Julio at 14!!!? Bowe doesn't make the cut. You got Roy correct, tho. Broken clock is right twice a day, I hear.
Chavez could possibly be too places higher but nothing more.Bowe beat Holyfield twice,Tubbs,Thomas,Hide,Donald,Gonzalez and Seldon.He has a better record than people give him credit.I don’t hold the Golota fights against because Bowe was clearly worn out from his epic trilogy with Holyfield,The best version of Riddick Bowe would’ve knocked Golota out.
A) I do hold the performances against Golota against him. Golota was a nothing and he struggled mightily. Dokes was literally blowing cracksmoke during his ring walk, Bounty Hunter beat Pinky before Bowe did, there was a heavyweight named Herbie? and one named Pierre? and Bowe faced them both and struggled? During the 1990's Chavez beat an undefeated Meldrick Taylor, once beaten Frankie Mitchell, once beaten Hector Camacho, Camacho's vanquisher Haugen, Terrance Alli, Frankie Randall, Tony Lopez, David Kamau and Joey Gamache. And while over the hill and over his best weight, he held the great Pernell Whitaker to a draw, some say he won. He also held Miguel Angel Gonzalez to a draw. And this was not even his best decade as a fighter.
Golota landed some borderline shots throughout both fights that may slowed Bowe down.I wasn’t giving Bowe credit for beating a washed up Michael Dokes or Pierre Coetzer. You can’t take two dominant wins over Evander Holyfield away from him and Holyfield was pretty close to top form the first time.In the rubber match Bowe got off the floor to knock Holyfield out.
1- Roy Jones 2-Whitaker 3-Chavez 4-Holyfield 5-Trinidad or De La Hoya The others are Toney, Terry Norris, Bowe, Khaosai Galaxy and all the rest are equal... I know tha for you british fans in those days Hamed, Benn and Eubank are great but they were not all that great....imo
https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine's_Annual_Ratings:_1991 Look at how stacked was this p4p rating and who was el número uno (for everyone). And we are supposed to see Nigel Benn above Julio.
Again from here - https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...nes-listed-at-the-top-of-page-1.693501/page-3 - and again only based on fights in the 90s: 1. Whitaker 2. RJJ 3. ODLH 4. Lewis 5. Toney 6. Holyfield 7. Trinidad 8. JCC 9. Lopez 10. Hamed 11. Michalczewski 12. Hopkins 13. Bowe 14. Moorer 15. Norris 16. Kil-Moon 17. Arbachakov 18. Carbajal 19. Morales 20. Vasquez 21. Eubank 22. Benn 23. Gonzalez 24. Mostly 25. Junior Jones
All three were leaps and bounds more successful than Norris ever was IMO. Khaosai's résumé is terrible compared to Hamed's too, for me.
