Foreman almost made it to the 2000s ranked in the top 10, this guy was fighting in the 1960s!!!
Respect!
p0kerVik1N67 eh I can’t put him above Ali or Joe Louis but he’s definitely one of the best ever!
@@pKerViKNG I agree.
MANCHESTER UNITED ok grass fairy 🧚♀️
Foreman is my favorite :)
I was in my 20's in the 90's, and spent a lot of time watching these fights with my dad as we are both big boxing fans, especially heavy weight fans. My dad passed away last summer, and this video brought back all of those amazing memories with my dad. Thank you!
my condolence my brother, I wish we all have good times with our fathers
wow just read this ,exactly what i had, i can relate very much i turned 22 in 1990 my dad and i both loved boxing and watched many great fights together great times , he passed away 2 months ago .
Nice one bro. Good thing u had something good to remember. May ur pa rip
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.
@@marcoslaureano5562 ahhh Tuesday night fights and Ballroom Boxing was the shit. High impact bouts on regular tv. We didnt always need ppv back then. It brings tears to my eyes know how much we enjoyed watching those fights with family and friends. I was only able to stay up late on a school night because I was watching either wrestling or boxing with my grams and uncle. Mom was strict, but on those nights, she gave me breathing room, as long as I didnt complain the next morning 😂😂😂🥊🥊🍻
This is legit the 4th or 5th time I've watched this and it's honestly far and above the best produced boxing content for this era anywhere on the planet. So good.
We NEED a 2000s doc Rummy!
@@B0BBYFL4SH I'm sure there is one man.
Rc and officialhancho boxing is really good
Same here!!
@@B0BBYFL4SH yes does anyone know of one for the 2000s
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the genius of Big George Foreman? Regaining the title two decades after losing it. Who does that?
Nobody, unless your name is George Foreman !!!
He cuddly!
Only a fighter from that era my guy , George was a freak
@@letsseethatsmile9620 All of us
It’s pretty crazy. Recently we got to see Tyson fight which was insane tho not even close. But still I told my kids I never ever would have thought we’d see Tyson get in shape and fight again
I'm lost for words for how impressed I am by the quality and sheer time it took to create such a fantastic video. Bravo!
Agree, this was great! Would really enjoy seeing it continue into the next decade (and, would watch one for the 80's, too!).
dugroz The 4 Kings saga would be incredible.
Rummy doesn’t get enough credit, his work is incredible.
Absolutely - can’t get better than that! My favorite boxing channel.
Well said
the amount of power foreman brought without even putting his body into those shots is amazing
a true unit
Foreman says Shavers or Lyle were the hardest hitters but I firmly believe it was Foreman. George has crazy strength.
His arm weighed about 180lbs ffs 😂😂
Shavers might have hit harder than Foreman but Foreman was a better and more powerful fighter if that makes any sense. Liston is in the conversation for hardest puncher too.

I was a teenager in the 1990’s and I followed boxing but I didn’t realize that I was witnessing one of the greatest era’s in heavyweight boxing history . Boxing is so much more compelling with a deep heavyweight division . Glad I was alive to witness it .
Yup 90s and this era are great. 70s was good too but gets overrated as many guys were really cruiserweights and no Cubans or soviets participated.
Yes I call it the Silver era, 70s being Gold, and both had George Foreman as Champ that is crazy !!!
Man, so was I! My friends and I stayed broke. We'd pool our money and watch every PPV that we could afford. I remember watching Douglas KO Tyson and Mercer almost kill (figuratively) Morrison. That was when Lennox had short hair and Evander actually had hair. Pro heavyweight boxing during that era was exciting and memorable.
@@larrythorn6265 your not funny, today’s heavyweight division is laughable in comparison 🤦♂️
@@robras2850 we’re in a decent era of heavyweights right now. What’s up your ass?
Damn the ninties heavy weight division was so good.
Hell Yea!!!! Not to mention we had Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Camacho, and my favorite Manos De Piedra. The 90s was popping.
Andrew Golotta was such a great fighter, he could've gone so much further if it wasn't for his hatred of Riddick Bowe's ballsack.
Matthew Tonnet “I coulda been a contenda!!”
He was useless
He is son of bitch
He had talent but he was a bag basher
😂😂😂😂😂
90s were a time to be a fan of everything! Boxing, Wrestling, Hip-Hop, Comedians, The Simpsons, etc.!
punk rock...
'90s episodes of The Simpsons are still the high point of TV in my opinion. It's a shame the quality of the show dropped so much in the '00s. I haven't watched the show regularly for about 15 years..
maybe not comedians comedy movies yeah but stand up ??? ohh wait def comedy jam yeah that was awesome
Don't forget 90's cartoons and kids shows..Esp. Nickelodeon
Revolver stand up now is becoming to pc
Never knew I needed this in my life
Yo! Hope life is treating you well bro. Never thought I'd see you on a boxing video. I've been a fan since I saw you auditioned! All the best and thank you for the laughs.
Welcome to the hardcore boxing scene. The more you dig the better it becomes 👍
Greatest Sport. Greatest Division
Dang preacher I was just watching your videos 💀what a trip lmao
For real! Such a great watch though!
This is the single best boxing video on RUclips imo, watched it more than once gives you a real feel of the scene that I was too young to witness. Very entertaining and informative, wish rummy would do another one of this type.
INCREDIBLE, I just hope the maker of this video understands his work isn't unappreciated, it's fantastic, for casual or non causal boxing fans, this is fantastic.
So TRUE. I want his PayPal to send him £5 or even £10 for this honestly !! I would pay for this documentary. Amazing play.
I clicked on the video thinking i would watch a short video. And literally just finished the entire thing after 1 hour!! So well made and informative. Such great content and phenomenal narration! A++
*1:02:56*
Wow now I just realize that .one hour wow
This is the best Boxing Documentary I have ever seen. I started watching and following boxing in the late 80's. I'm 43 years old now, so I remember watching pretty much all of these fights live with my Dad. Great stuff Rummy this was Amazing!!!!!
The McCall Lewis rematch was so messed up. As someone who turned 15 in 1990 I watched a lotall of these fights with my dad, at home or in the pub. I know it's a massive nostalgia trip but the 90's felt like what the 60's & 70's my dad told me about. In boxing, music & life. It's probably me just getting old!
90s was the last great era in everyting man
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
@@mkpm1304 at least you Cana smith that it’s a generational thing, a lot of old heads are hard headed and simply refuse to believe that anybody could enjoy any other era other than the one when the old head was young. It’s really about you being young and enjoying your youth. That’s what it’s really about it’s nit about which era was better because every era had shitty things and good things.
@@mkpm1304 funny stuff bro, just yesterday I had a guy tell me that there hasn’t been any good new music since the Ramones started dying off and broke up! That guy was my youngest son, he is in his mid 40s! LMAO! And I thought I was an OG!
@@m-cra1370 The truth is every generation things the things of their youth is the best. That's kind of how humans are designed. The things the remind us of the best times in our lives (for most people that's their younger years), are what they think of most fondly.
This is the most comprehensive take on a decade I've ever seen, regardless of subject matter. You sir, are a madman and it's brilliant.
This is one of the greatest documentaries I've ever watched! I'm a little disappointed that this isn't a series. I would've loved to see one for other weight classes and decades.
For sure 80s Middle Weight/ Welter Weight would be awesome
Fantastic account of the 90s decade. It’s amazing to think how Tyson unified those belts so early on in his career and then it took 10 years to be then be unified again. 👊🏽
Tyson was one of a kind. People say 80s fighters sucked yet Larry Holmes, Jesse Ferguson, Tony Tucker, Frank Bruno and many more made a comeback in the 90s to fight the greats like Evander, Lewis, Mercer and others. Tyson Blew through the 80s fighters like nothing though.
@@thediaz07 he got his butt kicked by douglas who was an 80s fighter ,tyson barely beat a retiring james quick tillis and could do nothing vs bonecrusher smith or mitch greene, he was good agasint out of shape old fighters and nobodies. soons as he faced anyone who wanted to fight like tillis or douglas he looked ordinary.
@simon james If you watched the Douglas fight you would see that he was off in that fight.
@@thediaz07Tyson was an icon but his resume was beating on those flat tires
I absolutely LOVE this channel! This is one of my favorite videos. My mother introduced me to boxing when I was young and I'm sharing this channel with her! Great stuff, Rummy!
Easily one of the best boxing documentaries I've ever seen. Excellent job Rummy.
The combination Goloata put on Bowe's nuts in the second fight was viscous!!!
That's because golota was a dirty fighter
Golota might be biggest wasted talent in hw-history just because wiring in his head was total mess.
It's like he got into boxing just so he could punch Riddick Bowe in the nuts repeatedly
😂😂😂😂😂
@Jemal Rankin 😂😂😂😂😂
Peter McNeeley: "hey Mike that was a great fight, thanks for giving me permanent brain damage" Mike tyson: "Yeh that's ok Pete, any time"😂😂😂
Stop telling lies lad
This was amazing...great break down of every heavyweight fight of the whole decade I mean who could be disappointed with this video...the history of the 90s and all the shifts in boxing this was an absolute pleasure to watch Thank you!!!
This is the best boxing video I've seen this year.
best boxing video I've seen of any year
Best boxing video i've seen the past hour
mailboy79 YET IF YOU WATCH THE MATCH BETWEEN TYSON AND BUSTER BUSTER GOT KNOCKED DOWN AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A 13 COUNT
Boxing legends look him up
I have watched this at least 5 times, and Rummy, this is TILL THIS DAY, the best 90s boxing video on youtube. Please keep up the excellent work!
The guy is awesome
Yup, I'd say beyond RUclips, this is the best accounting of the 90s Heavyweight division in chronological order, ever.
the amount of power foreman brought without even putting his body into those shots is amazing
Mr. Rummy this is truly great stuff as always but this one specifically. I can't count how many times I've watched. It is therapeutic at this point. Thank you very much. Very Respectfully if you ever get the time and an urge please keep rolling and do 2000-2010 and or 80-89. Thanks again for all your work.
I was really surprise by Andrew Golota I haven't really heard about him before but he seemed to be a high caliber boxer that could have reached higher accomplishments however he was crazy and pulled unneeded stunts that ostracized his advancement
Golota was, simply put, a punk of the highest order. I wanted very badly to see a serious, professional effort from him, but he just didn't have the strength of character nor the moral integrity to pull it off. He absolutely made his fans shrink away in shame every time he stepped into the ring.
I grew up watching Golata. He had nearly everything he needed to be champion. He missed a key ingredient. HEART! he had none. Its crazy. He should have been something. Somthing was wrong with him in the head.
@Thou Swell It's easy for someone to say that when they never stepped in the ring with some of the best in the world..
I saw the Golota - Bowe fights and he was giving Bowe a beating in both. Like you said, he was nuts.
he was paid to do the low blow sht... Basically taking a dive. BOXING is CORRUPT as FK..
One of the great videos ever produced of any sport's history. Well done.
Amazing documentary. Wish you made a 2000’s and 2010’s.
Welter weight tho
It would just be Klitschko lol.
@M Bryant Tyson Fury is a good fighter tho.
@M Bryant I can tell u not a real boxing fan, heavyweight boxing is finally becoming good again, the 2000s were the boring era, the surge of fury, wilder and Joshua has revitalized the division and real boxing fans are excited about the prospect of a new undisputed heavyweight champion for the first time since lennox lewis
2000's will be all Klitschko Bros. I still can't believe Vitaly is a mayor of our Kyiv now.
Thanks to this video, it really inspired me to watch all these matches. I made a playlist with all these matches and other important matches. Even doing other decades. Thank you for this video, it’s phenomenal.
the '90s for me was the most exciting decade not just for boxing but everything. Thanks, Rummy love your channel.
Lewis and Holyfield didn't avoid fights which is why I loved them!
Lewis avoided Chris Byrd and John Ruiz and he also avoided Tyson. Do your research. That's why he lost the WBA and IBF Holyfield and Tyson never dropped there titles and avoided fighters
@@therealdeal8277 Tyson avoided Lewis. Didn't you watch the video 😅
Didnt Holyfield avoid Razor Ruddock?
@@therealdeal8277 Byrd and Ruiz hahaha, Those two fighters were crap, Ruiz got schooled by jones jnr hahahaha, and Tyson paid Lennox $6 million not to fight him for the WBC title in 1996.. you Tyson fanboys are fucking hilarious.
@@therealdeal8277 lmao Ruiz is a joke and Byrd was boring no one wanted to see that shit

Rest In Peace:

Carl Williams (1959-2013)
Prinz Tiyo Dont forget Tommy Morrison
@Jimmy Crackcorn watch dokes vs mike weaver
Why do no one talking about Tommy morisson dont play tuff the best at that time in the heavyweight division is tommy morisson and mike tyson end of the talk!
@@jonathanlovgren7992 what?
@@cybercuckclips2311 no one is talking about Tommy morrison i feel bad when people talk about some of the greatest boxers in the 1990s no one mention Tommy morrison he deserved it
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this one and the one about all time lineal heavyweight championship. Really well done, especially explaining some of the absurdities that happened in boxing during the 1990’s.
To think George foreman was competing against these ..20 years after losing to m. Ali on the ropes .. Yep he was a GIANT in the ring ?!!!
Yeah, i mean, the dude started out in the 60's and was clashing with titans during the 90's, he's a true gladiator.
God helped him man
Helluva nice guy. Lucky enough to briefly meet him. Class man. Gracious.
Cheating fury would have just been another bum in this era.
@@bohanabo230 stop crying 😂
now that was boxing , imagine if wed get to see all the matchups between the current heavyweights that would be so dope... wilder vs fuy , fury vs josshua , Joshua vs wilder , wilder vs kiltschko... ouff
alex guerra chuck David Haye in there as well.
What about parker
alex guerra
they tip toe politely past each other
shakespeare Spence they aren't fighters they're in the game for the money.
Mr T having about 6 belts at every weight class doesn't help either.
What an excellent video, no hype, no slow motion repeats or fillers, just a brilliantly edited and narrated piece of boxing history.
This is easily in the top 10 videos of all RUclips. Thank you Rummy!
The 90's heavyweight division was like one huge "What If?"
What if Tyson and Ibeabuchi never went to prison?
What if Bowe never left boxing to join the military?
What if Morrison never tested positive for HIV?
What if Douglas would have stayed in shape?
What if Tyson never bit Holyfield's ear?
What if Bowe had stayed in decent shape more like. Big Daddy was barely bigger than Holyfield in their first fight, but has the same physique as Foreman towards the end, and Foreman was in his 40s, not his 20s.
What if Golota wasn't such a dumb Pollock and was able to NOT keep on hitting Bowe below the belt ( in two fights ) ? . He was clearly winning BOTH times . Smh.
mavis cruet,Riddick Bowe was the bigger than Holy field.
What if Bowe never relinquished his belt and actually agreed to fight Lewis.
What if Tyson never relinquished his belt and actually agreed to fight Lewis.
It's a Shame that Bowe beat Holyfield, because in 1993 would have seen a Holyfield v Lewis fight, but Bowe won and refused to ever face lewis. Massive Shame.
i think golota just didnt like bowe and couldnt give a shit about officially winning. all he wanted to do is punch the fuck outa bowes nuts.
I'm only 10 minutes in to this video and I had to stop and comment on how awesome and professional this joint is! Kudos, Rummy! You're that dude!
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.
Lewis was one of the greatest ever,only losses cause of lacking in concentration and evened every defeat,and retired at the right time and would have lived with Holmes and Ali.
Foreman is better than Ali
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.
There’s a reason Mercer was nicknamed “merciless”….lol…watch Mercer’s 3 fights with Lewis, Holyfield and Bert Cooper….he only won 1 of them; but all 3 were brutal fights, especially the Lewis and Cooper fights…Mercer had an iron chin
You sound hurt 😢
@@pdot9999 you sound weak and would run in a heartbeat.
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!
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 👍
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.
Love how you threw Rocky 5 in there. 😂
Not an out of place thing either, really. It gave Tommy Morrison drawing power.
The thumbnail always makes me chuckle. Everyone looks all buffed out and ready for war and then you have Foreman chunky and in a suit like if he accidentally just wandered onto the wrong set 😅
Little did they know he came to play and still had plenty of his Legendary power!!!
As a child, when I watched Ray Mercer fights he seemed like a person who loved what he did, like he enjoyed boxing. I wanted to grow up and be like that in whatever I did.
He was one of the boxers that didn't just want to beat you, he wanted to hurt you.
And with Morrison he wanted to kill em. 🤣
Thought I’d watch 5 mins of this before bed...Watched the full thing couldn’t get up for work 😂
C Co lol same here.i started at 2 am it's now after 3. Fortunately for me, i don't have to work 😆
This is so good - I’m rewatching it
Stop being lazy. Theres no excuse to miss work because you were up late
@@stonehorn4641 yeah! You tell em!
This man is legit he knows what he's talking about, he's been around long enough, and this video put me on even though it was an hour but I watched all of it! GOOD SHIT
One of the best videos on RUclips! Rummy, you are the man! Thanks for putting this together
This video is absolutely incredible one of the best boxing videos I’ve seen in a long time
90's was an amazing decade of Boxing. So much great boxers, lot of thrills, blood spills, and drama. Great documentary, thank you!
I think this is my favorite boxing video on RUclips. I am watching it for the fourth or fifth time already. Please make more similar videos. I would especially love videos about the heavyweights of the 70s, middleweights and/or welterweights of the 80s, super middleweights of the 90s and welterweights of the 90s and/or the 2000s. Love your work, Rummy.
This is one of the best and most thorough and informative piece about heavyweight boxing ever!! Love it!!
Must have watched this about 50 times. The ideal video the nostalgia and the actual footage to go with it makes this a top watch 👌
Congratulations for such a hard and well made work of the best era of heavyweights!
Not because many of them were great, but because I think we will not revive a such competitive era.
The worst of this era?
Don King, the gangster of boxing.
that wasn't the best the 60's 70's was for boxing period
@@christorpher84 "era of heavyweights" for a reason.
Yeah, what is that $4,000,000 'step aside fee' fee King paid Lewis to not fight someone in n the early 90's? That sounds like paying someone not to fight someone.
@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.
@per aspera ad astra ¿ HAGLER??????
amazing video, also no comment on Foreman? 45yrs old and knocking people out for the world title, what a legend
Freddie Blake 23:42
The Creepiest Of Pasta he doesn't mean that it wasn't mentioned, he wants the chronology to stop so there's thesis on how great Foreman's achievement was. That would totally fit in with this factual video...Jesus.
Watch Foreman slap around Frazier he was a monster back then. Then the miracle Ali pull on him. Took him forever to recover and make the comeback.
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
This is how you do a boxing documentary
I learned so much, thanks!
Amazing breakdown Rummy. I’ve watched this a few times. Thank you so much!
This guy sounds like Ray Liotta from Good Fellas doesn’t he?
Haha yip! You're right👍he does sound like him.
a lil bit
I hear more of a young Alan Alda.
... or Dennis Leary.
For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to reply with a bad joke.
Buddy. I watched the whole thing. This was a very good documentary. Very compelling and had me engaged the whole time. Kudos to this producer.
Absolutely loved this fabulous look back at a brilliant H/W era. Lots of hard work and research has gone into this and it is much appreciated.
Your body of work is worth the highest praise. Awesome analyses every single time. You deserve more subscribers!
What a great documentary Rummy keep up the excellent work.
I really enjoyed this! Can he do one for the 2000's?
Rummy does that for one reason, the 90s is one of the two most amazing decade for the heavyweight division (with the 70s)
And since the second part of the 2000s the division is BS in comparison
He should do a welterweights of the 2000's. (de la hoya, trinidad, mosley, gatti, vargas, mayorga, cotto, judah, hatton, mayweather, margarito, tszyu....actually that might take four hours)
I'd prefer a Heavyweight 80's version than a 2000's -- going from Holmes to having a young Mike Tyson take over the world that would be interesting and a lot would learn from it
Robert
Everyone has seen the highlights of Iron Mike so the rest of the eighties will be Larry Holmes against Ali to Spinks, not rich at the 70s and the 90s imo but still way more interesting than the 2005-2015 area
tszyu was a light welterweight
Rummy, you’re amazing my friend ! U gave us another superb documentary with brilliant editing, excellent footage, crisp sound, precise & un-biased commentary and overall wonderful presentation !
I was a boy in the 90s and I vaguely remember seeing these fights with my dad and his friends, you have given me a chance to relive this era with the kind of appreciation that grows with age.
Thanks 👍
Watched this wonderful documentary quite a few times and its one of the most comprehensive and best boxing videos I've ever seen.
What a fantastic timeline documentary, absolutely loved it, it gave a more clear story of the greatest chapter of heavyweight fights, thank you very much!

Dude this was absolutely brilliant. It's refreshing to finally a have a truthful, unbiased video highlighting boxing greats. Most Videos I've seen have had the narrator displaying favoritism towards a boxer even when the praise wasn't deserved. This is a great great great video. I'm really surprised you don't have more subs and views. Will definitely be recommending to all. Keep up the good work.
Yep, it was very objective. Boxing narrators need to do that more..... and fans.
Thankyou for taking so much trouble - comprehensive and informative - well done sir
I saw all these great fights iam glad you posted these
Great summery of the 90s. I watched most of those big fights live.
Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central you my brother are a legend 👊
Beerdy - Bruce Lee Central Me too. It was a glorious era. Good times back then.
Bet your house was popular lol
What a great time for boxing. How many of yall remember the spending 70 to 80 bucks to watch a few seconds of Mike Tyson's fights..haha. you couldn't blink, get up to get something to drink or you missed the whole thing. You learned quick to have you drinks full and Your blatter empty before the fight.

George Foreman in his prime would have destroyed the 90s heavyweight landscape. He almost did it as old man.
Lennox would have KO'd him

George foreman said he would’ve fucked up his younger self
@@ChrisMisc1 Lennox had a glass chin, and everybody knew it. He'd have lost to Riddick Bowe, and a prime Mike Tyson as well.
Willy! Foreman would beat Wilder, Fury, Joshua, Ruiz, and Whyte in the same night!!
This is an amazing chronology to say the least !!! I'd happily buy this if it was released on DVD or Blu Ray...Well done !!!!. If you do a 70's one then it's absolutely game over !!!!
Man!! Amazing job on this watched this now 3 times
The end actually brought a tear to my eye! This doc was beautifully put together. Nicely done. And boy oh boy the 90's surely was one of the greatest decades for Heavyweight boxing - Im glad I was around to see and remember it... And this was just the Heavyweight division, the other classes were just as exciting during this decade.
If you could do this again, same length, same weight, but in the 80s..that would be fantastic
80’s boxing was okay but not great, the best and most competitive eras of heavyweight boxing were the 70’s and 90’s. Unless you want to go back to a time none of us can remember I.e joe Louis era.
Joe Louis era would be easy....He was Champion for like 12 years lol
the video would be something like:
Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Holmes Spinks Spinks Smith Berbrick Tucker Tyson Tyson Tyson Tyson.
23:55 Foreman knocks a fellow heavy with an arm punch. His power was simply supernatural.
Great video. This was a very entertaining way to take a stroll down that lane of memories.
The Ref involved with the Mercer-Morrison fight should have lost his job. Mercer was allowed to tee off Morrison way too many times.
troy felsman no doubt that took away a few future fights for Tommy bad reffing!
The ref was a rocky fan.
😂😂😂😂😂
Worst referring ever. Wonder morrison wasn't killed with all shots he took despite being out on his feet prior to last few shots laid on him.
What do you think this is the NFL????
Wow...Holyfield fought basically EVERYONE. HW of the 90's!
Lewis was the best heavyweight of the 90's. It wasn't his fault that Bowe didn't want to fight him. He beat everybody...
Bowe was scheduled to fight Lewis. It's not Bowes fault Lewis proceeded to get knocked out.
1978utreg mike tyson is the best ever fuk gay lew
How is Mike Tyson the best ever? he didn't fight any of the top guys in the 90's except a past-prime Holyfeild & Tyson got knocked out in that fight. Tyson is the most overrated ever.
when you go to jail you lose too much bro. mental and physical strength.
Thanks for the dedication behind this video
Awesome video! I’ve been learning more about the history of boxing and this video has been such a great resource!
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
8:17 that ref was a week late stopping mercer from killing morrison!
lethrneck4 ...Naww not at all..
I thought the same thing - ref ran out to Burger King ordered a Large Royal w/ Cheese Meal w/ Strawberry Milkshake, ate it, then came back to the ring and stopped the fight.
@@trevorb.yokkanan9801 which is exactly what Mercer had for a celebration meal-times FIVE!
I thought the same thing. I was like "stop the fight!" Idiot ref..
Trevor B. Yokkanan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andrew "The nutcracker" Golota
he was a dick but golota still would have destroyed bowe without low blows, both being absolute units though.
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
@@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.
@@tswrench he didn't he quit he saved himself lol hate how people say they quit.. They wouldn't last a second in their shoes
To be fair golota was once injured in a car crash
simply amazing content thank you so much for filling those of us that were too young in on what we missed
This is a fantastic video man. Your passion really shines through! I would love to see one about 2000-2020
Riddick bowe and Mike Tyson relinquished belts instead of facing Louis. That says a lot for Lewis
Bowe vacated his belt because of the pathetic offers from Lewis’ manager. Had that fight happened around 1992-94 Bowe would have won.
Gece
In his prime and in the right mindset (as in if cus were still around) tyson woulda smashed Lennox Lewis
@@bensno7690 maybe maybe not
@@ZBOXINGTALK Bowe management are the one’s that made pathetic offers. 90/10 split in favor of Bowe, who the fuck would take that
Binging your videos in quarantine. You're giving me a crash course in modern boxing with nicely stylized, impartial narration. Great work.

What a great summary video rummy. Much appreciated and entertaining video.
I know this video took a lot of work to creat, it came out amazing, watched every second…thank you!
I've seen this in my recommendations for months and never clicked as I just thought "1 hour?! I'm a fight fan but ain't nobody got time for that" but damn I should've clicked earlier, sat through the whole thing thoroughly entertained! Have enjoyed a lot of your vids recently, sure more subs will come flooding in soon
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!
