I will check it out, but I really believe that boxers of today are as good as in any era. Promoters, managers and sanctioning orgs are the real reason boxers seem less than they were in the "good old days".
Everything is so controlled today, it makes the fighters look like sissy boys. Why is it so controlled? to get every dollar possible out of every fighter and protect the fighters.
Things are much better for the fighters today, they don't fight as often, better conditioned, better diet, more money and sports medicine is light years beyond what it was just a couple of decades ago. That my opinion on the 'good old days", what's yours?
