    For the 60s I have to go with the Ali (then Clay) 1st fight with Liston. With that fight Ali’s personality and skill not only allowed him to dominate the boxing world but all sports for that decade.

    • @pkoven
      @pkoven Год назад +1

      yes, i agree. this is the one glaring error in this otherwise excellent video. both Patterson and Johanssen are really just footnotes in the history of boxing. Ali's reign, which began with the incredible upset of Liston, was much longer, and his effect on boxing and his skill set were much greater.

      That’s how I feel too, his argument for Patterson was a pretty good one.. but Ali’s “i shook up the world” is one of the most iconic moments in sporting history. It has to be number 1 over Patterson’s two time champ achievement, especially because it’s been replicated plenty of times now.

I recognize the achievement of Patterson, but Ali vs Liston 1 really made history. It made a legend in Ali, and destroyed an unstoppable beast like Liston. So the 1960s was Ali's decade in his prime. Nevertheless, great list.

    The 1990's 3 Most significant title fights IMO;
    1. George Foreman KO 10 Michael Moorer - becoming the oldest boxer at close 46 to win the world championship 20 years after he lost it (1974-1994).
    2. James Buster Douglas KO 10 Mike Tyson - Great fight, the biggest underdog story in boxing history and defeating the badest man on the planet.
    3. Lennox Lewis UD 12 Evander Holyfield II - First unified & undisputed champion in 7 years in a very competive era.
    The 2000's 3 most significant title fights:
    1. Lennox Lewis KO 8 Mike Tyson - The epiloge of the great 90's era between 2 HOF champions duking it out finaly after many years waiting.
    Tyson been undefeated since 1997 and had for a long time been the WBC 1# contender but never wanting to fight Lewis at any point prior 2001.
    Lewis proved once and for all he was the best champion of there great era and Lewis also completed his house cleaning!
    2. Lennox Lewis TKO 6 Vitali Klitschko - Lewis was close to 38 years old and cleaned house of his era. Originaly up to face the much non interesting Kirk Johnson, but since he was out due to injury, Lewis accepted with just very short notice Vitalli Klitschko who was on the undercard. Lewis was in career heavierst shape and had trained for a completely different oppopnent. Lewis found he was not the bigger guy here and took some early beating while figuring out he could not box this tough big man. So he goes for dog-fighting and taking the fight to his opponent and Lewis expearince and power proved to change the tide wave as Vitali was gutted and getting his eye damaged in a most nasty eye-cut that eventually stoped the fight in Lewis favour. Lewis proved that despite being old, despite being in bad shape and despite not having properly trained for such dominating opponent, he could still win and defeat a next generation dominating champion in his very prime.
    3. Wladimir Klitschko RTD 9 Ruslan Chagaev - There are many Klitschko dominated championship bouts to pick from, but this had a lot of importance for the decade since Lewis retired in April 2004. This was for another step in unifying the crown and originaly all the marbles but the WBC title was to be on the line (WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO) + the vacant Lineal championship, but the WBA choosed to not sanction the fight as a WBA title was not to be Chagaevs anymore (?) due to political issues at the time with Chagev not having fought mandatory and been inactive despite having won the title from Valuev, who instead was again the WBA champion. Klitschko near cleaned the block with this one and only was next to aqquire the WBA title. The WBC title was his brother's property so to speak.

    My picks:
    1890s-Sullivan VS Corbett (the most significant "passing of the torch" fight of all time)
    1900s-agree on Johnson VS Tommy Burns
    1910s-agree on Johnson VS Jeffries (THE original superfight)
    1920s-agree on Tunney vs Dempsey II (though hon. mentions should go to the Dempsey-Firpo and Dempsey Carpentier superfights)
    1930s-agree on Louis vs Schmeling II
    1940s-Louis vs Conn I-far more famous fight than Walcott
    1950s-I prefer Marciano vs Walcott I
    1960s-Ali vs Liston I -- I can't believe that this fight wasn't even mentioned (Patterson vs Johansson II should fall under hon, mention).
    1970s-Ali vs Foreman (in hindsight, this has eclipsed FOTC and Thrilla in terms of cultural significance)
    1980s agree on Tyson vs Spinks but an honorable mention must certainly go to Holmes VS Cooney
    1990s agree on Douglas vs Tyson (but what a decade of great fights!)
    2000s agree on Lewis vs V. Klitschko (hon mention-Lewis vs Tyson)
    2010s agree on Fury vs W. Klitschko (a case could also be made for Joshua vs Klitschko)

    damn, rummy. thank you so much. even though i approve of your reasoning behind each decade’s pic, i am a forever tyson fanboy and still in denial about the triumph of tokyo buster douglas... so i’m gonna just pretend you went with the holyfield/bowe bout and call it all good. and seriously, what a pleasure to go through the history of the division. we really just barely hit the tip of the iceberg! there are so many worthwhile major fights to delve into and stories to explore. boxing history is so rich. i always appreciate your passion for it, thanks so much brother rummy. a true legend. years and years from now, this video will be recognized as the greatest heavyweight boxing youtube video produced in the 2020s 😎

    very good video rummy
    the only selection I disagree with is that I personally would have chosen Ali - Listen 1 for the decade of the sixties but with the evidence you provided for Patterson - Johansson 2, neither would be a bad pick

      Patterson regaining the heavyweight title is significant for sure but Ali-Liston 1 is a historical phenomenon, a turning point, almost like the start of modern boxing, it took boxing to the mainstream, now everyday people knew who was the heavyweight champion of the world like they knew the president of the united states.

    Rummy is the real thing. He gets an idea and goes for it with clarity and humility. He’s basically a fan with a lot of intelligence and he makes his case simply and with good insight. Always look forward to his analysis and footage.

    I would have Holmes-Spinks I for the 80's.
    And as many have already said, I would have gone with Liston-Clay I for the 60's.
    Great work as always.
