    I'm with you. More top fighters in the 90s than the 70s. A lot of the 70s was Ali drama.

    I recently did an exercise for my own benefit, ranking the top 20 in each decade, a fighter only to appear in their best decade(IMO) but based on total career, Not quite the same as this question but I was amazed at the depth of the 80s. So, on the criteria of overall depth of fighters, and with my qualifiers, I rank them thus;
    80
    90
    60
    70
    10
    00
    2020's too early to rate but will be high.

    I find it hard to rank the bottom half of heavyweight lists, but I think you've nailed it perfect, mate.
