Modern ATG's will never be accepted

I should point out that

Ali and Patterson aren't "old timers"

and Robinson is the ONLY older fighter with any amount of speed, hence why he dominated.

show me someone quick from the 40's and I'll congratulate you.

Louis, charles, moore, Baer..all those guys were slow as mud.

Patterson was a champion in the 50's I think that's pretty old.

Jack Johnson,
Jersey Joe Walcott, www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzNA14VKMls
Willie Pep,
and Billy Conn (watch the first Louis fight)
were all fast in my opinion. I'm sure I could think of some more.

I agree there were some slow-ass guys but what about Rahman, Briggs, Valuev and Baldomir.

Speed isn't everything and plenty of fighters had speed 'back then', its ridiculous to think otherwise.

no, fighters could barely move back then, then all the sudden in more modern times they drink red bull before they get in the ring for extra speed, it gives them wings. One punch KOs were also invented....by mike tyson in the 80s.

them apples is one ****** ****.

Evolution of speed
Robinson invented a prototype of it in the 50's.
Ali made speed official and popular in the 60's.
Tyson improved it and added power to it in the 80's.
Today every fighter possesses quickness.

you sleazy ****** I never even said all that, I never even stated all newer fighters were fast. I did say most old fighter's were slow which is true.

now shut the hell up with your preconceived notions.

EDit: You and Poet have so much in common it's not funny, and knowing him he probably goes to the trouble to make multiple accounts.

What prototype would that be?

With time advances in sport come naturally, in reality the modern fighter would probably beat the old fighter 9 times out of ten because boxing is more professional, boxers train more and now more about training, health and nutrition.

robinson and ali used camera tricks to make it appear they moved fast, ali was a magician in his previous career so that says alot...also he made them speed up his early films for propoganda purposes. But yeah thats pretty much how it all went.

WRONG, Ive only made another account on this place when I couldnt log onto this one, and it has below 10 posts on it.

the fleetfooted style

Now I'll say the same ****** **** he said about me.....I bet all those accounts that agree with him are his. But more importantly, the ****er just made an account on this site to tell a BOXING HISTORY forum how he hates all the older fighters pre tyson...hes just trying to stir **** up for a reaction.
