    Boxers today are trash

    Boxers today aren't cut from the same cloth as their predecessors. Back then they used to fight for glory and truly wanted to prove that they were the best, the money was just a side reward.

    Nowadays boxers don't fight each other because of "How much PPV he makes" or "nobody knows who he is" and ****** **** like that. Boxers are content with making millions to beat up C level fighters instead of taking risks and leaving a lasting legacy in the sport.

    Pre 90’s boxers are trash and ped cheats. Fights back then had no drug testing. Almost all fighters were juiced to the gills.

          At least they fought each other.

            The old time boxers have a lot of fights precisely because they needed money and boxing didn't pay well.

                Boxers today aren’t trash - the fans today are the trash ones.

                You don’t expect boxers to cater to fickle fans when they can use their star power to make as much money as possible. Mayweather destroyed fandom in boxing.

                If Ali, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson, Willie Pep et al were active today - they will hate the fans and do exactly what the boxers today are doing.

                Isn’t ironic that the OP is a Fury fan - a walking description of what he hates. Tell the fat gypo to defend his belt against his mandatory and stop fighting bums!

                  Who the hell said I liked Fury? You must have me confused with someone else. Anyways, Ali and Ray would probably be the ones willing to fight the best and get frozen out. Ray Robinson ducked Charles Burley and a whole lotta of other fighters.

                  I wouldn't place all the blame on Mayweather but, it's not his fault that people wanted to watch him lose and that casuals ate the **** up with him being undefeated.

                    I disagree you just know Ali and Robinson without a doubt would be fighting everyone and why not they'd school anyone alive ...they're just cut from a different cloth with a different mind set


                    Heck you don't even have to look that far back ...Carl Froch always fought top guys since his fight with Pascal
                    froch was cut from old cloth even if he is a twat
