    Did one for the top 5-10 and another for the top 15-20 because depth changes everything. Put in tiers basically if its the same tier I had a hard time seperating them.



    Top 5-10
    T1 70s,30s
    T2 90s,60s,20s
    T3 10s,80s
    T4 40s,2000s
    T5 2010s
    T6 50s


    Top 15-20
    T1 30s,70s,10s,40s
    T2 80s
    T3 2000s
    T4 60s,20s,50s
    T5 2010s
    T5 90s

    I think decades should be decided by debut year/birthday or 5 years because it makes comparing more even but I'm not doing that here. Who to count in what decade and careers being split in different decades makes this discussion a pain. So does one half of a decade being much better than the other. Its just bothersome comparing an era and whether someone did something in the year x9 or x0. Got in a few arguments about that its stupid and theres got to be a better way to sort fighters into generations.




    The 2020s is ahead of the 2010s which I rated low. How high they are rated depends on the next few years because I was not a big fan of this whole Usyk/Fury/AJ/Wilder generation.

    1970s and 1930s ahead the pack. I could have split into periods for 5 I just stuck to decades though.
