    The thirties are underrated.

    Thanks I was looking for that year just based on fact Monzon, Duran and Ali were champs at one time. Seriously, hard to top that era just off those three alone.

    I forgot to put the year: 1982. For '83 you'd have to omit Sanchez, Arguello, and Leonard.

    Most of the individual years of the 70's were just epic IMO.
