Why are the fighters from the first half othe 1900s looked as Gods

[STILL DETOX]

?? most of their fights weren't even recorded, and the ones that were, are terrible quality where u can't even see wtf is going on. and people bash fighters today for fighting "nobodies". how do u know the fighters back then fought good opposition? (particularly rocky marciano, sugar ray rob, joe louis, jack dempsey, jack johnson, etc)

old fighters always get overrated

Rocky Marciano was a bum beater.

Jack Johnson is a legend.

Yeah its easy calling them bums when your not the one in the ring with them. Every ATG respects Rocky but fans dont... something wrong there.

You would think the guys in the ring know more about boxing than the ones watchting.

we all know back then fighters use to fight 3-5 times a month (because of the need of money) and how the gloves were smaller than the ones today, but people need to stop overrating boxers from the early 1900's or older like jim jeffries and jim corbett.

in ESB, people pick those old-timers over modern day boxers .
