Your Favorite Era/lineup of Fighters for each division...

Id say the 60's for middleweight is my favorite, so ridiculously stacked...The late 70's-early 80's is definitely my favorite for the lightheavy divvy , so many great fights and so many of my favorite lightheavies all in one ear.

For now the late 90's welterweight gets my vote..Tito was my favorite when I first got into boxing, very quickly I started appreciating Pea..Quartey, Carr, Campas, Lopez, Rivera, and Ive always had a bit of a soft spot for Hoya whilst he isnt one of my favs, there is no doubting his ability...but Im coming around to the 60's like yourself, the more I look into and the more film I see, it is without doubt one of the best eras that division has seen..perhaps up there with the best any division as ever seen.

 

a bit of an evolving period but the Camel Johnson Lopez Conteh Rossman Galindez Parlov era that became the Saad EMM Qawi Spinks and Davis Brothers era was superb for the LHW

 

2000's - 130lbers

Hamed
Barrera
Morales
Pacquiao
Marquez

 

Favourite light heavyweight era is the Galindez-Conteh-Lopez-Saad-Mustafa-Johnson-Kates-Qawi-Spinks era, which was up until the early 80's.

I remember at the time i actually really like the 140 pound Tszyu, Judah, Mitchell, Bailey, Tackie, Corley, and Witter and Hatton coming up division. Clearly not the best but i liked it at the time plenty.
