what time was the golden era of hw boxing?

The 1990's.

Right now isn't too bad. We've have some great contests lately.

 

So be it. It was the best era.

 

90s for talent, 70s because all the major fights actually happened and we got all the closure we needed.

 

I want to see AJ vs Wilder, but I fear that it may never happen.

 

50-75…all the boys came back from war and most at the least took an interest in boxing during the military which lead to a lot of good fighters. Which if they didn’t get involved in for their kids involved in.

 

I think the 90's for depth but the 70's was a bit more decisive as there were only a couple of belts and fighters more inclined to fight each other.

It's hard to judge the older eras due to a lot less quality footage being available.

 

I see the early 30s to the late 70s, as being a period when the best fights that could be made, were getting made.

Before that you had the color bar, and after that the politics messed things up.

That could be considered a golden era.

 

Boxing has been chasing the dragon ever since the 70s.

 

The 90s had the best HWs of all time.

 

I would watch it and it's a good match up but I feel Wilder is done.

 

Only in the minds of boomers.

 

As a non-Boomer, nah.

One champ, greater mainstream support, easier access to televised bouts, and Ali's personality that fighters have been trying to mimic since.
