      Whether you are or aren't is immaterial: You're acting in the same generational narcissistic manner with the same immature butthurt histrionics that characterize the terminally stunted and shamelessly ignorant but nauseatingly self-important all too typical of younger "fans" in NSB.

      In short: GROW THE **** UP LARRYX

        It is intellectually and analytically dishonest and its done by the vanguards of old school golden age fighters to preserve their history.

        The most glaring example is this guy:



        How can you take this seriously? How can you take a guy with two sets of records; offiicial & newspaper record, seriously?


        Historians and older boxing fans love to talk about the "Golden Age" of boxing and how pure and so much better it was when in reality the golden age of boxing was the most crooked era in all of boxing.

        Referees as judge, jury, and executioner. Mob Controlled fights. Black fighters not given title opportunities and when given get royally screwed. How can a black fighter get a fair shake in the "Golden Era" when he cant even get a fair shake when it comes to his most basic civil rights?



        When we see list done by boxing "historians" its littered with past great white hopes.








        Its all done to preserve history.

        There's a reason why as civil rights started getting momentum, the number of great white fighters started declining. In fact, this happened in almost all sports especially basketball and baseball.

        Today is not as bad and back then wasnt all its cracked up to be.
        That sparring is pretty atrocious. Someone like Jermain Taylor would spark his ass out.

          forgive me for wanting video evidence when ranking athletes from the 20s & 30s. Im such a horrible human being for being skeptical of a inferior era athletically.


          & you of all people telling me to grow up?

          dude you're in your 40s using pink font and typing your screen name after every post in a boxing website.

          Go look in the fvkcing mirror first before handing out sage life advice to strangers on the internet.

          • burt sugar was the worst for talking on and on about fighters he never seen fight, people knew he was old so thought he saw them fight but if you do the math on when he was born (1937) he was only 13/14 when marciano became champion and wasnt even born yet for all of the dempsey fights he went on and on about. he didnt have any greater insight than anyone else, he watched the same damn grainy film clips and read the news paper articles on them that everyone else read.

                It isn't supposed to be taken seriously, it was a joke sparring session between two friends, one of which was an old man, you can even see Greb laughing in the footage.

                  I'm not the one throwing the e-temper tantrum: You are. You might want to take some time out from your narcissistic preening and ponder that before telling others to look in a mirror. Then again, since you're so shallow and hung up on appearances as to actually CARE what font someone is using you probably aren't capable of such feats of intellectual introspection :hand9:

                    do you have any idea how many more boxers there were in say, the 50's?

                    more fighters = more talent.

                      says the guy who signs off after every post. & throwing a e tantrum? im not the one who came into a thread and started the insults.

                      You have a rich extensive history of narcissistic preening here on the scene.

                      Do i need to post your def poetry jam sessions?

                      talk about narcissistic preening.


                      shut it you pathetic tub of lard.
