that the '70s was the golden age of the heavyweights with greats like Muhammed Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Ken Norton, Jerry Quarry, Oscar Bonavena, Ernie Shavers, Ron Lyle and maybe Jimmy Young...not to mention Larry Holmes was coming quickly.

I agree, Max did however say that now is a pretty competitive heavyweight era too...what with Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, Joe Joyce, Andy Ruiz Jr., Dillian Whyte and some others coming up.

What say you? Could these guys compete with the '70s greats, which included Ali, the goat?
