Heavyweights now vs Heavyweights in the 90s

[Zelda]

What made the 90s boxing much more exciting was that even if you were fighting the No. 6 or No. 8 guy, it was still competitive and exciting.

[Cutthroat]

That I can answer easily...NO!

Unless hanging means competing and loosing. Ali would make a Foreman out of AJ and a Liston out of Wilder. Fury will end up, at best, like Jimmy Young.

Foreman-Ali took place in 100 degree weather with 90% humidity, plus Ali ****ed with Foreman badly before the fight even started. Replay that fight in America and Foreman bulldozes him.

I'd like to see Fury vs Lewis, AJ vs Bowe and Wilder vs Tua or Mercer

Fury would be the toughest matchup for those guys because of his height and boxing skills. As long as Fury could avoid the left hook for 12 rounds he would beat Tua and Morrison 12-0.

Ali has been knocked down in his career. But he got up quicker than he went down. Never, ever did he struggle against tough, hard-hitting boxers. Nor did he got up on wobbly legs.

Frazier landed a few times, Foreman hit him repeatedly, Shavers rocked him, Norton got his shots through, Lyle's punches were hard...but none did enough damage to trouble him.

Even when Ali was way past his prime, came out of retirement, wasn't even in great shape or training hard, and fought young heavyweights (Holmes and Spinks), they won on points and not by KO. And

Muhammad Ali was a very ill man, while fighting Holmes and still he could not be stopped. 'That was frightening but sad performance'.

Honestly i see Joshua Wilder and Fury being top 10 Lewis Tyson and Bowe beat all 3 and maybe Holyfield (his only fight i could see him possibly loseing is Fury) but the rest could be beaten
I dont see Tomy Morrison beating any of 3 he gives them tough fights but losses to all same with David Tua maybe he beats Wilder but i comes diwn who can take whos punch the best.
Ike can beat them maybe thoe i can see Fury out boxing him.

Ruddock, Mercer lose tough fights Golota has zero heart so i dont see him beat either.
Todays heavyweights are actually pretty good fighters and are dangerous for any era honestly even Ortiz and Whyte could possible be top 10 in 90s era

You did not read the post, just the list.

Why did you number them?

You know when you do that, it appears that you're ranking them, right?
