    Choose one per decade. And it has to be on film (at least partially, if not fully).

    Are you asking about the film with the best production values or about the best (most exciting?) fight of which a film has survived?

    Great list. I wouldn't argue strongly against any of these choices, even if they wouldn't all be the ones I'd pick (some are, though).

    1940s? Maybe Louis-Conn 1 as there's enough of it on film to include (just a shame we don't have all 13 rounds).
