    Which decade stands out for you as a exceptional one for giving us great fighter s or fight s? This is probably a personal preference topic, but the 70 s takes some beating. Ali, frazier and Co in the heavy s. Bob foster been dominant in the light heavs. Monzon middle weigh and Duran light weights. Just a few ATG s from one decade. Like I said, personal preference so any decade s that stand out for you?

    Across all weight classes, I would say the 1920s.

    I know what you mean Rob, sometimes the champs tenure over laps decades. Like Ali from 60 s to 70 s. I looked through the old history pages and the 70 do seem to have a high percentage of great fighter s. But it's open to personal preference to.
