    He was a big guy even by 80s-90s standards, could he have won a title in either decade at his peak?

    Very plausibly in the 80s, when the belts wee getting passed around.

    He has no chance. Boxing was a different sport back then

    He was good enough to be a champion in both decades. When he was focused and in shape he was a hard man to beat.
