Three Different Rungs on the Same Long Boxing Ladder

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - All careers, big or small time, have their stages and arcs. To the individual riding those arcs, it almost certainly feels unique. It should. They are the one living it, getting hit for it.

The reality though is there is only so much uniqueness to go around. Long time followers of the sweet science can sometimes seem a jaded, cynical lot. Partly it’s because they are. Partly it’s because the longer the sport is followed, the more it takes to impress. Fans who grew up as children in the 1980s, or teenagers in the 1990s, know how frustrating the wisdom of age can be. They saw Tyson, they saw Jones, and they wondered aloud if anyone could ever have been better than the physical marvels witnessed. [details]

Sure thing...
As one of the older posters.. This can be very frustrating..
Trying to educate certain posters about the likes of Monzon, Sanchez, Pryor, Gomez, etc,etc, or maybe the skill levels of someone like Nicolino Locche, is becoming futile..
