6. 2000s

I'd switch the '80s & the 2010s on your list.

The '80s are underrated because they had a lot of crashouts who were talented, but had drug problems, but at least they had talent.

Witherspoon, Weaver, Dokes

You really just said you think I snorted fent and then proceeded to list Spoon, Weaver, and Dokes as the better alternative to today's competition? If I am snorting fentanyl you are injecting it directly into your veins. FOH with this absolutely abysmal list. Mike Weaver lmao? That man had like 10 loses before he even competed for a belt. All 3 would get smoked by mediocre competition of today.

1. 1990-2000
2. 1970-1979
3. 2000-2009
4. 1980-1989
5. 2010-2019
6. 2020 - 2029 which is only half finshied!

The only thing I proved is that you have no idea what you're talking about. You have a moronic nostalgia bias and sound like a dumbass listing Weaver and Witherspoon. Maybe in the next thread you can argue how Bert Cooper would smoke Tyson Fury.

On the contrary, the HW division of the 1980s and 1990s is highly overrated—mainly because Americans held a near-monopoly on it, as much of the international competition was banned from participating. During the Cold War, boxers from the Soviet Union, Eastern Bloc, Cuba, and other communist-aligned nations could not compete professionally.

Naturally, it appeared stronger at the time. Today, the division is often seen as weaker, but that's largely because it's now dominated by non-American fighters, thanks to larger sponsorships attracting global talent and the dem@cratization of the sport, which was previously restricted in many countries.

Today, many Americans can only seethe and cope by claiming that all their best athletic talent goes to the NBA or NFL. But that argument falls apart when you look at the highest-paid athletes in the world. (Tyson Fury is one of them, by the way), and especially when you consider the current stars of the NBA: Giannis, Jokić, Luka, and others...

The 90's had a lot of talent. But you do have a point.

Boxing saw the early Eastern Euro crossovers in boxing in the mid 1990's. Ever since the Eastern Euros have done well.
