    Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but I can't understand how you can say that.
    I'm not asking for an argument (or wanting one), just saying what I think.

    Yeah, no of course, I get that.

    I don't really find slow paced fights boring.

    Tarver wasn't running or spoiling, he was doing all his body would let him do. Tarver fought to win man. He really did!
    I think there was still a good a mount of skill on show. Tarver was setting traps and must have been disappointed that he didn't have enough power to at least drop Cunningham once, albeit it set up a very tense finish with the 12th round effectively deciding the result of the contest.

    For the record though, I'm not saying I didn't like the Huck fight

    Yes, bring back the good old days when fighters were put in tough to develope like Marciano. I mean

    In his 6th fight he fought a guy making his debut.

    In his 8th he fought a man who was 1-4

    In his 9th the opponent was 0-1

    His 15th opponent was appropriately 9-15-1

    20th was 9-9

    In his 21st he stepped up to Lawry who had 62 wins, but also 49 losses and 9 draws

    27th opponent was 22-20-5

    By his 30th Lawry had earned another crack by going 3-8-1

    32nd opponent 8-8-1

    33rd 3-13-3

    34th 13-15-1

    35th 11-14-2

    The good old days when guys were hard and put in hard. That's how legends were built.

    Damn these frauds today fighting guys with 1 loss(exposed), 2losses(frauds), even 3 losses(bums)

    Bring back the good old days when blacks fought in separate venues, most of the world didn't box at all. Bring back the days when a world champ meant you were from a select few countries, and only the right pigment from those countries. Ahh, the good ole days, let's bring back all the bigotry too, and the prayer. These damn kids these days thanking God, they don't know God like people did in the good ole days. When boxing was for good ole boys.

Gone are the days of old time old fashion wars of attrition in the ring like we saw with gatti and ward or like we saw with Graciano and zale or like we saw with Marciano and walcott or like we saw with Dempsey and Tunney or like we saw with Ali and Frasier or Larry Holmes and Ken Norton or great wars like we saw between Aaron Pryor and Alexis or Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran well at least the first fight in Montreal anyway. Now what we have is a pile of s*** like we saw with Pacquiao and Mayweather or a pile of s*** like we saw with Deontay Wilder and bermane stiverne or absolute piss poor pile of s*** like we saw with klitschko. Shame on modern boxers and shame on modern human beings for their lackluster piss-poor uninspired pudgy money grubbing pieces of crap personalities and characters or should I say lack thereof. Bring back the good old days over by the docks in Hoboken New Jersey when a fight was a fight and people actually through 100 Punches per round nobody hurt their bicep muscle nobody tore their rotator cuff nobody broke their little pinky toe and could not throw punches in the ring like David loser piss poor sack of s*** Haye did against Klitschko. I have never seen such such piss poor subpar lackluster b******* in my entire life.
    It could even be said of the modern athlete. I remember comedian Richard Pryor joking how football legend Jim Brown played- never missed a game for being hurt. Today athletes get hurt in pre-season, what kind of shit is that?

    So into muscle building, with little fat, then wonder why they keep pulling tendons, snaping this, rupturing that.

    An NBA player today gets hurt- and they sit his 100 million dollar ass on the bench. I remember Bob Lanier of the Bucks, Darrol Dawkins of the sixers- when they got hurt- They would put a cartoonish looking big-ass-fuck bag of ice on their knees. Then be out there next fucking play.

    And these so called boxers today who whine a cry about a fighter running. Well, what the fuck happened to cutting the ring off? Took Haglar some rounds- but by the 9th & 10th Rounds, He had Ray trapped. Pretty boy had to (bang) his way out.
    So when I hear Pac claiming Floyd ran. Damn it's a what? 20x20 ring? Maybe 22 at best?!

    Even Ali stated Forman's plodding ass was far better at cutting the ring off, then he'd imagine. And we got to see Ali fight it out with the mummy.

    True dat. Shame on modern boxers & athletes today for chasing money and not the glory.
    As money will always accompany glory.

    Floyd has got the record, the statistics & the money- but he didn't get the glory.
