary - A brief chronology of the 1990s heavyweight division

Don't have time to check it out now but probably some very cool stuff. Hard to believe you 8-9 lineal champions in the same decade.

 

Having cut my teeth first in the 80's with my primary love always being the Heavyweight division by the 90's I was a full blown boxing fanatic with an already very impressive fight collection (thank you dad for buying that vcr when very few would plunk down that much cash)

So I am extremely well versed in all things heavyweight boxing but mostly 1980 thru the present day. Watching my tapes over and over and absorbing as much as one could... You video was a very fun trip down memory lane, I still frequent the fights from this era, as much as one can anyway with a wife, job and two kids. Very nice work sir!!

 

bump this because I need to watch it

 

It was an exciting time in the heavyweight division especially compare to what we have now. At the time there was potential for even more great matchups that didn't pan out. Tyson-Holyfield in 92 and ofcourse Bowe/Lewis. All in all it was good stuff. I always wanted to see Tyson/Mercer as well. I thought that would have been a great fight for Tyson around `96 instead of chasing the paper belts. Mercer would have made Tyson dig deep and probably gone the distance with him.

 

Tyson vs Mercer in '96 would've been savage..., I know it's a fight Mercer wanted, I might even favor Mercer in '96..

 

You might be right. Either way I think if Tyson had fought Mercer that would have cleared away some of that ring rust and he could have gotten some rounds in.
