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 He was great for his time, but that style is obsolete.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.
Lol. You think boxing started in 1990 and have no clue how good Tunney was. And again with the film shit. Don't you know how dumb that premise is? There is no film of countless things that are accepted as fact or likely.The same great fighters of past eras would be great today. And if you think anyone is going to look back at footage of Wlad and claim that he was some technical guru while at the same time dismissing Tunney then you are more delusional about past eras then I thought. This is the worst heavyweight division since John L Sullivan and the worst one that I have witnessed in 45 years. Not because I'm lost in the past but because it is period. Half of these clowns cant even fight for 5 rounds. Its pathetic.
