The mastery, the category, and even the brutality make the wars from this period unforgettable and (maybe) unattainable to ever match or surpass. The 70s was the right combine and hotspot for the division. The manufacturing degree, the frequency of fights being made, and most significantly, the fighters being prepared to struggle and never making poor excuses to not as they do at the moment. Come to consider it, how on this planet can we rank all of those nice fights? Is it potential? Clearly, I’ll need to have an honorable mentions part!
