Im sorry Old school fighters are not automatically the best

I guess a person who only watches floyd WOULDN'T know about anything about heart.
He walks around like he's the **** after he ducked the entire welterweight division. I would respect him more if he just admitted it to all the people he ducked. Instead of acting like he's jesus when he hasn't had a real defining performance since coralles.
And no, beating a shot cotto(who wasn't even really that good in the first place) isnt a career defining performance, sorry.Last edited by Paclan; 05-21-2012, 02:47 PM.Comment

Did you guys know when you retire you automtically become an old school fighter?
I didn't.
But Larry "I LIVE BOXING" X knew.
I didn't know.
Kotenik is so overrated. People say he beat Alexander just because he's old school and Alexander is a new boxer with advanced training and diet.Comment

This is my take on the old school vs new school thing.
I think that people, no matter what age or where they are from always consider the things of their generation better than anyone else's because they simply identify with them.
For example, the shows I grew up with bring a nostalgia that kids younger than me can't understand. I also think that historians like Bert Sugar was really guilty of propping up old school fighters just because they were old and legendary.
It's hard to compare fighter vs fighter, what should be done is compare them to their own era's and that's the only fair way of doing things.
There are great fighters now and then but there are better weight classes depending on decade. For example, I think middle weights were incredible in the 80's while heavy weights were at their best in the 70's for example.
Welters in the late 80's to mid 90's....that kind of thing.Comment

Floyd's heart is hugely under rated (at least in the ring), people seem to forget the C. Hernandez bout.I guess a person who only watches floyd WOULDN'T know about anything about heart.
He walks around like he's the **** after he ducked the entire welterweight division. I would respect him more if he just admitted it to all the people he ducked. Instead of acting like he's jesus when he hasn't had a real defining performance since castillo.
And no, beating a shot cotto isnt a career defining performance, sorry.Comment

He has heart against people he knows he can beat.
What about the real challenges? If you put a real atg like roberto duran's mind into floyd's body, he would have all(or most of them) fought cotto, margarito ,mosley ,wright, williams 5 years ago,
and he would have already made the fight with Pacquiao and Martinez.Last edited by Paclan; 05-21-2012, 02:57 PM.Comment
