I'm not young by any means, Freya and kids prove that. But certainly not old enough to really know Rocky and co.

Yes I've watched videos, yes I've seen the records. But for me I'll never honestly know how good these guys were and I wonder how many of my generation and moving forward the next generation will remember these guys as legends, but possibly over hyped ones?

Well youtube and videos help, but I think it's important to remember a fight in the context in which it was held to get the full appreciation. Being 73 gives me a bit of an edge, but youtube has begun to level the playing field.
