It's the best since 1990. In 25 years time half of them probably wont make the best of the last 50 years list. There'll forever be a new kid on the blockQuote:

Well, he's better than Cotto. But otherwise, he's on par with Holyfield who was also up and down.Quote:

I'm good with putting Oscar in the top 25 (of his generation), easily.Quote:

I think you can make a case for him being ranked too low. He fought/beat SEVEN of the top 15 on this list. In fact, you could make an argument that he should be ranked above Roy on quality of opposition alone.
Yeah, it's FACT that it's my opinion. ;DQuote:

If it was the past 35 years I would have agreed but I think Bruno squeezes in at top 30 at best.Quote:

I know, I know. The comment is a little 'out there' but I just feel that Bruno of the 90's only did so well by way of guile and guts after his electrifying speed started to fade.Quote:

A bit like Ali; he always found a way to hang on and win.
One of my favourite fights ;D The best part is after Moorer gets KO'd and you can see his corner man dramatically shake his head and yell "DAMN!"Quote:
