Oh, yes, the great "90s", Lewis who proved himself in 1999! Hardly the 90s. Tyson who did his best work blasting away bums in the 80s!, Bowe who had 1 great year, then binned his belt to avoid a beating and got battered around a ring twice by a Polish journeyman. Holyfield... Okay, I'll accept Holyfield as a true 90! Great! I guess the view is always better when looking at it through nostalgic glasses! Nash out is a wise man who constantly teaches others about boxing history.

First of all, the nineties is not ready for a historical look yet. Fighters like Golota did much more in the ring than Fighters like pulov... watch tape. Tyson was wonderful... so? Yeah hollyfield lol, and lewis... late nineties is nineties.

You have all threse prospects waiting... sure covid is a problem but problems are problems all the same. And the division is shiat right now.

How is it weak with 4 gold medal Olympic champions ,a few olympians in general ( even Povetkin who just retired ) who medaled and several national champions competing in the same era ?

It’s actually 5 if Joyce gets the justice and gets the decision over turned he clearly was robbed of and it would be 6 if Klitschko came back .but I bet you would say he’s to old even though your other argument was never count out old guys like Ortiz ? Ha

Wasn't Ortiz quite the Olympian? Amateur style been lampooned since mid 1800s lol.

Oh oh! More excuses for loses? Go on... you and Nash are laughable. He gets it right a lot more then you do.

What I do regarding age is very simple... I wait and see how the fighter prepares and does.. if you did likewise you wouldn't get everything wrong lol. BTW who has beat Ortiz? Look it up if you can read... something to think about...

There is no greater lesser competition. There are some marqhe Fighters, prospects and everyone else... dummy lol.

Pretty sure tyson fought quite a lot in the 90s

You're running around saying Mike tyson didn't exist in the 90s and that fights in 1999 dont count as the 90s.
You're calling people morons and to go and buy myself a brain??

Please tell me where you bought your brain so I know where not to go

He bought it from redeemer and it was labeled "abi normal."

EXCUSE! Guys like you try to say 90s is a great 10 years of HW boxing, yet I call out the facts and you dance around it. Speaks volumes. Golota is about as good as Dave Allen if that, fact. Tyson was a B/C LEVEL DOMESTIC FIGHTER, who did f all in the 90s. I'd call Tyson vs David Price as a 50-50, and Price is maybe top 50? That's all Tyson would be now. I remember when he was unbeaten and hyped, a commentator mentioned that he is not really a power puncher, and he was right, he isn't. 7/10 power and that is his gift. powder puff at world level

How do you determine "how good" a fighter is Nash? Do you watch tape and look at the things they are capable of doing? Tyson versus Price... don't troll me boy!! And don't bring me into your irrational feelings about Tyson. Tyson may have been hyped irrationally but he had skills one could point to on tape. I mean was Tyson irrationally hyped to a degree? Yeah Ill grant you that... but your downright pathological to suggest that Price would do anything but fall if Tyson looked at him funny. Price is a decent plumber and would do a job on Mike's pipes for sure...

Hmm. Why didn't Haye call out Briggs?

[N!Ck F.]

Lewis turned pro in 1989 and retired in 2003...did u just actually say he didn’t prove himself until 1999?
You absolute casual. Literally makes no sense.
1990’s heavyweights was a TOUGH era. Some outstanding fighters fought in that decade....Rid**** Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Ray Mercer, George Foreman, Michael Moorer, Larry Holmes..
...plus a ton of tough fighters like David Tua, Oleg Maskaev, Oliver McCall, Hasim Rahman, Frank Bruno, Donovan Ruddock, Tony Tucker, Tommy Morrison, Ike Ibeabuchi, Corey Sanders.

Nash, u don’t Know **** about boxing.

Funny thing is Joe Fournier was (is?) signed to Hayemaker Promotions. He was an entrepreneur now turned boxer with a 9-0 record, 9KO's. He'll probably KO Haye. Silva should pick up an easy win over Ortiz. Silva will likely be in even better shape by September than he was against Jr and Ortiz is probably in horrible shape and can't box. And Oscar is going to taste the canvas and quit...and then make elaborate excuses.

I see what's going on...Joe Fournier called out Jake Paul. Manager Haye steps in and loses to Fournier, making him more credible and setting up the Jake Paul event, so Haye can profit off of it. Boxing is such a circus.

The upcoming Triller pay-per-view card, scheduled for September 11 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, is receiving several undercard additions. The main event will feature the return of six division world champion Oscar De La Hoya, who faces former UFC champion Vitor Belfort in a sanctioned boxing match.

And to be clear, Haye v Fournier is a pro match not an exhibition.
