-I feel that most boxing fans overrate the fighters of old, perhaps to be viewed as knowledgeable or "old school". I'm not talking about guys like Ali, Ray Robinson, Roberto Duran, ect. I'm talking about the guys who NO ONE here has actually seen fight (or maybe only saw 1 or 2 clips on them), and still ranking them in the top 5 of all time in their weight class.


There is a difference between being a fan of violence and not wanting to watch Cory Spinks and Floyd run away for 12 rounds. If/when i want to go see running ill go watch athletics.
