    Who do people overrate boxers from the 90s?

    Nostalgia is a disease and I doubt most of these numbnuts have actually sat down to watch fights from the 90s again. Imagine people think Ruddock who was on the same PED diet as Ben Johnson, Tua who had no defence and was juiced to the gill, and Frank Bruno would dominate this era, lol. Some idiot even said Bruno is better than AJ, loooooooooooooool.

    Stop smoking crack, crack is wack. Go watch those fights again. Those boxers were just durable due to the prevalence of PED use back then, hence the fights were fun because they took punishment and returned it. However, most of them weren’t that skilled and this era is far better.

    Joe Calzaghe was an offensive genius.

        If you go to the Ring's website and look at the current top 10 Heavy's...4 out of 10 have positive drug tests to their name. So it makes no sense to center your rant around PED usage.

        Objectively, Top Heavys from the 80's/90's were generally more fundamentally skilled and technically sound as well as better athletes than most top Heavys today.

        Of course you have to analyze this on a comparative case by case basis...but generally speaking, Heavys from that era and beyond were superior in most facets of boxing.

        And yes, Bruno was OBJECTIVELY better than AJ.

            Even Wilder who's a terrible boxer and the weakest link in the top-5 today would knock him out in 2 rds max.

                That's because the testing is very tough today and they're not even taking the concentrated PEDs boxers from the 90s were taking. Those guys were taking HGH, steroids, EPOs and everything available.

                LMAO at Bruno. Bruno on his best day isn't fit to clean AJ's shoes and even Bruno would tell you that. It just shows you're an idiot who knows next to nothing about boxing. Don't ever put the two in the same sentence - Bruno was awful.
