TheMagicMan has preformed magic and has vanished,deciding not to answer my posts since he knows he was proved wrong and made to look like the fool he is.

TheMagicMan has taken over as the most whacked out and delusional poster on this forum,hands down.

I dont respond to your posts because English is clearly not your first language and you also believe things like Ali didnt duck a Young or Foreman rematch. Frazier lost to Foreman he still fought Ali again. Why? Cause although he wouldnt compete today, Frazier was a man.

More excuses,Lol

You don't respond because you were made to look like a fool.

Only a fool would say that Muhammad Ali wanted a small 16 foot ring to fight George Foreman in.That is the worst and most delusional post ever posted on this forum.

You don't respond because your a coward who was schooled.Lol

This thread might be more related to the age of the posters. Older members that had a chance to see older fighters and understand the significance of the bouts they had have an advantage over the youngest fans that look at boxrec and read a book.

Why are we feeding this troll anyway? It's pretty damn obvious he's just an adolescent wind-up-merchant who just comes into Boxing History to piss people off :thinking9:

And this one takes the cake....He thinks Muhammad Ali wanted to fight in a small 16 foot ring against George Foreman.

He also denies that Muhammad Ali was voted the ATHLETE OF THE CENTURY by sports illustrated and the USA today,and other sources.

Surely stats about the number of boxers in 1920s and present day should correct for an increased population size. Someone should work out number of boxers per 10 000 people.

Or am I sounding too much like my day job!?

all you have to do is look at Vitali Klitschko, he would murder anyone before him. Its called evolution, its happening.

Boxing is an Anglo-American sport that spread throughout the world and is now big in places where it was barely known before (Russia, Thailand, Japan). Although it ought to be remembered that there were boxers from all-over in the 1920s: Pancho Villa from the Philippines and Battling Siki from Senegal.

Actually boxing was big in Japan and many other areas of the world. It has always been bigger than it is today. There were probably the most boxers across the world through the sixties I'd say. Huge in Aus, Japan, Phillipines (it's always been a big sport), Thailand.

Compared to today, boxing in the 60's was so huge as to be laughable. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded (not calling you deluded blkynboy, just Magicman). I could go down the street from where I used to live and see Aus champs and world champs training around in many different gyms and there were so many gyms all through the city. One or two in every single area. Now, you struggle to find one good one in the whole damn city of melbourne and it's like that across the world now!

There were boxing shows on TV every week and weekend. TV Ringside was massive. Then you had the WWS boxing show. The only place boxing is as big as it used to be right now is probably the Philipines.

Families in Aus used to sit down and watch TV Ringside each week. Is was a normal TV show like Friends or some other ****** TV sitcom is now. It was one of the most watched shows on TV for decades. Boxing isn't on TV at all anymore.

While Vitaly is a good fighter today, he is only moderately better than Primo Carnera. And evolution takes millions of years son.
