do u have to fight pre 1990 to get any respect from u bums?

[Riddick]

i was wondering is that the case with ppl on this foreman..because fighters today (better stronger) get no respect from u ppl...1 guy started a thread about greatest middleweights ever...carlos monzonn and henry greb who both are a joke..were mentioned and not roy jones; carlos monzon fought only argentinas..i doubt argentinas were or ever been the best group of fighters in the world..then a guy started a topic about hardest hw hitters of all time...david tua wasnt even mentioned..yet dempsey was ..if tua fought in dempsey era with those gloves..im prett dam sure every opponent he fought would be out on streches unless they stopped it early same with LEWIS IBEAUCHI V.KLITCHKO W.KLITCHKO

I agree with this to a certain point but does fighter have to be post 1990 to get any respect from you? I mean calling Carlos Monzon a joke is just pure ignorance. Have you ever seen him fight or did you just check his record at boxrec?

current fighters get lots of respect, but they gotta show they bring something special to the sport in the ring.

Morales
Tszyu
Barrera
Pacquiao
and many others

get lots of respect because of their accomplishments and the fighters they have beaten. So Vitali Klitschko gets no respect because he beat an over-weight semi-retired golfer to win the championship. Big deal there are many years ahead of him to prove himself.

my father always told me not to listen to other peoples opinions untill you have your own.
and thats my philosophy

Your father is a wise man...

I've never had any respect for acquitted's opinion and posts like this one are the reason why.

Excellent post Aquitted!!! Todays boxers do not get the respect they deserve. Hail to Ruiz, Brewster, Byrd, and Meehan some of the greatest and unappreciated HW's of all time!!! They would have wooped most of the fighters of the past because they are bigger and stronger.

This guy could use a labotomy. It would probably improve his intelligence.

I think the problem with todays fighters is that they are all so much stronger that anyone really can get knocked out, especially in the heavyweight division!!! This is why you will see a bum knockout someone who is supposed to be up and coming!!! Almost all heavies have a punchers chance!!!

i bet brewster would beat that man in ur avator

Most current fighters would beat most past fighters but thats only because today they have better training and nutrition. If you took them and trained them the way they train now they would be just as good. For example, I think Tyson 80s would beat Foreman 70s, but if you take Foreman and put him in the same time and train him accordingly, then you got a good fight.

This applies to everybody except Hagler...he fades everybody from the past and present. Then he goes to the future and whoops everybody too.

the only good respectable fight roy jones jr. faught was as a heavyweight.
he should of stayed there.
coming back down he lost all that weight which in turn was muscle and it fu..cked him up and perhaps ruined his career

Now that's just silly. I believe Mr. Toney and Mr. Hopkins would take exception to that comment.
