Back then the junior welterweight division was on fire: Floyd Gatti Oktay Utkal Vivian Harris Carlos Maussa Cotto Ricky Hatton Zab Judah Plus whomever else...
Thank you! Yeah its things like this I'm curious about. Damn I love boxing. Tyson is innocent though!
Mid/Late 90s into the Early/Mid 00's Roy / Toney / Hopkins Chavez / Whitaker / De La Hoya / Tito / Shane / Vargas Lennox / Holyfield / Tyson / Bowe Naz / Kelley / Barerra / Morales / JMM / Pac
I already commented on that too... 80's Tyson in titlefights 10-0, plus been "the man" for most of the decade. 90's Tyson, 2-3 in titlefights... and never been "the man" in the entire decade.
I'll say the 80's if you go by the fact that many, many weight classes had some real horses. I'd personally like to say the 70's but I'm not sure as the only divisions I have a fairly decent knowledge of are the MW and HW divisions. Not sure how stacked the others were at the time other than Duran, Benitez and a couple others etc.........
Jury said otherwise Stone. Plus three more cases settled out of Court with big payoffs to the plaintiffs. I have respect for him as a Fighter but think he is a pretty horrible human being.
00s for me maybe with me being a 90s baby I'm a bit biased but with the rise of Mayweather and the crazy middleweight scene with Hopkins Taylor pavlik calzaghe winky was amazing and British heavyweight domestic scene was crazy the Lonsdale belt seemed to change ever week and was something the heavyweights seemed to really want to win with pride
The list goes on for the Welterweight : Oscar Delahoya, Mosley, Trinidad, Floyd Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker Featherweight: Naseem Hamed, Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez The heavyweight division was loaded too.
