Who were the top 10 pound-for-pound boxers of the 1960s?
Welcome to the 8th installment of our latest boxing survey series. In this survey, we survey volunteers to determine the best boxers of each decade. A total of 26 volunteers participated in this survey, which focused on boxers from the 1960s. Each volunteer listed between 10 and 25 names in chronological order to vote for the best boxer of the 1960s.
The 1960s was a popular period in boxing history, with many great boxers. Three of the greatest boxers to come out of that decade were Muhammad Ali, Eder Jofre, and Emile Griffith.
Griffith enjoyed great success in the 1960s, becoming an undefeated three-time world welterweight champion and two-time undefeated world middleweight champion from 1961 to 1968.
Jofre became the NBA bantamweight champion in 1960 and achieved undisputed status in the years that followed. Jofre defended his title a total of eight times and is widely regarded as the greatest bantamweight of all time.
Ali became the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world in 1964 and defended his title nine times in a row before his boxing license was suspended in 1967, putting him out of action for the rest of the decade. However, Ali made a spectacular comeback over the next decade. Ali is widely regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.
So who were the top ten pound-for-pound boxers of the 1960s? Where did Muhammad Ali, Eder Jofre and Emile Griffith stand?
In this episode of Rummy's Corner, we try to answer that question based on the results of part 8 of this study, which focused on the 1960s and involved 26 volunteers. Enjoy watching the video: Rummy's Corner (produced and narrated by Geoffrey Ciani).
