lol what a fckin joke.

Tyson won his first title in 86 and by 89 he was already lax in his training and letting his personal life get in the way of boxing.

Commitment to the sport

If you thought the 80s and 90s were great, you should have been around in the 70s (and early 80s). There were world title fights on free television almost every weekend. Almost all of Larry Holmes Hwt title fights were on free TV. Alexis Arguello, Mike Spinks, and Hagler were on free TV all the time. My favorite was when Bobby Chacon, Bazooka Limon, Cornelios Boza-Edwards and Rolando Navaette took turns trying to kill each other for the WBC 130lb belt. As they say, those were the days

Dont know how De La Hoya is a Cherry picker. guy fought the best from the late 90's all the way til he retired. And Pacquiao fought the best opposition at each weight almost his whole career. dont know how they are cherry pickers.

I miss the 80's and 90's where guys like Tyson could beat up old ladies in elevators for their purses and no one cared, or hit their wife so hard they bragged about it being the hardest punch he ever landed in public.

Great times~
