The 1930s-40s for me. Joe Louis Max Schmeling Max Baer Jack Sharkey Going into the 40 s you also had likes of Jersey Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles beginning to work their way up.
I think about this sometimes - they could have been, but they don't deserve it. If in the 90s everyone fought "with everyone" like Holyfield - they would deserve gold. Imagine ALL (for gold, half would be enough) combinations: Tyson Vs.Bowe, Lewis, Foreman, Moorer Bowe Vs. Lewis, Foreman, Moorer Lewis Vs. Moorer, Foreman Holmes Vs. Foreman
Yeah but we still got a trio with Bowe/Holy, Moorer/Cooper, Tyson/Ruddock x2, Tyson/Douglas, Moorer/Foreman, Mercer/Morrison, Lewis/Briggs, Morrison/Hipp, Tua/Ruiz, Tua/Ibeabuchi, Golota/Bowe x2, etc, etc....
The 2000s were more awesome than people remember: 1. Rahman’s career was a lot of fun. 2. Ditto Brewster 3. Vitali vs. Lewis and Sanders 4. Peter had a fun career 5. Byrd—Tua 6. James Toney 7. Jirov—Moorer 8. Mesi vs. Barrett and Jirov 9. Ettiene in 2000 10. David Haye 11. And the top of the division was stacked with the K bros and Lewis.
