How Would You Rate the Heavyweight Boxing Eras From 1970 - Present

[BirdSong]

everyone has rose tinted glassess and think yesteryears heavies can do 15 rounds on mcdonalds all day its all an illusion

Foreman was 70’s, Spinks beat an old Holmes and that’s it then got sparked by Tyson in the 1st round. The other two were equivalent to Derek chisora.

Where were you when George had his resurrection !
They would all decimate these goons parading around as HWs.
Usyk, Fury
Maybe AJ
Will be the only HOFers from this era.

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.

Almost half of Rings current HW top 10 is made up of fighters from a single country that has a fifth of Americas population and typically around 50 active pro HWs. Usyk has faced fighters exclusively from this one country for the past 5 years too.

So global.

- 20s Usyk goat
- 00 K Brothers + Lewis
- 10s K Brothers + Fury
- 90s Andy Ruiz > Michael Moorer
- 70, 80s Luis Ortiz and Frankie Sanchez would be boogeyman in this era
