    boxing in the old days was more or less imo more simpler but more crooked i.e. fixed fights or controversies but old school fighters had more heart and determination and were more willing and you didnt have this ppv non sense or negotiation fallouts all the time because fighter a thought he deserved more then fighter b, but in the old days it was harder as well because of the rules and rounds which used to be 15 rounds and more enduring in the old days boxing used to get more viewers and followings because everyone used to love watching the fights on tv or go to them live.

    boxing in present day has fallen has gone more softer, 12 rounds drop from 15 rounds is good however IMO because most fighters nowadays could never go full 15 rounds they are just not as conditioned as used to be, nowadays as well the whole PPV nonsense and purse arguments along with venues and also things like twitter where people trash talk more has shown you what it has become, boxing has lost interest in majority of the the public because it does not interest them any more because people dont want to pay from $/£ 15.00 to $/£50.00 just to watch a fight and also with the whole sanctioning bodies and interim belts along with super belts and being 5 weight belts per each division makes people lose interest but creates more oppurtunity for more champions to be made, also alot of fighters do not fight like how they used to or have the heart or willingness and determination to make them like how previous fighters used to be instead alot of safety and defensive fighters and also in higher divisions going on from middleweight with the exception of super middleweight do not have as much competition or any real threats around anymore.
    Very good post man, and a very good argument,... "I dips me lid".

        I think modern history makes some fighters seem greater than they are, moving from lightweight-middleweight there is 20 belts possible (well more with ring super wba etc etc) ! So moving up 5 divs instead of only being able to be 5 time champ there is the possiblity you can be a 20 time champ which is ****** as hell ! Plus these days who the hell is the champion of any division ???
