The Lost Generation Of 80's Heavyweight's vs The Heavyweights Of Today.

[jdonaher1]

The 70's era Heavy's were the best in history but the 90's were probably the 2nd best. Other than Larry Holmes who is an all-time great the 80's fighters were a horrible bunch. Face it - Tyson never beat anything but a bunch of B- fighters during his rein but the heavy's are alsmost always a bad lot.

I agree on Witherspoon, he was the best of a bad lot and could have been a really good champ. His problem was spending all his energy fighting Don King outside the ring.

Don't forget drug use.
