1920s - I get my hands on a time machine I'm sitting ringside at Dempsey-Firpo; going to MSG every week: Langford, Tunney, Greb, Mc Vea, Walker, Flowers, Jeannette, Loughran, Brennan, Leonard, Kansas, Miske, White, Tendler, Wills . . . gonna dress like Gatsby and get a fade-cut like Dempsey. Find a connection for the good stuff and remember to sell all my stock by late August.
I was around in the eighties, the only excitement came in bookends: Montreal (1980) and Japan (1990) the rest of the decade was a sleeper interrupted by MTV and Larry Holmes. (Yes, Tyson's run to the championship was boring to watch; no good fights.)
OK, Tommy Hearns as well, but he alone is not enough to make a decade. The 1920s is the place to go.

Did you want our favorites or our most favorite? My most biggest regret is even answering this...
