Natural food? NATURAL FOOD?? You think the food was of higher quality back then? And with all this fear mongering of "genetically altered" food, there's absolutely no accepted evidence that these foods are harmful. There's no way you actually believe that nonsense.

There were tough guys and pussies back then, and there are tough guys and pussies now.

There were elite guys and BUMS back then, there are elite guys and BUMS now.

A guy with a losing record was a BUM then, just like he's a BUM now.

If any of you think any different, you're kidding yourself.

The only big difference is that the commissions weren't as strict and they allowed a lot of horrible mismatches that would never be allowed today.

People want to talk about Floyd/Maidana being a mismatch. What if Floyd was fighting a guy who was 1-3? A guy who had a full time job working 40 hours or more a week and trained whenever he had some spare time? That's the reality of a lot of these guys that pad Greb's record.
