Why is boxing history discussed in the first place?

[ferocity]

I dont understand why fans of the sport constantly discuss and argue old time fights from the 50-80's, everyone knows that they couldn't box for **** in those days.
Its ridiculous to even compare someone like a Rocky Marciano to a David Haye or Monte Barret because Rocky would lose everytime, boxers from the 70's are the equivilent in skill as teenage amateurs on the circuit today.

Its called evolution of the sport, someone like a Muhammad Ali could not defeat fighters of this era. This is why he got outclassed by some dude called Trevor Bercock.
I dont even see fighters like SRL and Marvin Hagler going the distance against Joe Calzaghe despite how good they were in their prime, fighters of today are superiour in terms of boxing knowledge and new nutritional technology.

Another example is Mike Tyson, good in his time but outclassed by a newer superiour althlete in Evander and Lewis. He would of been demolished by Vitali too, too small and too fragile for those guys.

THe boxing history board is utterly hysterical and a waste of space on this website, it should be removed IMO. Nobody cares about old time fighters like Ali, Monzon etc

People need to see this thread as to why boxing fans should know about the past.

Wladimer Klitskcho destroying boxing's past in Hasim Rahman and Rahman weighed 40lbs more than Ali!
