1920s: Jack Dempsey
After knocking out Willard in just three rounds in 1919, Dempsey bestrode the 1920s like a Colossus. Yes, he only made six title defenses, and none at all between October 1923 and losing the title to Gene Tunney in October 1926, but five of those were against future Hall-of-Famers, and his 11-knockdown, two-round slobberknocker against Luis Firpo is one of the most iconic of all time.
