I'm talking like 100 years ago old. The Jack Johnsons and Sam Langfords of the world. What about the 20s with Dempsey or the great 30s. I love studying old tapes of fighters and breaking down footwork compared to now and **** like that. I know I am a little overboard about boxing but I love all eras and try to watch as much as possible.
I love old fights and old fighters hence my avatar. If you find any material on Battling Nelson please post it here or rather in the history section. My fightcollection is wasted following the flooding of my cellar 2 years ago.
Im currently reading " Unforgivable Blackness"..
The rise and fall of Jack Johnson
[FONT="Times New Roman"]Good book. I finished it about a month ago. Anothe excellent boxing book is "Don King: his life and crimes. That is an excellent read.[/FONT]
No. The quality of the film footage is mostly terrible, and sometimes not even at the right speed. It's interesting to see, but comparisons to the fighters of today are pointless IMO.
Yeah, it's really hard to get into watching a fight when the quality is so lousy and the speed is off like you said.
