If you could choose one year...

[reznick]

If you could choose one year in the history of the boxing to bring to the modern weight divisions, which year would it be?

So lets say someone gave you a time machine, that lets you transport all the boxers from a specific ear in history to our times. Every boxer would be just as developed as he was that very year.


I think I might pick: 1950

Veteran Ray Robinson
Veteran Jake Lamotta
Veteran Willie Pep
Young Liston
Developed Marciano
Prime Charles
Veteran Joe walcott
Prime Moore
Saddler
La Starza

and many more.


What about you guys?

[McGrain]

That's a good one, but i'd maybe go back a bit further to 1944

Prime Charley Burley
Prime Holman Williams
Prime Lloyd Marshall
Prime Joe Louis
Prime Sugar Ray
Prime Willie Pep

Cocoa Kid, Jack Chase, Eddie Booker, Ike Williams, Beau Jack, Chalky Wright, Fritzie Zivic, Jackie Patterson, Manuel Ortiz, Ezzard Charles

[MAG1965]

1981

I don't know..
The 50s have Liston, Robinson, and others, but the 60s-70s have other great fighters like Ali, Foreman, Frazier, and others.
I would've loved to watch Ali nowadays..

1925 or abouts
Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney
Harry Greb
Mickey Walker
Benny Leonard
Johnny Dundee
Pete Herman
Jimmy Wilde
They didn't call this the "Golden Age "of boxing for nothing..And what contenders ?
