I am thankful I live in such colourful era as the 80's, 90's, 00's and today. Sure Manny/Floyd is an example of such damage today and something should be done about this shit in future.

But the quality of boxing is much improved imo on the whole. I find olden days stuff practically unwatchable as far as entertainment goes. Then again Wladimir has given us some pretty boring performances for argument sake!

How is it conspiracy theory when I bring empirical evidence to the table? I tell what conspiracy is, its the dismissal of the past. The quality of boxing has not improved. People in many cases are gassed by the fourth round. All this science, sports medicine bla bla bla. This is the juice era with about eight fighters controlling the sport while everybody else toils in obscurity. Conspiracy theory my ass.

And this is what you said in another thread.

That leads further to prospect protectionism, fighters bumming their way to 30-0, cashing out in 1 or 2 big fights at the end of a hyped up rainbow.

Usually the fighters get the blame but modern training and recovery principles and fighters larger purses are only the lesser part of it. It's the fight industry making the real money doing the real damage.
You need to decide how you really feel instead of calling people conspiracy theorists. I've been watching boxing since the sixties and made its rich history part of my life since. I know what I have experienced and witnessed.
