Rummy, are you looking more for a list of "FOTY from each year, 2000-2009" (because if not, that's a great idea for maybe a separate thread) or "y4y best 10 fights from 2000-2009"? (meaning there could be, say, half from 2005 alone and none from a particular year or years)

However, I originally was thinking of going backwards until we reached 1900-1909, but now I'm thinking we'll go back as far as the 40s or 30s instead before going to the All Time survey. Curious to hear some feedback and where the cutoff should be, but I am fairly certain it will be one of those two.

Thinking things through, if when tabulating the scores, I come across a fight that slipped through that was outside the range, like 2010 or 19999, I'll try and contact that poster after the deadline if need be, and give him a few days to revise, or else I'll have to exclude that entire list. Also, if any ridiculous entries come across that get red flags from both McGrain and me, I think I will scratch that. Open-ended criteria is fun and open to interpretation, but I think we can all agree when someone is trolling or aiming to skew the results in such a way that harm's the integrity of what we're doing.

Thank you all for participating so far already!


I hope you continue to participate in the future surveys, and I also am looking forward to seeing more lists from people who've not yet ventured in here.

The cutoff should probably be the thirties. I was trying to watch the 100 best fights list Ring Magazine put out about a decade ago and most of the stuff from before the thirties is scarce or not to be found at all. I'm talking about:

Ad Wolgast KO13 Joe Rivers, July 4, 1912
Terry McGovern KO8 George Dixon, January 9, 1900
Tommy Ryan KO17 Tommy West, March 4, 1901
Ted Lewis W12 Jack Britton, August 31, 1915
Benny Leonard KO6 Richie Mitchell, January 14, 1921

How am I supposed to judge a decade I can't even watch, unless you want to make this a list of the best fights available for viewing?

Not year-by-year, just 10 "best" from that range. So yeah, 5 of the fights could be from 2005, with other years from the range having no inclusions.

30s makes sense to me.

Rummy I updated my list as I forgot to list the number for Mab v Em. I meant the first fight.

I figured that it was...A great trilogy but the first was a masterclass IMHO!
