The 80s definitely had the best fights of all the decades.

 

It was the 1910s which you didn't list here. Even if you won't concede they had the best fights if we could see every fight they'd have the biggest library.

 

The thing is we dont have a lot of film to compare.

 

A lot of these were not great fights. Why would you put Leonard vs Howard on there? I could go on, however, 80s were great! I would say 80s, 90s, and 00s were all three bangers! I personally loved the Chavez reign, and the Bowe/Holy series.

 

I'm just saying the librarys got to be the biggest. And heres the crazy thing. You can take out the 4 pre WW1 years and 1910s probably still wins with just 6 years.

 

What you saying? You talking about the number of fights? that there was more pro licence fights around the world in the 1910s than today? You sure cos there must be hundreds of pro licence around the world that have happened just today in the last 24 hours let alone counting the entire decade
