Your most exciting fighter of the 70's and 80's

In my extremely biased opinion since they're two of my favorites:

70-80: Duran

80-90: Tyson

 

Misters Saad Muhammad and Chacon for me.

Welcome aboard!

 

1980,s-Thomas Hearns ( was never in a boring fight )

 

1970,s -Foreman

 

I'd check out all of them, but his two most exciting to me are his second fights with Marvin Johnson and Yaqui Lopez in 1979 and 1980, respectively.

 

Duran,/ Little Red Lopez / Olivaires,/M.Johnson/Y.Lopez/M.Saad-Muhammed / A.Pryor/, B.Chacon/,Boza-Edwards /F.Fletcher, C.Parker/J.Mugabi/ R.Leonard/T.Hearns/E.Pederoza/ A.Arguello/E.Holyfield/ Hagler / G.Haugen /R.Blake/ M.Taylor /J.Jackson / M.Tyson R.Mancini / M.Sutherland / B.Limon Those are just a few names from the late 70's through the mid 80's that were must watch tv from some of the toughest and bravest men to ever lace em up . Some may not have been the most talented, But they were some of the most entertaining fighters of the era.

 

Many to Choose from and there is no real right or wrong answer.....

I could rewatch many over and over, but put me down for:
70’s Duran
80’s Azumah Nelson

And welcome to the classic forum

 

Danny Little Red Lopez. John The Beast Mugabi. Frank The Animal Fletcher. Ray Boom2 Mancini. Pipino Cuevas....

 

I liked the first Johnson fight the best. The first Conteh fight though not as consistently exciting as those is also great IMO.

 

I think Saad Muhammad, Ruben Olivares and Bobby Chacon would be my three choices for the 70s and 80s. Probably in that order too.

Edwin Rosario and Danny Lopez being very honorable mentions.

 

Can't go wrong with too many, really.

 

He was never in a dull fight , was always on CBS Saturday afternoon.
