    Imagine what the 1915 to 1929 time frame would have looked like without segregation? The world missed out on a lot of great fights because of the thinking back then. I haven't dived into it, but that era may be in the running for second best after the 70's. As it stands at the moment I rate the 70's and then the 90's as the first and second best era's.

      Yes! It's true that would have been fantastic. Surely that would have been right up there with the '70s and that's saying a lot.

        Recently four HOFers:
        Pacquiao
        Mayweather
        De la Hoya
        Mosley

        You could also do the same thing but replace DLH with Cotto

          My first grouping starts with Tony Canzoneri, Jimmy McClarnin, Barney Ross and Lou Amber's. How do these guys and their rivalries with one another compare to the four Kings?
          Too bad those late-70s light-heavies didn't meet the criteria. Eddie Mustafa Muhammed, Matthew Saad Muhammed, Marvin Johnson, Dwight Muhammed Qawi, Victor Galindez, and Michael Spinks. I don't think any of the six fought more than two or three of the others.

                    2. Jones, Nun, Toney, McCallum?

                    3. Of course we have Marquese, Barrara, Morales and Pacman.
                    Did Marquez fight Barrera or Morales?

                      - - Ducked Morales and knocked down by Barrera who walked him into a right hand.

                      Morales would’ve demolished him like Manny did the first 3x.
