although I respect the ali years, personally I gotta vote for 80-90's, because of Tyson. He was the reason I started to watch boxing and was the first time I stayed up late at the local snooker club to watch a big fight live.Comment

I would say maybe the 00's
It captured the zenith of Lennox Lewis (vs Rahman 2 and Tyson) in the beginning, the VK vs LL TKO6 fight, the takeover and destruction wrecked by Vitali Klitschko, the darkest moments and the spring back to ultimate dominance of WK.
Except I'm very partial to the 90's too.
Rid**** Bowe wars with Holyfield and his Golota fights, the wars of Holyfield, Tyson's furious lurking in the division, LEnnox's rise to dominance.
I like watching Tyson's 80's run but the opposition was not strong by comparison. He too was what caught my eye in boxing as a kid.
Thank god I grew up in such a hard hitting and exciting HW era. Had I been born 10 or 20 years earlier I would have been subjected to unwatchable garbage!

Easily present.
Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Liston and so on couldn't hold a candle to the big monsters of today such as Andy Ruiz Jr, the slick Manuel Charr, Alex Leapai (only the fighter Iron Mike Tyson could of been), the giant steel chinned David Price, fleet-footed Christian Hammer and the supremely conditioned Chris Arreola. Its evident to anyone without extreme bias that heavyweights have evolved. They are bigger, stronger, faster all thanks for modern day supplementation and training methods.Comment
