My condolences. I was a teen in the 90s and my dad and I would watch every fight we could watch from USA Tuesday Night Fights to the first HBO Boxing After Dark with Barrera vs McKinney. I would rather stay home and watch fights with my dad then go out with my friends. Great memories. He also passed away summer of 2018. Those were good times, I miss him dearly. Love you dad.

It brings tears to my eyes know how much we enjoyed watching those fights with family and friends.

Yeah I was born in 76. I think every generation feels that way , but it's always hard to see what's so great about other eras..I loved the 80s and I swear right around early 2000s the world went to shit ! Total shit. I was recently at work and some younger guys were talking about how awesome the 2000s were and how horrible the 2010s were ?! They talked about 2000s like I talked about the 80s and early 90s , it was just a surprise..I think the subject was pro wrestling then music and I interrupted to tell them "no you didn't imagine anything music got even worse and yeah wrestling peaked early 2000s then went south real fast" and to my surprise they actually loved 2000s music ? Im like "what music" and they say hip hop and metal mostly ? Lol I'm telling them 90s was a hip hop goldmine 1000% better than anything since and they looked at me like I was nuts! Lol it actually gave me a complex as I felt like the "old guy" all the sudden. I'm like "2-Pac, Biggie, DMX, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z (even though he peaked in 2000s) , Nas literally tons of great rappers and they give me this dumb look and one guy says "DMX sucks....and Biggie wasn't that good...neither was 2-Pac" and I paused for a sec about to unload on this dude and it occurred to me that I had the exact same debates with my dad growing up. I remember telling him "Metallica is better than Zeppelin" and also that "Pink Floyd sucks dad. No one listens to them anymore" lol I meant it too..but thank God I eventually gave them a real chance instead of just skimming thru some albums since it wasn't my "cup of tea" at the time ! Bro I even remember having an argument with my dad *(this is really bad)* cause I actually told him *Hulk Hogan could beat Mike Tyson in a real fight* ??? Lol I always thought as you got older you become more narrow minded but for me I *still* try to find good music with little luck. They'll grow up and talk about how great the 2010s-2020s were "remember we all had off for almost 1 1/2 years !! No school ! We all thought after Christmas break back to the grind like normal ?!! Who tf would've guessed that we wouldn't be back in school until the following Sept like 20 months later!!" Lol

8:32 - "Mercer's menacing display of power" during the Morrison fight was just as much a staggering display of referee incompetence. Tommy was caught on the chin by a left and knocked completely unconscious before being forced to endure NINE full-on, tee-off face punches before he was given the courtesy of a stoppage. An eight count after the first or second one is the norm and would have been nice. Coincidentally, Tommy was a very courteous boxer in this regard. As far as I remember, when he saw an opponent take a punch and go limp he was very quick to stop the attack and retreat to his corner.

how surprised i am to see your comment here :D enjoying your channel and humour a lot . :D who you want to win in Wilder vs Fury rematch ? and do you think draw was the right decision the first time they faced each other. I am new fight fan myself and found this video very good history lesson . P.S. not sure if u are aware of MixedMollyWhoppery channel , its about MMA mostly, but the guy is sooo funny and i just cant stop spreading the word of mouth about him . All the best Doc!

Damn This was a pleasure to watch. I grew up in the 90's and the heavyweight division was no joke the golden years of boxing. This was really cool! Learned stuff I didn't know and got to watch why it was called the Golden era of boxing. Thanks man!
@tommack86504 роки тому
The 90s were great for the HW division, but I remember watching Ali, Frazier, and Foreman as a kid. Maybe because I was young, but those are 3 of the greatest and fought at the same time period. The 70s will always be my golden years 👍
@stonehorn46414 роки тому
I think the 70’s were the golden age too. The 80’s were the most exciting. If you weren’t alive for the rise of tyson, its hard to understand what a sensation he was. 90’s were amazing. The 2000’s were the “Boring Age”. The Klitchko’s were like sleeping pills, I loved seeing Fury beat Vlad and end the most boring reign in boxing history. Jab and hold, jab and hold, for almost a decade. The last 5 years have been great though. Im glad Fury also showed how outclassed Wilder is if you make him box too! Wilder has always been extremely overrated, he fought tomato cans for most of his career. I think any true boxer, like Joshua or Fury, could beat him easily now that its been shown just how clumsy and how little real skill Wilder has. He’s got a right hand, thats it.

It was huge when Foreman took back the title at 45. He was already a top 10 heavyweight of all time, that definitely put him in the running for top 5 arguably.

Jay Eisenhardt it wasn't jus a miracle it was a gift from God Allah shit Moses and Santa helped Ali too he was gettin pummeled the whole fight but Foreman gassed out and Ali took that gift and capitalized on it and also sold the whole world on that rope a dope bullshit. He ain't plan that shit he jus ain't want that smoke and hugged and hid. Horrible fight and strategic move. Instead of rope a dope call that future Parkinson's dope or hope I don't die fuckin with this monster hide on the ropes... I guess they don't roll off the tounge as nicely but more accurate imo

And this was just the Heavyweight division, the other classes were just as exciting during this decade.

So glad I grew up in this era. Boxers actually fought each other for the sport. No twitter talk, no wrong side of the street talk, no easy route talk, no waiting in line for one fighter for a payday, no social media clout, no drama, and so on…..we had something to look forward to back then. These days are long gone…..crazy man…

@calebcompton91203 роки тому
Golota had alot of problems actually. He did time in prison in his home country for killing someone in a street fight. I remember when he quit against Mike Tyson. I was so pissed off because i ordered the pay per view, it was supposed to be an amazing fight. Instead, Tyson hit him so hard that he broke his orbital bone in his face, causing Golota to quit in the third round i think. Lou Duva was screaming in his face "get the fuck back out there, you'll disgrace yourself", trying to shove his mouth piece back in. Tyson was furious, the audience was furious, throwing beer and food at him as he left the ring. His career never really recovered after that. Pretty sad
@tswrench3 роки тому
@@calebcompton9120 -- I'm no Golota fan, but fighting with a broken orbital bone is the same as fighting with one eye. Golota's injuries from that fight were more extensive than just the orbital bone--he was hospitalized with a concussion, and a neck injury too. If you're going to "quit" in a fight, that would be time to do it.

@per aspera ad astra ¿ ok for one you are severely underrating the depth of the 90's. You mentioned Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield but failed to mention Bowe who on his best night could give any heavyweight in history all they could handle. Funny you would use Frazier as the measuring cuz I believe all 4 of those guys beat Frazier. He woulda been too small for Bowe and Lewis, Holy could possibly outwork him tho that woulda been a war, and he'd be fighting fire with fire against Tyson. Also you overrate Foreman's performance at that stage. Yes he overachieved in his fight against Holy, but he still got pummeled. Then he was outclassed by Tommy Morrison of all people who wasn't known for his boxing skill. Then he's beaten from pillar to post by Moorer for 9 1/2 rounds until he was able to land that right hand cuz Moorer was dumb enough to stand right in front of him. Then he gets a gift against Axel Schultz, goes the distance with Crawford Grimsley???? I mean it says alot that while he was lineal champion, ring magazine had him rated the 6th best heavyweight in '95.
