Who was the King of the 90s?

[Shem]

I know I might be in the minority on this one...but my vote goes to My Favorite fighter...Lennox Lewis. Fought all big names...never ducked anyone and has defeated every man that was placed in front of him. I think Roy has a strong case also....but IMHO I have to roll with my boy Lennox..." NO ONE TEST THIS" Classic.

Agree, I went with Lennox too.

After going to boxrec to refresh my memory, i have to say that Oscar had more noteworthy wins. My pic is Oscar.

Yes, he does have more wins and fought better competition. Roy was dominat in the lHW division which even his most ardent supporters have to admit was limited. Oscar went up in weight and beat dudes, his stay at 147 is extremely impressive. Had he recieved the nod against Tito , which i still believe he should have, he would have been undefeatd in the 90's. He would have been an undefeated 4 divsion champ, 3 if you don't count the WBO.

I say Roy, i just wish his competition was a bit stiffer. There was a period where he was fought a garbage man, a subsitute teacher, and a police officer, all while in his prime.

And there was a time when he also fought HOF Fighters such as Toney, Hopkins, McCallum and Hill.

Also other fighters such as Tarver, Woods, Griffin, Hanshaw, Ruiz, and the guy who gave Darius his first loss Gonzales.

Oscar lost most if not all of his big fights (Prime fighters), got awarded decisions and fought Past prime fighters.

Roy was far more dominant in his days.

Jones was the best, but Oscar was boxing

The only guy he has a loss to in the 90's was Tito. I don't believe he lost that fight, so 4 divsion champ , 3 if you dont count the WBo is very impressive. Check his run at Ww , look at the guys he was fighting. No other fighter today, can match that competition.

James toney you should of had more names on your poll like mike tyson.

Roy takes this easily.

I wanted to put a WW, LHW and a HW fighter. I don't think Toney should be added because he lost to RJJr, and RJJr eclipsed him. I do think, however, that I should have added Holyfield.

Jones was actually doing his thing throughout the 90's on top of everything else. He didn't emerge up in 98-99'.
