Boxing fandom is generally divided into two groups. Those who never saw the Duran's, Arguello's, Leonard's, Hagler's, and Gomez's of the world....... and those who did. The ones who didn't only have the perspective of today's typical fighter, with all the off-the-ring paraphernalia that goes with it. As @IamInuit very well put, the safety first, the weight cheating, the Twitter wars..... it seems like today's fighter does more posturing and image-building through social media than actual fighting. Ducking is rampant and accepted. It's hilarious to see someone like Duran criticized by those who never actually followed his career. It's even more hilarious to see the "No Mas" and an obscure fight against Pat Lawlor as the basis for condemning one of history's greatest boxing warriors.

Lack of perspective is the most damning of disadvantages.
