    Chronology Of 90’s Boxing Pound For Pound Number One Race

    https://********/1MqTBsHMGKM

    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!

        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.

                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.
