I think the 70’s were the golden age too. The 80’s were the most exciting. If you weren’t alive for the rise of tyson, its hard to understand what a sensation he was. 90’s were amazing. The 2000’s were the “Boring Age”. The Klitchko’s were like sleeping pills, I loved seeing Fury beat Vlad and end the most boring reign in boxing history. Jab and hold, jab and hold, for almost a decade. The last 5 years have been great though. Im glad Fury also showed how outclassed Wilder is if you make him box too! Wilder has always been extremely overrated, he fought tomato cans for most of his career. I think any true boxer, like Joshua or Fury, could beat him easily now that its been shown just how clumsy and how little real skill Wilder has. He’s got a right hand, thats it.

@per aspera ad astra ¿ ok for one you are severely underrating the depth of the 90's. You mentioned Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield but failed to mention Bowe who on his best night could give any heavyweight in history all they could handle. Funny you would use Frazier as the measuring cuz I believe all 4 of those guys beat Frazier. He woulda been too small for Bowe and Lewis, Holy could possibly outwork him tho that woulda been a war, and he'd be fighting fire with fire against Tyson. Also you overrate Foreman's performance at that stage. Yes he overachieved in his fight against Holy, but he still got pummeled. Then he was outclassed by Tommy Morrison of all people who wasn't known for his boxing skill. Then he's beaten from pillar to post by Moorer for 9 1/2 rounds until he was able to land that right hand cuz Moorer was dumb enough to stand right in front of him. Then he gets a gift against Axel Schultz, goes the distance with Crawford Grimsley???? I mean it says alot that while he was lineal champion, ring magazine had him rated the 6th best heavyweight in '95.

8:32 - "Mercer's menacing display of power" during the Morrison fight was just as much a staggering display of referee incompetence. Tommy was caught on the chin by a left and knocked completely unconscious before being forced to endure NINE full-on, tee-off face punches before he was given the courtesy of a stoppage. An eight count after the first or second one is the norm and would have been nice. Coincidentally, Tommy was a very courteous boxer in this regard. As far as I remember, when he saw an opponent take a punch and go limp he was very quick to stop the attack and retreat to his corner.

Jay Eisenhardt it wasn't jus a miracle it was a gift from God Allah shit Moses and Santa helped Ali too he was gettin pummeled the whole fight but Foreman gassed out and Ali took that gift and capitalized on it and also sold the whole world on that rope a dope bullshit. He ain't plan that shit he jus ain't want that smoke and hugged and hid. Horrible fight and strategic move. Instead of rope a dope call that future Parkinson's dope or hope I don't die fuckin with this monster hide on the ropes... I guess they don't roll off the tounge as nicely but more accurate imo

Tyson was one of a kind. People say 80s fighters sucked yet Larry Holmes, Jesse Ferguson, Tony Tucker, Frank Bruno and many more made a comeback in the 90s to fight the greats like Evander, Lewis, Mercer and others. Tyson Blew through the 80s fighters like nothing though.

Thanx large for this. I miss this era of HW's. Everybody was into this shit when I was younger, but over time interest in HW boxing faded as the 90s stars faded. Looks like the Klit era is officially over now after the Joshua fight. Lennox didn't get many props until he retired. It'll likely be the same for Wlad.

Andrew "The nutcracker" Golota

[@msn-360]

he was a dick but golota still would have destroyed bowe without low blows, both being absolute units though.

[@calebcompton9120]

Golota had alot of problems actually. He did time in prison in his home country for killing someone in a street fight. I remember when he quit against Mike Tyson. I was so pissed off because i ordered the pay per view, it was supposed to be an amazing fight. Instead, Tyson hit him so hard that he broke his orbital bone in his face, causing Golota to quit in the third round i think. Lou Duva was screaming in his face "get the fuck back out there, you'll disgrace yourself", trying to shove his mouth piece back in. Tyson was furious, the audience was furious, throwing beer and food at him as he left the ring. His career never really recovered after that. Pretty sad

[@tswrench]

@@calebcompton9120 -- I'm no Golota fan, but fighting with a broken orbital bone is the same as fighting with one eye. Golota's injuries from that fight were more extensive than just the orbital bone--he was hospitalized with a concussion, and a neck injury too. If you're going to "quit" in a fight, that would be time to do it.

@@operationhope1959 Im from Poland, I can anwser you. Golota hates giving interviews and always responds question with 2-3 word. But he was asked many times about this and usually his anwser was "I dont know"/Im not sure" but sometimes he said something like "I was so fucking tired". The truth is Golota was so hurt, tired and mentally tired he gave up that fight. My my favorite anwser by Golota to that question is to Polish former President Kwaśniewski (Kwaśniewski told that story, Golota never declined it), that when he asked Andrew "Why?" he said " Honestly? He pissed me off".
