I miss that, the pre-Ali days, when fighters behaved with class and dignity instead of like pro wrestlers selling a gimmick.

class and dignity---when you watch Archie Moore or Rocky or Walcott or Joe Louis talk, you get a really good feeling, you respect human beings and you feel warm to your fellow humans. There was no malice, there was no hate, there was no unsportsmanlike trash or rubbish talking. When Marciano won the title, you should see his postfight interview and then compare that to cassius clay's postfight after beating Liston. Its high-class vs class-LESS. And that explains the fall of human society over the past 50 years. It went from classy Archie Moore to trashy Mike Tyson. 50 short years. It went from Frank Sinatra to Beyonce, it went from Buddy Holly to 50 Cent.

We are in the dark Ages again. It went from Dwight Eisenhower to Barack Obama.

They were very respectful but both looked very uncomfortable to be on camera, very stiff like they were reading from que cards.

Rocky the boxer? Hell yeah.

Rocky the talk show host? Hmmmm maybe not lol

BBB would annihilate every 185 pound fighter and 75% of every superheavyweight today.

The scary thought is if he fought today he'd probalby fight at 175. Imagine what Rock could do in the LHW division, it would be bloody murder.
