Going by the Ring year end rankings;

1990 - Julio Cesar Chavez

1991 - Julio Cesar Chavez

1992 - Julio Cesar Chavez

1993 - Pernell Whittaker

1994 - Pernell Whittaker

1995 - Pernell Whittaker

1996 - Roy Jones Jr

1997 - Oscar De La Hoy

1998 - Oscar De La Hoya

1999 - Roy Jones Jr.

Who do you think was the fighter of the 90’s?

I thought Whittaker would be most likely to win on any given day but many of his fights were snoozers.

Roy Jones had the most inspiration but he struck me as unreliable.

Wouldn't this thread be better served in the history section? 1990 was 30 years ago!

Why cut so deep man? why?

[Dip_Slide]

The 90s belonged to Roy Jones and Pernell Whitaker. Oscar was a tremendous fighter but he wasn't deserving of the #1 spot. I give #1 FOTD to Roy Jones and Pernell is a very close second.

Oscar or Roy but Roy didn’t have that star power like Oscar did and Oscars resumes was better.

I would have said Oscar.

thee was nothing unreliable about Jones in the 90's

thee was nothing unreliable about Jones in the 90's

Nothing?

So the Montell Griffin DQ was all part of the plan?

Nothing?

So the Montell Griffin DQ was all part of the plan?

in light of his other achievements during that decade, and considering his momentum... not sure if you could call that unreliable?

he certainly did not look unreliable in the rematch

He looked spectacular in the Griffin rematch.

I’d also say he looked weird in the Mike McCallum fight. Went to the ropes and lost early rounds.

On the HBO version Lampley and Merchant were saying that was all part of the plan and he wanted to let McCallum go the distance. Foreman was saying he didn’t think Jones wanted to let him finish at all.

I thought he showed a potential to let a decision slip away from him the Griffin and McCallum fights. If things had lined up slightly differently and he’d fought a prime Michael Nunn a few years before he came into his prime I think there was a serious chance he would have been outpointed on the judges cards.
