And while ESPN may not speak of Magic or Jordan constantly (they do though), they are the standard by which the Durants, LeBrons, Curry's, etc. are measured and those huge NBA TV contracts and paychecks wouldn't exist WITHOUT them. That should be respected.
To the OP, thanks for the vid.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostThat's nice and all but it's time to stop living in the past. That's the problem with boxing. Everybody is focused on the past. Let's talk about the current and future of boxing. The NBA talks about Durant,Curry, Westbrook, James etc. You don't see ESPN constantly talking about Magic, Bird, or Jordan.
Peace baby boi!

Boxing is full of old men yelling get off my lawn. And we wonder why UFC is so popular among the youth. Old judges who can't score fights. Old referees who can't control a fight. Old promoters. Old commentators. Everything in boxing is old. It's like the Republican party. Our base is dying off. We need an injection of youth into the sport. Constantly looking back won't do that. Young people don't wanna constantly hear how everything was better back in the day. I know I hated hearing that from my parents. I notice in all other sports the youth will defend the players of their generation. In boxing they defend the fighters of decades past. Ask a 27 year old who's better, Jordan or LeBron. They'll say Lebron. Boxing fans talk about how fighters they've never seen before are better than the current fighters. It's crazy!

I don't know why some people only focus on what's happening in the ring right now and miss out on generations of greatness. Same with music and film.

Originally posted by ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY View PostYeah, the Blade has been doing good, seeing him around at different shows etc. Dennis Milton, too...Dennis had super potential coming out of the amateurs (he beat McClellan in the pros, too)...
