    I don't think that I could venture a proper guess but as far as I can see all the participants fought the best people around at the time and most of them fought their opponent in his prime. If I may say so the guys that fought the champs in your list were the cream of the crop. Guess I blew my bolt but I will keep trying to guess the answer.

    They were all excellent fights, that is what they have in common.

    Brilliant answer really because it cant be wrong since its true even though its not the 100% commonality I was looking for.

    This answer better be impressive because there's more chance of winning the lottery than finding the correlation between those fights. I give up.

    NAILED IT BROTHER. Well done.

    It was almost to obvious and I mixed them up. I left out about 30 fights. That decade is by far the best decade of all time. If we are calling decades eras then same thing. Its astonishing really and the 15 rounders just wow. They introduced 12 round title fights in the same decade.

    There is a good hint in the first post almost glaring that could lead to the answer.

    Btw I came up with this from time spent on a personal bucket list with boxing. I only had the time because wolves are taking dogs again in my area and when I take my dogs out there are no leashes involved. I have a big yard with a 6 foot fence but that's not stopping a wolf. No snow on the ground this year. Its causing some problems.


    Anyway...I was going to make a point based on my little inquiry but asked a question instead which in the end will validate the point I intend to make.

    No debate... They were not closed curcuit in the UK, indeed some were shown live on 'Network' TV...

    That answer is pretty close, in a round about way.
