I have heard a lot of people moan about the heavyweights of the 80's but i don't think they were anywhere near as bad as people make out. Recently i have been downloading a load of 80's fights and in fact there where some great fights much better than the awful fights the current bunch of heavyweights produce. We had the following fighters active in the 80's
Mike Tyson
Larry Holmes
Evander Holyfield
Frank Bruno
Michael Dokes
Donovan Ruddock
Tony Tucker
Michael Spinks
Tony Tubbs
Buster Douglas
Tim Witherspoon
Carl Williams
Greg Page
Mike Weaver
Gerry Cooney
Pinklon Thomas
Bonecrusher Smith
Gerry Coetzee
Tex Cobb
John Tate
Some of these fighters produced great fights a few examples below, i think the problem is some of the people that make these comments haven't actually seen many of there fights.
