There Will Never Be Another Golden Era Like The 80's
Today's fighters are to concerned with losing. They won't fight the best of the best IN THEIR PRIME, rarely. Champions don't fight Champions like Ray Leonard said. Hearns and Hagler fought each other. Leonard and Hearns fought each other twice. Leonard and Duran fought each other twice. Hearns fought Duran, Leonard fought Benitez. Arguello fought Pryor twice. The best of the best just don't fight one another anymore. They are too selective, too hand pick-ish. Afraid of losing, it's ALL about the money, and collecting these meaningless, plentiful belts. When you think about how Hagler, Leonard, Duran, Hearns, Holyfield, Tyson fought in the 80's, it's disgusting what it looks like today.
