Man I miss the 90s.... nowadays the only time we get a glimpse of the 90s is when reed takes an iq test

 

Ricardo López
Pernell Whitaker
Yuri Arbachakov
Mark Johnson
Orlando Canizales
Roy Jones Jr
Felix Trinidad
Johnny Tapia

 

Have to say Hamed and Lewis as they were the two that got me into the sport to begin with.

 

Dave hilton :(

 

Evander holyfield
Marcellus Johnson
Ike quartey
Shane mosley
Julian Jackson
Winky Wright
Veerapol sahaprom

 

They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

 

If by 90s fighters we define them as guys who peaked in the 90s, then I can't include Jackson because Jackson's peak was the late 80s, like 87-89. My favorite true 90s fighters:

Roy
Toney
Tito
Whitaker
Too Sharp
Mosley

 

ODH
Trinidad
Lewis
Nunn
Toney
Golota
McCallum

 

Nunn and McCallum are two guys I consider more 80s fighters, but that's just me.

 

Bob Fitzsimmons
Joe Gans
Peter Maher
Kid McCoy
Peter Jackson

 

Toney & Pernel

 

90s fighters who I probably rewatch the most nowadays are Toney, Tito, RJJ, Holyfield.

JCC
Holyfield
MAB (I became more of a Morales fan after their first fight)
Morales
Carlos "Bolillo" Gonzalez

 

I was never a fan of Evander. Maybe because Tyson got me into watching boxing.

My favorites of the 90s

Dlh
Trinidad
Morales
Corrales
Gatti
Rafa Marquez

 

Roy, Johnny Tapia,Calzaghe, those guys

 

Joe Slapzaghe had fans ?
Tapia another slapper.

 

In the 1990s I don't know any better
....I thought Danny Romero was a good fighter..... I thought Romero Vs Tapia was a huge fight, meaningful, historical. Looking back it was just a massive local bout.

 

I don't care for Tapia, but he wasn't a slapper.

 

Always surprised me how some could love that slapping coward. Was a moderate fan at the beggining, but his shameless ducking had me always rooting against him

 

Come on, Slapia was right there.

 

Cross town rivals. It was as meaningful historically as perhaps Dela Hoya vs Genaro Hernandez. Both from east LA ect.

 

I was the opposite. I went from a hater to a fan. I liked the way he took over fights. Kessler-Calzaghe, RJJ-Calzaghe & Hopkins-Calzaghe. The first halves of those fights were competitive. The second halves, not so much. They couldn't do shit to Calzaghe down the stretch.

 

Calzaghe a ducker?

 

I was perplexed too. Carl Froch might have a case at the ass end of Calzaghe's career.

 

There was a good 5+ year stretch between beating an aging Eubanks for his wbogus belt and facing another live body

Let's face it, he would have shelled up vs Jones jr in the late 90s

 

That doesn't mean he was ducking anyone. He had repeated injuries and was making good money for Warren so he was badly promoted.

Neil picks a hypothetical of Jones shelling up against the GOAT of 94-04 as proof that Calzaghe was ducking.

Weak .
