Favourite time period

[joseph5620]

If you could have been around for any decade in boxing history what would you pick?

for me it would probably be the 70s just for the ali, foreman, frazier showdowns ... though I wouldn't mind having ringside seats when the fab fours were doing the business

For me it would be the 70's. Ali, Duran, Foster, Monzon, Foreman, Zarate, and many other fighters I wish I could have watched live in their primes.

I got to go with the 80's on this one although I would have loved to see prime Frazier fight in person.

Either the Marciano era or the 1890's Fitzsimmons, Sullivan, Burke...tough as ****.

[fitefanSHO]

Starting with Leonard-Hearns I in 1981 & finishing w/ Foreman's KO over Moorer in 1994.

81-94

So many great fights and fighters in that period, my favorite.

90's Naseem,Tyson,Lewis,Morales,Barrera,Mayweather,Holy field,Bowe,De La Hoya,Mosley,Trinidad,Vargas,Roy Jones,Hopkins,Pernell Whitaker,Hector Camacho,Julio Cesar Chavez,Marquez,Diego Corrales and many more...

Tough call! Imma say the 70's tho, The heavyweights alone make it a good pick but there were so many great little guys at that time too

Way back in the day, with Dempsey and the likes it seems as if boxing was King and the crowds really turned out which makes me think id like to have been there when EVERYONE was a fan and u werent the only guy in ur town who knew the difference between a check hook and a cross! But then id get pissed off with the HW champ not defending for years at a time

90's Naseem,Tyson,Lewis,Morales,Barrera,Mayweather,Holy field,Bowe,De La Hoya,Mosley,Trinidad,Vargas,Roy Jones,Hopkins,Pernell Whitaker,Hector Camacho,Julio Cesar Chavez,Marquez,Diego Corrales and many more...

Bingo. Thats exactly what I would pick. If only I was a fan 15 years earlier haha.

The Heavyweight division was exciting as hell with the Bowe-Holyfield triology, you had Tyson in the early 90's just a straight beast, Holyfield-Tyson, Foreman's upset of Moore, even the Buster Douglas upset!

You had prime Roy Jones & James Toney running the middleweight divisions and the great rising of Hopkins!

Pernell Whitaker, Felix Trinidad, Oscar, Chavez, Taylor, Ward and Gatti running around the lightweight & welterweight divisions, not to mention we got the see the last fights of Duran, Hearns, and Leonard!

The trilogies I named ALL 3 fights were competitive that is why they are the greatest. Duran vs Dejesus 3 was one sided so was Ali vs Frazier 2.

Oh and NO ONE agrees with you that there are "at least a dozen fights better then Castillo Corrales" are you ******ed?
