    In terms of the world class talent that was around? Take a look at the numerous elite fighters around at that time, a lot of them are ATG's, or some of the most skilled fighters ever.

    Manny Pacquiao
    Floyd Mayweather
    Lennox Lewis
    Pernell Whitaker
    Roy Jones
    Bernard Hopkins
    Evander Holyfield
    James Toney
    Riddick Bowe
    Shane Mosley
    ODLH
    Tito Trinidad
    Eric Morales
    Marco Barrera
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Mike Tyson

    I dont know whether Chavez and Azumah Nelson would be considered 80 or 90's, as they fought through both era's, but I guess you could say Nelson might of been a better fighter in the 80's, than he was in the 90's.

    You have other guys like Kostya Zoo, Vernon Forrest, Winky Wright.

    Don't be so literal, gaytard.

    By the way, I'm not actually saying that you are a mentally handicapped homosexual.

    90s was the greatest era for many many things, boxing included. 90s > 2000s.
