Best P4P Fighter Of Each Decade

Personally i don't bracket Mugabi with Hearns and Duran. I think he's overrated. A good win, similar to Roldan, except Roldan had actually proven himself a little more IMO. I rate the Hamsho wins, a very tough mofo in his own way. The Antuofermo rematch was ok and Sibson was interesting. Actually i'd rate Sibbo up with any win beside Hearn's and Duran. Why? His utter dominance of a very decent fighter. Sibson could have very likely stopped Mugabi. He and Roldan would have been a barnfest to remember. The more i think about it, the greater this fight becomes, christ! hahaha

 

50,s - Rocky Marciano
60,s- Cassius Clay
70,s- Carlos Monzon
80,s - Julio cesar Chavez / Mike Tyson
90,s - Evander Holyfield

 

Hagler boxed as well as he ever did against Sibson. His jab was thrown with superb rhythm and precision. And when he finally broke Sibson down during the 6th with power punches, it was simply a master at work. This win was to Hagler, like Williams was to Ali.

 

Another thing JT. Sibson was a decent operator, and previously held the European title. But I'd prefered to have seen Hagler do the same kind of job on someone like Duran. Doing that kind of business on a solid middleweight is impressive, but a higher marquee opponent would have stood out more.

 

but whitaker was never beaten maybe lost but never the outpointed well.. only trinidad did .....WAY into his retirement age.

jones was unbeatable and was fighting anybody the best the worst didnt matter if you could make 174 then your in his kingdom.
oscar never made any vibrations in any division he never beat the man they beat him

 

Fair call Robbi.

1930-39: Henry Armstrong

1940-49: Ezzard Charles

1950-59: Ray Robinson

1960-69: Muhammad Ali

1970-79: Roberto Duran

1980-89: Marvin Hagler

1990-99: Roy Jones Jr

 

Don't you ever talk about anyone else.

 

I wanted to put Pep on my list, but it had to be in the 40s and Robinson's resume was too much.

51 to 60 saw Pep lose to Saddler, Collins, Perez (in a fix, that got Pep banned from ever fighting in NYC again), Bassey and Leon. He did not beat any top 10 rated fighters in that time period.

Monzon 61 to 70... As sensational an upset and a victory the Benvenuti fight was it was his only victory over a rated fighter. His other opponent of note in the time frame (Briscoe) got a draw:blood against him in Buenos Aires...

Yeh I agree with your list except I would have Ezzard Charles in the 40s rather then Pep due to the competition he fought.

 

Ironicaly this is my list.

 

Minotauro, Charles is right up there for the 40's. Got no problem with that pick.

janitor, I must say you have a rather nice list.
