    Yes. I think boxing in general fell off a cliff around 1994-1995. The talent pool went bye bye.

    I've been on a kick lately putting in old tapes and checking in on this era, it's the one I grew up watching (late 80's - early 90's)

    I was always wanting to see Toney vs Benn, 2 guys that take no Sh**
    Toney would've probably won but I'd of pulled hard for the dark destroyer!!! Both guys are two of my all time faves

    That original list from 2011 by TIGEREDGE was responsible for many a late night and bleary morning at work having watched many of the listed above, and re-watching it on videotape to a.nalyse styles. Some great fights.
