I don't think anyone is interested in your judgements on racism, halfwit. Why don't you get out of here, since you just admitted you make threads just to raise hell. Get lost, punk.Comment

Oh, and one more thing for the record. I will stand up and vouch for this thread, in case anyone feels a type of way about why I said I created it.
These boxers gave blood sweat and tears for us. Sure they were paid handsomely, but they also pay a big price.
This is the history section! If you say something that will affect a fighters legacy, be prepared to be called out on it! And be prepared to come with your proof. We owe them at least that much!Comment

That's really insightful. And exactly what this forum is all about. I do genuinely feel bad for Auntie T, but I know he's just trying to be difficult to get attention. If he wanted to honesty discuss some of these matters, the conversations could actually be really productive.
I appreciate what you are saying about the techniques used by Sullivan. It makes sense w/ Boxing still in its infancy, that it was more natural fighting. The throws, the desire to protect the hands, the idea that men were to fight to prove who was superior, as opposed to dancing away.
I always say modern MMA looks more like early Boxing, and this would definitely fit that description. McGregor has had tremendous success against fighters who are much more polished in traditional striking arts and far more experienced in MMA specifically because he doesn't carry their useless baggage. He looks more like a bare-knuckle Boxer than a Queensbury Boxer or Thai Boxer.Comment

The moderating in this subforum has really gone downhill. Open racism like the kind found in many of Tromboni's posts used to not be tolerated here.Comment
