Your favorite era....

1975 - 1995 in Britain. The British Title still meant a great deal then and we did seem to have more competitive fights with more small hall shows.
I watch anything from that era.

 

1981 1982

 

80's, specifically '83-'86.

 

Depends on what point of my life I’m at. The only era I don’t think I’ve ever truly gotten into is the 19th century (and before, obviously).

 

I think It still is important, also Commonwealth, Scottish tittle.
They not rarerly are first stepping to higher tittle fights.
Like the same modern intercontinental or european tittles.
Maybe it is a bit lower today, still I think british tittles are good stuff.

Older times there was not obsession with 0 in record.
Now it is what it is and pro boxing isn't like MT or KB. To be not considered as a bum guy preferably should be undefeated, otherwise look what is in forums posts.
Modern matchmaking is what it is.

 

1950-65
Favorite HWs and LHWs in that stretch everyone from Charles Marciano Moore Walcott Louis to Ali Liston Patterson Folley Machen . Before PEDS but the sport was at its most developed

 

Moore era was great: no obsession with 0 in fight record. Moore too was great, modern fans might not have such opinion just because he wasn't undefeated.
Closer to stadium MT than modern pro boxing during last 30 years, especially because these ppl now even easily might consider boxer as a bum after he lost for example with split decision and even this fight was in away corner, in the guest corner in foreign country.
0 is demanded in forums, YT comments.

 

Yep a time when so many people actually fought each other! Who would have thought

 

I don’t recall too many differing opinions on Moore. Just my recent one (though it never slipped my tongue that he wasn’t great).

 

Plenty of these modern boxing fans that are obsessed with mandatory 0 in fighter's record doesn't know about Moore.
they usually are focusing on boxers from last years, good if last 20 years.

 

From the mid 60's or thereabouts, all the way through the late 70's...everybody has their own favorite time, but these years were surely mine. Let's see...bear with me here....15 round title bouts, free tv, Liston, Patterson, Clay/Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Bonavena, Chuvalo, Quarry, Shavers, Lyle, Young, Foster, Galindez, Monzon, Valdez, Griffith, Tiger, Giardello, SRL, Benitez, Napoles, Buchanan, Ortiz, Laguna, Duran, Arguello, Pedroza, Gomez, Zarate, Pintor, Olivares, Canto.....any further evidence of the greatness of these years? Oh yes, lets throw in the mix Howard Cosell...love him or hate him...he was the voice of an era.

 

70's through the mid 80's,,, how good was it? you could watch an Ali fight on network television

 

The early 1980s was a phenomenal time with great fighters (some of whom were genuine worldwide superstars) and great fights. It was arguably the last great era for boxing in America.

In terms of what I've grown up watching, I was looking back to the 80s even when I was first following the sport in the early 90s.

 

80s were great but it was my era to see the fights live. But I heard the 70s were better. In fact, the farther you go back, the better the boxing gets
