What was the best era or eras in history?

I'll tie it down even more and say from 1966 to 1977.

 

"Packey McFarland has a good chance to outpoint Thomas Hearns and Ray Leonard."

Is this the kind of stuff you have to say here... if you want to be recognized as a real historian/expert?

 

I'll extend that a bit 1966 to 1982

 

This is not even close: early 90's! Just going off the top of my head here:

Heavies: Tyson, Holyfield, Moorer, Morrison, Foreman, Holmes, Lewis, Bowe, Cooper, Ruddock, Seldon, Holmes, and so on

Cruisers: Norris, Czyz

Light Heavies: Hill, Williams, Hearns,

Middles/ Super Middles: Jones, McClellan, Toney, Nunn, Benn, Eubanks, Dewitt, Pazienza, McCallum

Junior Middles: Norris, Jackson, Brown,

Welters: Trinidad, Whitaker, Taylor, Starling, Davis, Blocker, McGirt, Carr

Junior Welters: Chavez, Camacho, Haugen, Bramble, Mayweather, Padilla

Junior Light / Light: Nelson, Finnich, Ruelas brothers, De La Hoya, Hernandez, Paez

Flies: Carbajal, Gonzales

That's over 50 great fighters in one era, and I know I forgot a lot!

 

You need to watch the films when you are sober.:yep

 

The underlined are not great fighters imo, that reduces your list by more than half.
There are as many great fighters listed in the top ten ratings for 1924 as you have given for the entire 90's decade.

 

Agreed, except for McClellan, Benn, and Nunn.

 

Guess what you want, it's your thread.
