Why is it that when people compare Floyd or manny to past fighters?

[MRBOOMER]

Its impossible on this board to have any real discussion about yesterday's greats vs todays greats. ANy argument you make is never debated. You are just labeled as a fan of the new guy because thats the easiest way to refute an argument.

This is the best answer on here lol.

I am convinced "thehayemaker" is an ALT of "tennis legend". Who Knows? this ****tard could be one too.

Is it my imagination or has the trolling been ratcheted up a notch the past week or so? And if so, I wonder why.

Exactly. When people talk about "favoring the past" what they're admitting to is that they favor the present.

What is "the past"? we're talking about decades and decades of time, and it just all get's lumped into one term "the past"; everything from the early 90's to the 40's?

Most of the people who say this have a bias for the present, which can not in principle feature anywhere near as many great fighters because it's just a snippet of time.

Exactly. I would be willing to bet as well that those same people only say those things because they think it's cool to be different and pretend Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao in any way compare to Sugar Ray Leonard.

I'm beginning to wonder what is happening lately as well. People seem to be completely out of their minds.

You just said they'd be "The best of the best in any era"







First you said they'd be the best of the best now you're saying they would compete with anyone.

But it's sad that you rate them so highly because they're the first boxers you've witnessed and are so ignorant to other fighters from older eras.

this is what posters do who have no argument.try to belittel you like they are just so much smarter than you.its hilarious

people need to accept the fact that manny and floyd are ATG'S meaning they can be the best of the best in any damn era

There isn't a single person denying they are ATGs, there are only people telling other people common sense, which is that Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns are greater fighters that would beat them. Then we get accused of only favoring them because they are "in the past" which is the ******est crap someone could say.

Some ATGs are simply better than others and would kick the crap out of them. Accept that.
