    Im sorry Old school fighters are not automatically the best

    Damn right i love this era and i have been witnessed to some damn great fighters in this era and just cause a fighter fought in black and damn white does not mean they can beat the greats of this era.people watch a few damn old fights that their grand dad told them to watch and act like it is the damn gospel...hell yea there where great fighters back then but damn it there are great fighters from present day as well....it's like a fighter can't get props until he is old or dead............Hell when Sugar Ray Leonard was fighting he was considered a duck and a pre madana just like sugar ray robinson was.now years later they are warriors.they are fighters i have seen that would wipe the floor with some of these old school cats

    Thank you larry for the revelation. I had some malfunction with my tv-set so it only shows black and white and i was wondering why the fighters skills seemed to drop drastically.

    It's probably due to the broadcasts not being in full color.

        Good post. I think most do it as its impossible to prove otherwise.
        To me a lot of the earlier footage I've seen just looks like two drunken old men ballroom dancing. (Not saying there wasn't some great fighters & great fights)

          Jake Lamotta would have been Gatti today so i guess if Gatti fought back then he would be considered a top ATG.................get real

            Maybe he meant pre-Maidana? We all know Marcos is the GOAT warrior.

                  Maidana fought in Colour so he's an ATG.

                  "But what about Morales and Barrera"

                  Larry : "You mean those guys who only fought themselves and Juarez?? They ain't ATG's"

                    I don't think its a troll post, I agree with him personally though I'd say Gatti was more technically able. I think LaMotta was a poor mans Rios
