1990 Year in Review (part 1)


"Iron" Mike Tyson (41-0/37KO)
(Rooney/Williams)

WBA, IBF, WBO, Lineal & Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion
1990 record - 3-0(3)
Prime - 13

...Dominated the Heavywieght division despite a "flash" knock down vs Michael Dokes...running out of challengers...could seriously challenge Marciano's record of 49-0...

Next opponent - winner of Holyfield vs Mercer



Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker (22-1/13)
(Green/Williams)

WBA & IBF Lightweight champion...WBO Junior Welterweight champion
1990 record - 3-0(2)
Prime - 13(LW) / 12(JWW)

...Dismantled top rated challengers in Camacho & Rosario before an "easy" defense against Dingaan Thobela...maybe the most talented and most hated fighter thanks to his trash talking...continues to seek a big money fight against Julio Cesar Chavez...

Next opponent - TBD



Dave "The Cobra" Anthony (15-0/11)
(Green/Green)

USBA Middleweight champion
1990 record - 5-0(4)
Prime - 11

...made the step up in weight to 160 and in competiton with wins over Ralph Moncrief and Willie Lee Monroe...only 21 and perhaps a year or two away from challenging for a world title...has drawn comparisons to a young Marvin Hagler...

Next opponent - Lamar Parks



John "The Beast" Mugabi (34-4/32)
(Green/Green)

IBF Junior Middleweight champion
1990 record - 2-1(1)
Prime - 9

...a pair of exciting but controversial TKO bouts with Gianfranco Rosi highlighted Mugabi's year...struggles with conditioning but still a fearsome puncher at 154...if he gets by undefeated WBO JMW champ John David Jackson in January, a third and final bout with Rosi is likely...

Next opponent - John David Jackson



Marvelous Marvin Hagler (65-3-2/53)
(Green/Williams)

IBF Super Middleweight champion
1990 record - 2-0
Post Prime - 8

...capped off his comeback from a 2 year hiatus with a FOTY canidate against Lindell Holmes...has stated his next fight will be his last win, lose or draw...has become something of a mentor to Dave Anthony and Mike Tyson, could stay with the 3 Rivers Fight Club as a trainer...

Next Opponent - Sugar Ray Leonard
