I’m still recovering from the last one but back to the grind I guess . Lol but In all seriousness though sounds like a cool idea. I’ll work on my list and let you know when I’m done editing.

Btw is it ok if I do 10 for some and 25 for others? As my knowledge of the pre 1930s boxers isn’t great.
ABSOLUTELY! Feel free to list anywhere between 10 and 25 boxers for whichever decades you feel comfortable. It can be 10 in all, 10 in some, 25 in some, or like 17 or whatever. Just as long as it's a minimum of 10 for the ones you do make lists for. If you can only come up with 8 names for the 19xx's, just skip that one.

The 1940s has the best top 4 of any decade - arguably four of the best 10 fighters that ever lived in one decade and three of those 4 turned pro in 1940: Robinson, Charles, Pep and Louis.

I'm a numbers dork. I've always loved statistics, spreadsheets, and numberical breakdowns. Indeed, one of the reasons I began this immediately after closing the previous survey, is simply because I love that final moment when I do my final sort and the results are revealed. I'm going to break this down into a 14 or 15 part series, with 13 mini episodes, and 1 or 2 additional ones.
