In his day for example Gallileo was NOT regarded as correct by the church, only by his fellow scientists who seen also and knew he wad right. Some of these guys didn't want to speak up. These are analogous to the guys in the boxing world who agree but don't say so because the old time nutbags will shut them down.

But history shows that the nutbags always lose eventually. And every year you can see there is more of us and less of you and already the tables have turned.

I should judge by the end of the decade, most people will be realistic about boxing and nutbaggery will be a thing of the past!

I just want you to know that I DO in fact respect these past warriors. That gets lost arguing with you about it because it's necessary to break them to show the truth as you try to do to modern boxers.

But in their day, they were the champions and nothing can take that from them.
you can consider yourself an expert but that doesnt count. i can read science books and consider myself an expert at science but it doesnt mean that i am. and comparing the galileo situation is completely different. that was a religious culture which was being compromised. i havent heard anybody switching sides as you claim. no more people than normal are saying that todays fighters would beat older fighters unless you are talking about random boxing fans who started to like boxing and have never seen older fights.

i have not met one person or read anybody on the internet that really knows their boxing history and has watched a lot of old fights that agree with you. not one. and no, i dont believe that you know that much about boxing history. you may know a little but not anywhere near a lot of people. i have put in many hours over years studying boxing and i still know nothing compared to some people. which brings us full circle as to why we are not experts in the sports.
