If Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson, & Foreman are the Top 5 HW's in the 90's, who's #6?

Yea I was debating that too. Morrison well beat foreman but in a pretty bad fight, and that’s really all he ever did, aside from being in a couple fun fights at journeyman level. His losses were real bad. foreman’s win over moorer, valiant effort against Holyfield, and lasting 12 in his other notable fights as well as being unlucky against Briggs, I’d still rank him higher. You could probably wager that most of the guys we’ve named between us would’ve beaten Morrison, certainly could have at least. Just goes to show that when you’ve got a few hws who are really great and some decent contenders, it’s a golden era.

If I had to name a 6th it would be Moorer because he beat Holyfield.

Not one of the main men but I always rated Mercer

Moorer would be my #6 as well. He declined significantly after Evander stopped him in the rematch, but he was a top guy until that point. Mercer and Tim Witherspoon were similar to me because their lack of discipline negated their talent, which was top notch. For my 6-10 I would rank them as:

6. Moorer
7. Morrison
8. McCall
9. Mercer
10. Herbie Hide
