Boxing is the obvious one. Darts for a similar reason that there was only one governing body.
Possibly rugby union was more entertaining in that it allowed a flair team like Wales to be dominant without having a professional structure, whereas now a nation of that size can't be No. 1 for a long period.
Cricket - at county level definitely, because Test stars were more committed. Tests I dunno: there a great series and crap ones in both decades.
Football - hard to say. Very subjective.
