Which decade contained the best elite fighters?

[greeh]

Come on, gotta be the 70s right???

Ali
Frazier
Foreman
Norton
Holmes
Shavers
Foster
Monzon
Olivares
Saldivar
Duran
Benvenuti
Napoles
Chuchu Castillo
Griffith
De Jesus
cervantes
Jofre
Arguello
Benitez

I could add a few more to that list, damn!

Saldivar and Jofre belong in the 60’s.

They were at their absolute peak and did their best work during that decade, not in the 70’s.

And where in the name of God is Miguel Canto?

Blasphemy! :ibutt:

Then there was Rafael Herrera, Alfonso Lopez, Carlos Zarate, Wilfredo Gomez, John Conteh, Guty Espadas, Ernesto Marcel, Betulio Gonzalez, Masao Ohba and Victor Galindez to name a few more excellent fighters which were active during the 70's.

those fighters in the poll options are just examples........and not just limited to those names when deciding which decade is the best....

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Has to be 80s,,, prime hagler, prime hearns, prime SRL, prime tyson, prime holmes, prime spinks, prime chavez, prime camacho, prime mccallum, prime pernell, prime curry, prime jackson, prime holyfield

From top to bottom thru all divisions, 80s had the most depth, and probably the top tier talent,,, prime hagler, hearns, SRL, pryor, tyson, mccallum, pernell, holyfield, chavez, spinks, holmes they are legit ATG and most are very highly rated ATGs

I got love for the 80's

[J-champ]

Kind of a tricky poll because some people might have voted 1970s because of fighters like Ali but Ali also did well during the 60's and could have been included there. Alot of the fighters listed were great in different decades.

[AVDB]

I like the 60s, 80s and 90s most for boxing

[louis54]

the 20s i think with the 40s and 30s next. 20s had the most amatuer and pro fighters ever. alot of competition

[RubenSonny]

I'm going with the 40s, 70s and 80s.
