    32-42 or 15-25.

    The 70s can't really be buffed that much by changing around the years. Now you've got to take out Holmes. And you get Terrell and old Liston in exchange.

    I'll go from 1926 to 1935. You get both Dempsey - Tunney fights plus five different undisputed heavyweight titlists in the 1930s.

    I think this is spot on, but I’m biased since I was obsessed with heavyweight boxing during this time.
    Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, comeback Foreman and Holmes, Morrison, Briggs, Tua, Golota, Mercer, Rahman, McCall….

    The 1968–78 era—and in my opinion, nothing else comes close.
    We have the Ali-Frazier trilogy featuring two classics, the Rumble in the Jungle, the "mother of all wars" between Foreman and Lyle, and finally, the magnificent Holmes-Norton fight that saw the birth of a new champion. Ultimately, we have four outstanding heavyweights in their prime who fought one another.

    If 99 isn’t part of it, it’s not the right list (Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Ike, Tua, Byrd, Vitali, Wlad, Sanders, Rahman, Grant. Golota).
