    Again, 90s heavyweights are very overrated

    Fat old Foreman, looking like Kownacki, came out from retirement to beat all club fighters, journeymen and fringe condenders, winning a world title against Moorer. By stoppage. Giving a very tough test to Holyfield. He also got robbed to Briggs in a last fight.

    I don`t think Joshua or Fury would have any problem against old Foreman. Young prime Foreman from 70s was different animal.

    So this era is not that bad at all and 90s are overhyped.

    It's not that the 90s was overrated, but Joshua, Wilder, and Fury are underrated

      Lennox boxed in the 90s. He's not overrated. Bowe was solid as well. Holyfield is damn sure not overrated.

        Ugh, you Brits and your crazy theories.

        George Foreman got demolished by Evander Holyfield and Tommy Morrison.

        And Anthony Joshua got demolished by morbidly obese Mexican who's body is far worst than Foremans, and didn't have anywhere near the skill or power that Foreman had. And then spent the entire rematch running from a guy who didn't even train for the fight just to survive and get a decision.

        George Foreman would've decapitated Andy Ruiz in any era, the '70s, the '90s, or now.

        Tyson Fury's the best HW in the world and should've lost to McDermott and got knocked down by a cruiserweight in Steve Cunningham, a guy without any meaningful wins at HW.

        You guys should stick to sports you know, like Rugby or Cricket.

          It wasn't great, that's fir sure.

          The best prospects,Tyson and Golota, imploded.

          Bowe held it together only a little but better, and was an inferior talent.

          Lewis was chinny and gun shy.

          Holyfield was a Cruiserweight, who thanks to HGH and anabolic steroids had the OCCASIONAL good showing.

          Foreman and Holmes were still a thing.




          I wouldn't be surprised if Ruiz and Wallin beat them all.

            This is it , people allways say bad things about current fighters but when they will retire , opinions on them will change ,they will be missed ,nostalgia will hit.

              Moorer who got knocked out by 45 y/0 Foreman beat Holyfield.

              Bowe's career got ended by an Eurobum who wouldn't even be a top 10 HW in this era.

              Mike Tyson got knocked out by a 50-1 underdog.

              Lennox Lewis got knocked out by two average boxers in McCall and Rahman.

              43 y/o Holmes beat Ray Mercer who Lennox Lewis went life and death with to win a split decision.

              Foreman and Holmes were in their 40s in the 90s and were dominant enough to become world champions.

                    Foreman got demolished by a guy who RAN AWAY!?!?!?

                    Well that's a new use of the word I'd never heard before.


                    I always wondered what happened to Bubbles the Chimp, looks like he grew up and moved to Gary, Indiana.
