20 years from now what would you say about this era of boxing

Little grandson, there was this man that came from the shadows and rose up to the top of the boxing mountain, he was an incredible athlete, he was an honest man with a temper, he was.............. Timothy Bradley

:spam::wtf:Marquez beat Pac 3 times :****you:

If20 years from now your life is still about Floyd Mayweather I will seriously pity you or any body like that lol :wtf:.............

when it comes down to it i will talk about one of the purest boxers i have ever watched nicknamed pretty boy. i will tell of how the beast from the philipinnes swept through boxing like a storm. of an unbreakable man by the name of marquez. ill talk about the great featherweights. of hopkins and how he did the unthinkable.of a man they called sugar and another who was golden since he was a boy. that the thunder made the lightning look tame. and most of all, i will remember that superheroes are real. that i lived in the time of superman. green fucking k my man....damn good post..we lived to see that shit.no stories.we saw dat shit

ya'll may say things aint great now.but when you get older you will appreciate it alot more in retrospect

I will tell my kids that although mayweather and manny were the ones getting all the spot light that there were other tremendous boxers who suffered because of the media hype between them... I will tell them the end of my era started with the birth of andre ward's quest for p4p no.1 I will tell them of hopkins, marquez and his insane counter punching , oscar, winky, mayorga's insane antics, margarito's cheating... Shane mosely defying the odds against margs, Gamboa's insane skills, and most of all about the ultimate blood and guts warrior Arturo "Thunder" Gatti who my son Is named after... Ohhh yeah and Winky... To show them how important a weapon a tight defence and good jab is. Dont forget about Kostya Tszu. No mention of this era is complete without him.

Lol... Great post!! I would say it was a time of media made super boxers, but lacked the grittiness of prior eras. I would make Pac and Holyfield as exceptions to the rule.

Lets say you are sitting with your kids/grand kids,what POSITIVE things would you have to say about this era of boxing,what fights would you talk about,what fighters would you hold in the greatest regard? First of all, which era? Define a start/stop point. If you are a teenager, I don't even want to know what you think of as an "era". But it would surely be different from many of the rest of us. But to humor myself, the only positive is that I got to witness the legendary careers of Floyd and Oscar. The negatives are more important for my offspring to know. I also witnessed the deterioration of the fanbase of boxing with the rise of Manny. Also an era of ducking and catchweights.

I would say people missed alot of good boxing because they were too busy looking at PPV numbers.

Marquez beat Pac 3 times

Lets say you are sitting with your kids/grand kids,what POSITIVE things would you have to say about this era of boxing,what fights would you talk about,what fighters would you hold in the greatest regard? Will talk about Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Roy Jones Jr, Tyson all greats of this era, I think possibly the greatest era of all time.

2006-present Boxing had Cancer and its name was Bob Arum 2007 was the last great year of boxing imo.

man im going to miss this era,my era......all this negative crap i hear on here over shadows all the legends i was privileged to witness.all the bloody wars i got to see.all the "WOW" moments

I'll talk about Floyd and Pacquiao in positive ways, about Hopkins and how he managed to fight at a world class level into his late 40s, and of course I'll talk about how unbelievable Roy Jones was, if he is considered part of this era.

Lets say you are sitting with your kids/grand kids,what POSITIVE things would you have to say about this era of boxing,what fights would you talk about,what fighters would you hold in the greatest regard? I'll talk about Floyd like my uncles used to talk about Ali. I never knew why they were so damn happy to tell me stories about fights but I more than know I will be the same way when I talk tmy little ones.
