    Money is the differance between modern day boxers and old school boxers

    They fought more then cause the HAD to..now they get paid so much once they reach a certain level,they cherry pick and only fight so often.They avoid fighters,dont avenge loses,back out of fights over the smallest things and then in the same breath call themselves great...Greatness isnt defines by your skill set,,its defines by what you overcome,the risk you take and your character.money ruins alot of things and changes people,it makes them think they're bigger than they really are.I wish boxing was more like the ufc where the best HAD to fight the best NO QUESTIONS ASKED..old school fighters define what boxing should be about now..no bull**** just fight

    Alotta guys in the past didn't get opportunities when they should have too it wasn't all perfect back then but right now we gotta admit boxing is at a lowpoint.

      Money has been probably the biggest factor for many decades, it is nothing new

      As a response to the UFC, it is not a sport. And i've also been waiting for Fedor-Lesnar for years.

      UFC is MMA's Top Rank

        Boxing has a long history of boxers ducking, cherrypicking, fighters backing out, etc.

        You just don't know the history and are longing for a time that never existed.

          Back in the day guys wouldnt quit the fight because of a slightly head butt like devon alexander just did.

          And UFC is not a sport, and the best still don't fight the best in the UFC. Fedor never fought lesnar as champ, overeem won't fight fedor, edgar won't fight aldo, couture never got his shot at fedor.

              Its all about developing and then milking a fanbase so you can make $$$ for as long as you can not fighting the best and being great, where you been Larry?
