    Boxing hasn't changed, just one division has. The lower division, still has talent because people that weigh 160 lbs(or less) don't have many sports that they can make a living off of. The problem is the heavyweight division, where big men have so many other options. The great athletes do not go into boxing any longer. You can make excuse after excuse and say whatever but it's the truth. A sad truth but still, it's the truth.

      The common denominator of all those fights you mentioned is that both fighters came to fight.

      It doesn't matter what "era" it is, when one fighter decides to spoil and survive it's not gonna be a good night of boxing.

      Maybe you could say there are more "spoilers" today just content and picking up their paycheck. But nostalgia is kind to fights of the past. The good ones get remembered and the bad ones forgotten. I'm sure as the years go by nostalgia will be kind to this era too.
