    Has There Ever Been A Decade With More HOF HW's Than the 2000's?

    Were the 2000's the golden age of HW's? Here is a list of surefire HOF'ers who competed in the 2000's, what decade had more?

    Tyson
    Lewis
    Bowe
    Holyfield
    James Toney
    Holmes
    wlad
    Vitali
    Roy Jones

    That is 9 surefire HOFers all fought in the 2000's. Has there ever been a decade with so many? This is also leaving off anyone who might not make the hall, but could also make it like Chris Byrd for example.

      Most of the fighters you listed did their most impressive work in the 90s and/or in a different weight class.

      The exceptions are the K brothers.

            I would call NONE of them a genuine Hall of Famer for the 2000's based on their records since 2001, except ONE, and that (but not as a Heavyweight) for the 2000's is Roy Jones, with 6 successful Lt.Heavyweight title defences.

            Toney has no HOF Heavyweight credentials at all. And the records of the others for the
            2000's as Heavyweights, are all pretty poor, not at all HOF worthy. The records of Lewis and Tyson were especially poor, had less than a single handful of fights each, both were KO'd, and otherwise fought washed up opponents also. Holyfield fought much more in the 2000's but with 4 losses to reigning World Champions and a draw, as well as many losses against much lesser opposition, he is not HOF worthy for the 2000's.

            This is not to say that they may be not be HOF worthy in other decades, and perhaps in other weights.

            Just being specific according to the topic.

              I apologise for excluding both Klitschkos who, of course have had and are still having HOF heavyweight careers.

                I could easily have misread the topic also, as a re-reading makes it seem to me that their Heavyweight HOF credentials need not have been in the 2000's, but just that they fought then, regardless of their standard level then, and I assume, even one fight in the 2000's would quailify. I regard the 2000's as beginning on Jan 1st 2001.

                If so, the ALL would be HOF worthy.
