The 70's post Rumble in the Jungle were not that great. Ali was largely defending against a bunch of bums and/or fighters on the decline. A guy named Leon was able to take the title with 7 fights under his belt. A glimmer of hope finally arose in 79 with Holmes-Norton but that was just a glimmer. The 90's were strong from end to end.
