    Fights were better in the old days

    This just shows you how money hungry the sport has become... We all know that these guy,s put there asses on the line and deserves these huge purses but, in the good old days they had to face each other - no matter what...now some fighters avoided other fighters and we can point them out but why bother but, for the majority of fighters fought each other... So we all get deprived of these fights that would,ve been shown on wide world of sports in the days... It just goes to show you that times has changed for the worst not better... So long to fighters fighting each other for supremacy...just remembering...

        the sweeping left hook counter that floyd
        threw when he knocked out hatton is all i needed
        to see for this generation. that is by far
        the best and most difficult punch to land. The anticipatiin, balance and timing
        was incredible.

        the emergence of pac is also a bonus.

          I'm guessing Floyd is the only current Boxer who has avoided other opponents..

              Then in that case Manny isn't in his prime. Stop making bull**** up before the fight, Floyds looked better then he has ever in his entire career. Or are you saying Mosley got old over night?

                Fighters had more to lose back in the day~ boxing is still a brutal sport especially in terms of sustained violence~

                  The sport has always been money hungry, it's just that times have changed and now fighters don't have to fight as often since they get paid more.

                  Many fighters back in the 30s and 40s fought so damn often, but I don't know how that was really good for fans like us, since the fights weren't on TV (pre-Blue Ribbon) anyway. Unless you lived near where the fight was taking place, you weren't seeing it.

                    I dont think its the thread but the TS. I think the people who responded seen him in other threads saying something and now he made this so they know what its really about
