Best filmed fight of the decade (1930s-2010s)

Choose one per decade. And it has to be on film (at least partially, if not fully).

 

30s: Armstrong-Ross
40s: Louis-Conn I
50s: Ortega-Paret I
60s: Griffith-Paret III
70s: Chacon-Lopez
80s: Chacon-Limon IV
90s: Zaragoza-Banke
00s: Morales-Barrera I
10s: Salido-Vargas
20s: Estrada-Gonzalez III

 

Nice choices, George. I'm not for sure about the best one from the 30s yet. Armstrong-Ross, Armstrong-Ambers 2 and Canzoneri-Chocolate are in contention, I think.

 

i know it's all opinion and i haven't bothered to provide a list so take this for what it's worth, but Chacon/Lopez? probably wasn't even best fight of '74.

 

Griffith-Paret III?? Pffft! That fuckin premature stoppage.

 

I'm trying to think of a better one from that year. Valdez-Briscoe 2? It's debatable. Good as it was, it wouldn't be my pick as fight of the 70s though.

 

Ali-Frazier 1 was the best fight of the 70s IMO. Followed by Olivares-Arguello.

 

I don't see any case for either of them being above Saad-Johnson I. I don't even find them the best fights from those four fighters. I prefer Arguello-Escalara II, Olivares-Castillo II and Ali-Frazier III.

 

Yeah, I love that fight. I was really torn between Chacon-Lopez and Saad-Pops I.

 

Ali-Frazier 1 was the fight of the decade all things considered. For pure in the ring action alone, it's up for debate but as a complete entity, nothing else comes close.

 

I think Saad-Pops 1 is definitely better. I think Saad-Pops 2 is better as well.
