1970s: Muhammad Ali
Perhaps the first decade in which the best American was not necessarily the best in the world, the likes of Roberto Duran, Carlos Monzon, and Alexis Arguello all having claims to stake. But despite losing to Joe Frazier and Ken Norton after his return to the ring, Ali defeated George Foreman to regain the belt and defeated Joe Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila before retiring in 1978 after splitting a pair of bouts with Leon Spinks. Apologies to Bob Foster, who probably made the strongest claim among Ali’s contemporary compatriots.
