Survey Results - Top 10 P4P in Each Decade (Update - 1980s Results Released)

Thanks again Rummy, another great video.

I agree with your points at the end of the video about the relative strength of the decade. Given the 1920's is often talked about as the golden period in boxing history, I was suprised when I did a detailed analysis of each decade, that in terms of the best work being done by the greatest fighters, the 1910's was the 2nd greatest decade in boxing history, imo, easily ahead of the 1920's and only behind the 1940's.

 

Thanks Rum.

Top shelf as usual.

The scoring system is excellent - not overly complicated but efficiently reflective, along with the collating and presentation of stats as to the # of lists appeared on, and the # of top 5 and first place votes.

Overall, you provide a very full picture on the survey, its trends and its departures.

As much (or as little) as I know of the era on the whole, it’s a very solid and well informed Top 10.

Great reference material for any and all boxing fans.

 

Thanks Rummy, another great video.

Pleased to see a clear consensus on the top 5, as I consider their work a level above in the 20's.

The measly 6 x wins Dempsey had in the 20's didn't get him in my top 25, let alone as high as 6, but I suppose with his profile it was inevitable he would be in the top 10. Personally, I think Sammy Mandell and Jackie Fields records during the 20's are vastly superior to his.

Interesting Pancho Villa makes the top 10, whilst Frankie Genaro doesn't, when you consider Genaro beat Villa 3 out of 3, all fight occurring in the 20's.

 

I am interested, thanks Rummy. I had them all in my top 10, though concede none are as well known as Dempsey or even Wills.

 

Out of curiosity, in which position did Maxie Rosenbloom ended up?

 

Thanks again for running this Rummy. Another great video.

The only fighter to make the top 10 in the 30's that wasn't in my top 25 was Max Schmeling. I felt there were 25 x boxers who did deeper work in the 30's than his 11-4-1 record, though I understand HW's are higher profile for some voters & he did beat Joe Louis in this decade.

I'm a little surprised my #5 & #6, Lou Ambers & Freddie Steele don't feature & very surprised my #4 Mickey Walker don't feature.

The top 3 are the same names I had, just with Louis & Ross the other way round.
