shame on modern boxers

[Sleepwalker]

you sound like max power now.

It is a fact that boxing peaked 1970's for heavyweights and 80's for the smaller fighters.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

Maybe boxing peaked. More than likely it's just our perception.

We say boxing peaked in the 70s because it was the era of Ali, but why was anyone else better than anyone else from any other era?

I'd love to hear from someone why exactly a Ken Norton, Jerry Quarry, Ron Lyle, ect were any better than guys from today, but when I ask people for specifics people get silent all of a sudden because they don't have the answers.

I don't see those guys being any better than the ilk of Michael Dokes, Mike Weaver, Tim Witherspoon, Carl The Tooth Williams, etc.... Marginal at best.

The 70s was a tough era, but realistically quite a few of those guys were not as great as people made them out to be yet their reputations were inflated because of the top fighters they faced.
