      It's going to be hard to convince people to watch a 48 minute long video.

      But I started watching this and got hooked...made it through the first 20 minutes or so before having to stop to do something else.

      I think you did a commendable job of covering what was going on with the major players at the top of the P4P lists in each year of the 90's. My only nitpick so far would be that you skipped over some significant fights, such as Julio Cesar Chavez vs Hector Camacho and Felix Trinidad vs Camacho.

      But overall good work. Thanks for doing this, I plan to watch the rest at a later time.

        A couple of days but as a boxing fan it wasn’t too painful.

        With YouTube downloader now you can download a 50 minute video in a couple of seconds.

            Thanks for the feeback.

            I considered putting Camacho in a couple of other times but his fights were so long it seemed like it was going to take a while to analyse.

            If I make another one (depending on how this one goes) then I think I'll try and keep it to the 10 minute mark. I'm thinking of doing a "how good actually was he?" for Naseem Hamed.

              You actually did, it's a short snippet starting at the 8:14 mark. My apologies.

              This video is a good little trip down boxing memory lane for those years. I was young during that decade but these are the fights that got me curious about the sport and then caused me to fall in love with it. Along with following the boxing magazines to keep up with it all, even though they were always months behind at the time of publication.

              Anyway, you will hear some people say that heavyweights can't be on a P4P list. But as your video shows the likes of Evander Holyfield and Rid**** Bowe were regularly included back then. As long as their skills are elite there is no reason why the big men should be excluded.

                    Is that an inside joke?
