I am partial to 1976 cuz they were all so good but 84 rules.

[Silencers]

I think the 1984 team.

[GTL]

1984.. U cant **** with:
Meldrick Taylor
Pernell Whitaker
Evander Holyfeild

The best..

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I think the 1984 team.

I looked at the earlier (1960's) teams. They produced great heavyweights (obviously), but little else.

[Pico Hollywood]

The 1984 were all pretty succesful in their careers

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Two lock HoFers and a heavyweight champion in 1976.

I looked at the earlier (1960's) teams. They produced great heavyweights (obviously), but little else.

Yeah, it was mainly heavyweights before the 70's.

Ha, who could forget iron chinned Michael Bennett's pro career after the 2000 Olympics. Looked awesome until a few guys touched him up with first round ko's.

Howard Davis was dazzling in the amateurs in 1976. Was a solid pro but never seemed to turn the corner in big fights.

Interesing list of fighters on here. A ton of contenders.

Why isn't Tim Austin bolded and in red? He only defended his bantamweight title like 10 times over the years.
