    If Boxing Was Like The Old Days??

    When everyone fought everyone, took risks and it wasn't all about $$$$$.


    Would Mayweather be undefeated still?

    Would Calzaghe?

    Would Bernard have less smaller people to pick on?

    Would Pac still pick on out of prime boxers?

    Would Cotto take knees earlier in his career?

        The one thing I liked was a lot more even rounds by the judges.


        15 ROUNDS went the way of the daisy wheel printer or the cb...


        For every awesome slugfest, there were plenty of stinkers.

                    I'm sure it happened, just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean it didn't happen more than you may think. We hear about fighters ducking other fighters so often because we now have the media outlets with which to be informed of said ducking.
