Official Decade Survey - Deadlines Listed at the Top of Page 1

This is your top 10 boxers of the 90s? Are you sure you don't mean the 80s? And if that's the case, get rid of Lennox Lewis from that list lol

 

Hi, I knew of this forum for a number of years but never made an account to participate until now. I found this thread via Rummy's 'Top 10 P4P Boxers in the 1960s' video. I'm just wondering if I were to participate in the future decades survey, is it as simple as leaving a list here?

 

Thanks for letting me know Rummy, it is baffling to me that Olivares is this low

 

1980s

1. Julio Cesar Chavez
2. Larry Holmes
3. Marvelous Marvin Hagler
4. Thomas Hearns
5. Michael Spinks
6. Sugar Ray Leonard
7. Roberto Duran
8. Hilario Zapata
9. Eusebio Pedroza
10. Chang Jung-koo
11. Aaron Pryor
12. Salvador Sanchez
13. Khaosai Galaxy
14. Azuma Nelson
15. Yuh Myung-woo
16. Gilberto Roman
17. Watanabe Jiro
18. Wilfredo Gomez
19. Mike Tyson
20. Dwight Muhammad Qawi
21. Mike McCallum
22. Jeff Chandler
23. Alexis Arguello
24. Donald Curry
25. Miguel Lora

Honourable mentions: Pernell Whitaker, Evander Holyfield, Roger Mayweather, Lupe Pintor, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Meldrick Taylor, Hector Camacho, Edwin Rosario, Sumbu Kalambay, Micahel Nunn, Iran Barkley, Virgil Hill...well there's probably some good champions that I missed but the 80s was that deep. I think the boxers I listed in my top 25 covered every single weight class in existence then, sometimes I do feel like I was arbitrarily splitting hairs doing this but I'm content with how my list has turned out.

 

Me too Noel, he went 55-0-1 in the 60's, almost all by stoppage, including winning the title in a dominating stoppage win over BW ATG Lionel Rose, plus wins over Alan Rudkin, Jose Medel, Kazuyoshi and Kanazawa, Takao Sukurai, Salvatorre Burruni and (an admittedly pre-prime) Octavo Gomez.

He should be a lock for the top 10 imo, but this survey is (correctly) an equal democracy, so alas, we've been outvoted.

But Hagler didnt even fight in the 90s, neither did Spinks...
