    PS-I'd go with Calzaghe. Smith fought better comp but lost most of his key bouts.

    ok jab. you & your oldschool fighters win. We modern boxers & athletes & our video evidence footage cant compete with old boxing articles & eyewitness account of unparalleled greatness.

      Now you're just acting like a baby. Like I said, if you ain't got the knowledge to make a reasonable argument you should just bow out gracefully.

        What that modern athletes nowadays are better than oldschool athletes back then?

        or that video footage is better than old boxing articles & word of mouth?

        Who ranks higher jab, John L Sullivan or Larry Holmes?

        btw, nothing graceful about arguing on the internet.

          Fine, have it your way. You want to argue athletes now and then? Bring it on. I'll tear down everything you come up with. Boxing history? Bring it on. I'll tear down everything you come up with.

          To understand something, anything, you have to be knowledgeable of it and objective. You are obviously neither since you had to resort to calling a Jones-Conn comparison a bait thread. If you knew anything you would know it a valid comparison. But hey, you can hang out on NSB and have your sorry opinions validated by others who know little or nothing of boxing history, right?

          When ever you want to start a thread and see who brings more facts to the table, let me know. I have a sneaking su****ion you will flame this response one more time tough and tuck tail. Or maybe you'll give me your in depth analysis on why Roy Jones should rank so much higher than Billy Conn all time. I doubt it though.

            wow, cant believe a "bait thread" post in a interent forum can illicit so much angst from a person who is what correct me if im wrong 8 years older than me(28).

            YOU DO KNOW I WAS JOKING WHEN I SAID IT WAS A BAIT THREAD RIGHT? LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            Settle down brah.

            btw,

            modern athletes > old athletes.

              Wrong.

              YOU DO KNOW I WAS JOKING WHEN I SAID IT WAS A BAIT THREAD RIGHT? LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
              Saying it once might be joking. You've said it at least 2 or 3 times that I can remember. Now you want to laugh it off after I've I've challenged your knowledge. Pfft!
              Settle down brah.

              Im not excited, just up for a reasonable debate.


              btw,

              modern athletes > old athletes.

              new ferrari > old ferrari.
              I'll argue this with you. Make your argument.

                Im 28. i remember you saying you are like 8 or 10 years older than me. I said the bait thread once, you got a little peeved. I said it the second time jokingly you blew your gasket.

                As for the modern athlete vs oldschool athlete there is no debate. but we can sure as hell try but it is 230 am central time & i have work tomorow.

                I AM NOT RUNNING FROM THIS ARGUMENT.

                  Oh, so you concede that it is a valid argument on who rates higher between Jones and Conn?

                  Trust me, it won't take long for me to break down why in many instances modern athletes are really no better than past athletes. But what ever. You let me know when you want me to open your eyes a little.

                    I arleady know what old man hearsay you are gonna throw at me.

                    "Well if oldschool athletes had modern athletes training methods they would be better"

                    Cant have it both ways. You think the prime wilt chamberlain that averaged 50 per game the whole season can do that now in the nba?

                    Athletic evolution.

                    Oldschool is behind it.

                    Good nite now.
