You really have a blind spot for old time fighters. Have you seen Gene boxer?

From the first round to the last he fought at a good pace. He was very skilled boxer. The guy had a ton of heart to get through Grebb beating. Tunney retired rich and famous what more could you ask for in a heavyweight champion.
It's like anything, man, things evolve. When Gene was champ, boxing had been around as we know it (kind of) for what, 30 years? Boxing evolved. He was great for his time, but that style is obsolete. I've seen every Gene fight put on film, you watch those guys and guys that came after them and it's no comparison.
