If boxingscene were around in the 70's......

[ronniejunior]

It would be broken down into 3 groups:

Ali-tards
Joemos
Foreskins

lol @foreskins...

You can argue that Floyd is also a "boxing God" in today's era, but he was hated for the same thing Ali was; personality and attitude. If they had boxingscene back then, you'd hear a bunch of flag waving Americans criticizing Ali to no end about him not joining the military and certain pro-black comments and choices he would make. Actually the hate Ali would have gotten had the internet been around would have been out of this world and would have made Floyd seem like a loved public figure.

Floyd doesn't compare at all to the level of praise Ali was receiving at a similar point in his career.

****** thread. And the funny thing they think the 70's wasn't racist and that the people were intelligent when it came to boxing.

its part of human nature to romanticize the past, even if people had their own unique sets of issues and problems. they mostly tend to remember the good things and thus paint a rosy picture based on that.

personally, if boxingscene was in the 70's, things WOULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME. (possibly a bit more racist though)

there would be both fans and extreme haters of ali, foreman etc.,

you would have some groups dedicated to downplay ALL accomplishments of either fighters.

whenever a popular fighter uttered an inflaming speech or got involved in a controversy, multiple threads would be made regarding that single incident.

you'd see a lot of phrases like "groovy maaan!" or "can you dig it?" or "far out!".

somehow, star wars would be included in the topic.

"I dig it" would replace co-sign. There would be plenty of Farrah Fawcett and Pam Grier signatures. There would probably be a Yoda alt that "talked" like him, or a Chewbacca alt that would just growl...and now that I mentioned it someone will probably do it

Black Panthers and KKK all over this f***ing place. The Ban Stick would be in over his head.

Star Wars never goes out of style, it transcends eras and generations.
In the 70's Manny is probably a Joe-mo in Manila and probably uses several alts to troll Ali-tards on a daily basis when he isn't training, Do we have a documented date for the creation and or sighting of the first *******? Let me google this, it must be in the National Geographic or Wiki or something..

You speak like an idiot.

Asians and Hispanics were dominating the lower weights in the 70's.

Me as a Korean-American would be cheering for Hong Soo-hwan.

Filipinos on the other hand would cheer for Gabriel “Flash” Elorde.

And for the Hispanics this website will be flooded by Carlos Monzon fans and many more.

Really, if the internet existed back then the spread for being famous would have been equal and not just an American coverage.
