    Are we allowed to change the eras or are we ranking those eras?

    I'll attempt to break it down like you have when I have more time,Hook :good My all time favourite years of the heavyweight division,though,were 1970-76.
    Ali,Frazier,Foreman,Norton and Young were exciting us all,with Larry Holmes just over the horizon.

    Before I give a complete breakdown,i'll just say that the 1970-74 era is the best,imo. I count it as the Foreman-Frazier-ALI era though. :good

    I like 90-94 the best. 60-64 I consider the weakest, clearly. I'll have to think on how I want to sort out the guts of the list...
