Better Heavyweight era: 70s or 90s?

[Reggie Miller]

70's.......

The 70s was the golden era of HW boxing.

im gonna go with the 70's i think better fighters were made at the right times - lewis bowe and lewis tyson should have happened/happened earlier. in the 70's i think some great fights were made at HW and we might not see another era like that, because of the promotional companies, politicis and fragmented belts.

Only crazy people say 70s they were way less skilled and only a small number of people that are named always which is odd that shows it was limited

70s as the 90s was crap and only held together at all by Holyfield. Tyson did his best work in the 80s, Lewis did more in the 2000s, and Bowe is best known for taking 2 beatings from crap Golota, and binning a belt to avoid Lewis. Even the shell of Holmes and old man Foreman were top 90s guys. They wouldn't be top 50 today. Douglas was better than Tyson, what would he be today? Top 100? The whole 90s was great is based around the early Mike Tyson hype, but once that was proven to be a false dawn, the hype should have died with it, but it never did. Cash in

I can see more 90's guys beating the 70's guys.

70's, 80's, 90's was the last great era's of heavyweight boxing. In terms of skill, fight ability and overall condition of the fighters. It is a myth that the 80's was bad, it was bad in terms of? For the most part there was no superstars Muhammad Ali had retired 'And left a big void', until Mike Tyson appeared. The 90's seemed to be the physical peak of the Heavyweight division, you had a combination of super heavyweights, and classically styled heavyweights 'All of them in condition, unlike today's era'.

I will not vote on the poll, but I would have to say the 70's was the best era. Just like today, it was highly competitive. That is what makes today's Heavyweight division the best in boxing 'The closeness in competition, nobody is miles ahead of the division not even Fury'. That is why there are no super dominate Champions, like in the Kiltschko era.

As we got into the 2000's the culture within the heavyweight division changed. Fighters become less aggressive, fighters in mass began to turn up not in condition. And everyone wanted to be a super heavyweight and duplicate the big man style 'Neglecting other area's of fighting, or not even having the ability in the first place'. Very few fighters today at elite level within the heavyweight division have inside game. Usyk has no inside game, and neither to Anthony Joshua.

Tyson Fury at elite level is the only real complete fighter, he gives it a go in all area's. He is not great in all area's, but he for sure can fight in all area's.
