Some things regarding "the olden days" of boxing...

[W1LL]

1.) It was easy to get away with being a paper champ.
2.) 50% of fights had shady business going on, suspected dives etc.
3.) "World champions" didn't fight the most deserving contenders.
4.) Joe Louis's world title reign is laughable.

More to follow.

All 4 statements are false. Just leave it at that and you won't embarrass yourself further, unless you're kidding of course.

3.) "World champions" didn't fight the most deserving contenders.

World Champions of this era do the exact same thing.

You left out that boxing matches could go as long as 87 rounds, example: 1880, Paddy Ryan vs Joe Goss. LOL, 87 rounds, and bareknuckle fighting. Those mothers pussers were tuff. (and no cut men). roflmao
