What was the third best era for heavyweights?

[Dr. Z]

LOl your insane. Worse era ever... fighters who threw two types of punches, moved like elephants in quicksand, and all fought in that technically brilliant Ammy style: step step jab, repeat rinse, repeat rinse, step jab, step step jab, repeat ad infinitum, if opponent gives death rattle, eyes fold up to back of head, and drops hand, open up and throw a cross! No wait... clinch instead, jab step step, etc...

Klit was on America's networks, just on the clinch channel... If you could afford your cable bill you would know that.

Wlad has fast hands. He moves well around the ring. And he is puncher who fought many styles including other punchers. You don't know what your are talking about.

After the Brewster fighter Wlad relied on a jab and grab style to keep him out of danger. He was once a good fighter that relied on skill until his chin was exposed. Than he became afraid to get hit and Steward changed his style and saved his career.

You know it's a weak era when the only people defending an entire era focus their defense on how good one or two boxers of the era were.

If I said Wlad's the GOAT it doesn't make 05-15 worth half a damn, doesn't make Mormeck a real HW contender, doesn't turn Saunders into tactical juggernaught, doesn't give Peter any endurance, doesn't really prove or even suggest **** except for apparently Wlad fans are some crybaby ass mother ****ers.


Wlad was so good he struggled or got beaten every single time he faced anyone with any talent. In order to protect Wlad we pretend like Povetkin, who avoided title fights while Wlad was champion for about a decade, managed to stop no one from getting to titles before him, managed to get no titles himself, was always smaller, and has a resume of Wlad's leftovers, but, on Wlad's resume he's a name.

That's a **** era bubba

- -End of the day, the Ks dominated not only in wins, KOs, and rounds won, but they still got Americans squealing in soprano...

Both first round HOFers which is a sight better than most HOFers, but more importantly, they more than any other shifted the weight requirements of the heavy division that necessitated the WBC and others to create the Bridgette Wt Belt. Many of the fighters they fought will be elected to th HOF as happens in every era.

Like who? Vits MAY have Adamek as far as wins go, and Wlad may have Haye and Byrd. You make make arguments none of them belong in the HOF. LMAO....."many fighters"!

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Its generally accepted that the early to mid 70s was the best era for heavies: comeback stage Ali, young Foreman, prime Frazier, Norton, and a slew of others. Usually, I hear the mid 90s referenced as the next best era: Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, post prison Tyson.

So what was the third best era for heavies? Was there another era that can supplant either of these two? Maybe early to mid 60s?

I’d say the 60’s.

[QueensburyRules]

I’d say the 60’s.

- -Joe Frazier owns the 60s contrary to typical fan boy blathering...you could look it up...Casey Stengal...

Oh here we go another who cannot accept an opposing view... He fought notoriously weak competition and lost to the best puncher he ever fought... who was not even that good (Sanders). And unlike Lewis would not give a rematch cause he knew he would lose again. I am hardly the only one with this opinion...Haye to many was damaged goods when he fought Vlad... and was not really a bona fide punching heavyweight as compared to Sanders... though Haye was better than Sanders, more consistent at least.

here is the funny thing. I was going to wait for Dr Z to respond with "Haye was the best puncher Vlad fought not Sanders!" I would implore anyone to check haye's record and Sanders record, especially at heavyweight to determine who was the more accomplished puncher.

Your such a bad joke... You squeal in delight about belts, titles, the HOF which has Stallone and Gatti in it, as though these things matter... Boxing is about ATG not HOF... you dumb?
