IMO can't forget the Shavers-Ali fight and Frazier-Foreman fights.

I'm a bigger fan of heavyweight boxing than the lightweight dominance we have today. It's a shame no one seems talented enough to even rattle Vitali. Also IMO I still find it funny that he got rocked by an out of prime Lennox. I think those two brothers would have been great boxers in the 60s/70s. World champions? maybe. but not for as long as they have now. Great boxers for sure that would have been more interesting to follow if they were in previous decades.

Probably 70's.

90's were pretty great too - Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe, Foreman, Moorer, etc.

The 90s is also when big paydays were happening. Can't say the same about the 70s.
