What would you pick as the best fight of each decade since the 1920's? My own choices are as follows. 20's: Dempsey-Firpo 30's: Ross-Canzoneri 2 40's: Louis-Conn 50's: Robinson-Basilio 2 60's: Ali-Liston 1 70's: Foreman-Lyle 80's: Leonard-Hearns 1 90's: Chavez-Taylor 00's: Morales-Barrera 1 10's: Marquez-Pacquiao 4
20s Tunney vs Dempsey I 30s Max Baer vs Primo Carnera 40s Tony Zale vs Rocky Graziano 3 50s Rocky Marciano vs Jersey Joe Walcott I 60s Joe Frazier vs Jerry Quarry I 70s Ali vs Frazier III 80s Pryor vs Arguello I 90s Holyfield vs Bowe I 00s Gatti vs Ward I 10s Calderon vs Segura I
Just had a quick look at this but for me the Danny Lopez-Mike Ayala fight sticks out for me for the 70's.
starting with the 1950s my pick would be Marciano Walcott. Robinson-Lamotta was not really a fight becuz Jake was so outgunned 1960s who was even around in the sixties that exciting? 1970s for me goes to Arguello Escalera 1 or Franklin-Johnson 2 1980s goes soley to Hagler-Hearns,,, The ONE! runner up is the Pryor Arguello- such drama and a never till then seen display of brutal violence 1990s for me was Chavez Taylor. one of those true magical nights 00's who can forget Roy Jones going down to defeat, his career ruined from one shot. sometimes the great ones never recover and this decade isnt over so we'll just have to wait
