    What period of time do you most identify with in boxing? Maybe it was/is when you are most involved in the sport, maybe it is because of a particular fighter or fighters or maybe it was an era that fascinates you the most.

    The 60's for me

    Nothing beats the days of Stevens, Millsom, and Meggs

    Late 70's early 80's I'm 54 now and I truly believe the early 80's was when the last great era of boxing ended

    I have been interested in boxing since the early 60s, but only in the last few decades have I (thanks to first satellite TV and then YouTube) been able to WATCH the great fighters I grew up reading about. So the last 30 years or so, have been the best for me.

    70's all weight categories, just so much talent. I think for most, its the era where you really got into it the most though. I remember my elders at that time saying how their guys were the best, the guys from their era, and the younger guys now saying this era is best.
