By Cliff Rold - For any new boxing fan, the time is not long before a fellow fan points out a magic number which grows more mythologized with time: eight. As in boxing’s original eight weight classes. The number represents in the mind of many a time when the sport was compressed into fields which couldn’t help but be talented, couldn’t help but draw crowds, because there were so few places on the scale to go. They were divisions marked by single champions ever challenged by a depth of contenders today’s seventeen weight classes rarely know. [details]

Seriously, a Marquez vs Hamed fight never took place due to Hamed's camp. Not Marquez's.Originally posted by jrosales13 View Post
But overall I don't trust these "experts" point of views on fighters. More than half the time, it's from old douche bags who just love the sound of their own voices.
ESPN classic or a boxing channel needs to show half these guys. Cause I think I've seen the set mark for speed, power, and endurance from fighters. I don't think older fighters were magically better than anyone else. The ones like Duran and Leonard, had blatant attributes. So I gotta see these top 25's attributes. Simple as that.Comment
