    Who was the Fighter of the 90's???

    There was Ali in the 70's and Sugar Ray Leonard in the early 80's then Tyson in the Late 80's. Who was the superstar in the 90's.

    Roy Jones was the best fighter in that era but he wasnt loved by the fans like Ali, Tyson and Leonard were.So was the superstar of the 90's in boxing?

    I really don't think there was one!

    Evander Holyfield would be a good candidate though.

    In Britain I'd say it was Chris Eubank, without a doubt.

        I would say Holyfield...he picked up in the early 90's where Tyson left off and ended in the late 90's where Lewis picked up...so he had the better part of the HW picture in terms of name for the better part of the 90s

          I would have thought since he lost the trilogy with Bowe that would scratch him out.

            That might have something to do with the fact he didn't fight in America But he was the superstar of British boxing, without a doubt.

              Whitaker was the best fighter of the 90's.

              The superstar of the 90's ? Oscar DeLaHoya.

                Eubank says that Pernell Whitaker was better that Roy Jones, I agree with him.

                  I would go with Roy Jones, followed by De La Hoya
