New Age Boxing "fans" are so disrespectful...

[bigcursedawg]

Look you have to be honest here boxers from the 1900's to the 1960's did not fight the same kind of technically sound fighters from the 60's and up. SSR wasnt really fighting guys were training since they were 6yrs old like todays fighters

Yeah they only trained to go 15 rounds too.

I'm only 21 but I have trained and study the sport's history and
basically an expert on it.

New Generation "fans" have no respect, proper perspective or knowledge for or of the past accomplisments, pioneers, innovators, champs, great legends, and warriors of the past.


Heres some of the bullshi iv'e heard or been told through the years......

"Oh Manny Pacquiao is the modern day Henry Armstrong!"

"Floyd Mayweather invented the pullcounter technique!"

"Joe Frazier was a one handed Boxer!"

"Sugar Ray Robinson was not as skilled as Floyd Mayweather!"

"Jake Lomatta, Gene Fullmer, and Rocky Graziano were nothing brawling bums!"

etc....


I can go on and on....


Roger Mayweather sounds like a genius man when he says "Most people don't know **** about Boxing!"

you are a true boxing fan & i am very pleased to read this thread because you hit it right on the button...the one's with the least knowledge & show the most disrespect are the klitschko fans...

[joe strong]

You should go back in time and warn the older fans instead of attacking freezer and his dad!

But in all seriousness I do agree with you in general! That being said I see it more so with mma fans then I do see it with boxing fans.

Boxing fans are more respectful towards old school boxers!

Also in todays day and age ppl are just full of chit and there bunch of know it all, they think wikipidea/internet is be all end all and they dont really follow a boxers career and therefore its all about highlight reel on internet thus they fail to educate themselves on past fighters history and the various forms of boxing they used to get to the top!

yes i agree with you too. too many boxingrec historians here. see a guy losses 4 times & he is a bum, he is overrrated, etc...they don't watch their careers & many klitschko fans are exactly like that...everyone sucks but them...lol! fly by night fans

I just can't stand when people talk like experts about things they are clueless on. If you don't know, then don't pretend you do.

There's a happy medium, some guys give the old guys to much respect and say ****** ***** like Bob Fitzsimmons would KO Roy Jones. Whereas other people favour modern fighters and say ****** ***** like Mayweather would easily beat Ray Robinson.

There's a nice and pleasant middle line which everyone steps either side of.

Most of them fans you are talking about have not only never boxed a day in their life but have never even been in a single fight in their life, not even a school yard brawl. Most of them are still living with mummy and spend all their time in front of the pc because they are too scared to go outside.

Ya'll can end the thread right here...

That's purely speculation.

Well it is hard to understand & realize the history of the sport when fans have to constantly make excuses for the fighters they support now. SRL & Hearns would have been nailed to a cross if both sat at 147 & refused to fight.

But now we got Floyd & Pacman both staking out 1 corner of the once prestigious 147 & fighting guys they're supposed to beat & having their fans defend them. While they give it to em dry & are loved for it.

Arum needs to be nailed to a cross....and Pac buried at his feet like the exploited lap dog he is..

IT'S BOB...

Cotto just admitted Arum NEVER mentioned a Mayweather fight to him...even while he was telling the media Floyd was ducking him..

Soon as Cotto leaves TR he gets Mayweather ( and his biggest payday ever)..

That is no coincidence...

Teddy Atlas said it best last night:

"Why can't he leave Arum and promote the Mayweather fight himself?.....he's the biggest name in boxing..he doesn't need a promoter"

I see you talking about arum & Pacman but conveniently left out Floyd. Like he didn't do his part by claiming Pacman was on peds without a smudge of proof.

Don't develop amnesia now homey. When Pacman was hot as hell laying waste to Cotto & Hatton Floyd was the 1 making excuses. But as soon as Pacman got his a$$ whooped & got a gift against Marquez, all of a sudden Floyd wanted the fight.

If you can't keep it real, leave my post alone. Both are 2 blame. Floyd included.
