What i have been blessed to witness in this era is beautiful
Hopkins 49 years old being a unified champion
Manny-going from Flyweight to 154
Floyd winning 11 titles remaining undefeated
Roy Jones starting at 154 going up and winning a heavyweight title
Wlad going from a champion to flat on his ass to rising up and DOMINATING!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention all the classic wars and rivalries...This sport is beautiful and pure..sure outside factors bring a bad name to this sport but i am here daily because i am a boxing junkie
I liked this thread because i love the sport so much too, even was a fighter for a period of my life, and still love the sport hardcore.
Being that said i really hope 2015 its a better year for boxing than 2014
greatest quote ever IMO

I had this quote saved as my screensaver for a while. Different picture though
and how did he do that? by clinching nonstop!!!!!!!!! oh well if he's winning that's all that matters. just beautiful
Put yourself in a fighters shoes.... There are no moral victories... Us fans can nitpick all day but a fighter is the one hunted with losing fights they should won
How a fighter wins does matter, also when in a fighters career the fight happens
Boxing is prizefighting.... Losses don't help your pockets, rankings, careers nor psyche
So a fighter goes out on his shield and takes another loss doing the same stuff every fight.its entertaining to fans but as a trainer I'd be proud seeing my fighter adapt or stick to the game plan...you do what you have to to win...not please fans
Klitschko adapted mid career better than most fighters... Most don't...he did, pacquaio did, Matthew said Muhammad did, etc. He is doing more than clinching with that ko ratio
Which one is on?
The most recent one Rocky Balboa, where he fights Tarver :lol1:
I'll never understand why not so many people liked this one, I think it's good.
Larry been posting that real stuff tonight. He's having one of those epiphanies he has every once in awhile.
:rofl: :rofl:
I do think we need more fights in general though, this Haymon NBC thing sounds good, hopefully we get more fights. 1 or 2 a year from the top guys simply isn't enough.

All of NSB should meet up at a super fight. Larry, Pac Boy, Golovkin, Beercules, and the whole crue. Has to be a bad ass fight though but somewhat reasonable. We wont be able to get tix to floyd vs manny

Great post.
There truly Is no sport that comes close to the feelings you get right before a superfight.
Even now watching Duran make his entrance In the first Leonard fight Is like watching It live. We have truly lived through an era of great great fighters.
