The heavyweight division is in an awful state
(This myth is annoying because it´s so constant. According to popular belief, the heavyweights were in the greatest ever state during the Ali era and pretty much ALL other eras, including right now, have been awful. At least I have read articles to that effect constantly for as long as I can remember. But "less than the greatest state" and "awful" are not the same thing)

One big one I think Is that a fighter can/could win a round without throwing a single punch...Will o' the wisp Pep?

In the past fights were scored as much on defence as offence.
Sugar Ray Leonrad was heard to have said "if the rules that exist now were to have existed when I was an amateur I never would have won the Olympics." We're much more offensively minded these days.

A man was once killed in the ring by having his nose driven into his brain by an uppercut,

Jack Dempsey had his fist in a plaster cast for a fight...

Sex before a fight weakens the fighters legs

The more muscles the harder a guy hits

The black bottle really had some adrenaline increasin drug to make Pryor super human in the Arguello fight

Tyson ate Lewis children

Ali never connected in the second Liston fight

I'm telling you he did!!!
