Thank you for posting. Interesting take, especially on Kim Duk Koo.
That's funny, Chuck Wepner. The only way that holds up is if the Rocky films can be shown to have appreciably increased interest in the fight game. I suspect those movies created more WWE fans than boxing fans.
What about Holyfield, who was a warrior in the ring and followed the Tyson era? Or Lennox Lewis, international heavyweight champion dominant throughout most of the 90s, who won two gold medals, had a lot of knockouts, avenged both of his losses and cleaned out the heavyweight division?
I only had room for ten. Someone was bound to be left off the list. Two good choices, I would say Holyfield was more important. Without him Bowe has no career and the 90’s HW landscape just isn’t the same.

Good point and good list. I'd take out Kim Duk Koo then and throw one of them in. Because you have the smaller Holyfield moving up from cruiser and winning for years at heavy and one of the few foreign heavyweight champions.
