1994 was a pretty goofy year for the Heavyweights

Evander Holyfield loses the WBA and IBF belts to Michael Moorer who comes in as a big underdog. We get the absurd Teddy Atlas speeches (who seemingly is still living today off this win and the fact that he helped train Tyson when he was like 16). Evander retires briefly with heart issues

George Foreman at 45 years old fights Moorer and knocks him out in the tenth in a fight that Moorer was dominating

Michael Bennt who literally had an 11-1 record going into a fight with Tommy Morrison in 1993 beats him for the WBO Belt and then in 1994, loses it to HERBIE HIDE! Passes out in locker room post fight, retires shortly after

Riddick Bowe fights Buster Mathis Jr and knocks him out while he is down. Fight is ruled a no contest instead of a DQ just because.

Lennox Lewis fights the insane Oliver McCall who at that point had a 24-5 record and loses in 2 rounds!

at one point we had Heavyweight Champions: Michael Moorer, Oliver McCall and Herbie Hide

Amazing!

Yeah it was crazy but Herbie Hide was underrated. The guy was explosive and really fast. Shame he had glass for a jaw and he was a bit small for a HW.

just goes to show that in HW boxing they all hit hard.
 
1994 was the year I graduated.
