In what era do you think you would find a stronger top 10 than currently?

All of them? I mean i'd have to do more research than I care too and obviously every division wouldn't be weaker but I see less accomplished Boxers than I ever have.

Werent the 60s and 70s a bit weak? I mean not weak, but also not mindblowing either, outside of the heavyweights. 80, 90, 00 were fantastic.
