There are certainly fighters today just as skilled as fighters in the past.
guys like rigo, ward, floyd, pac, jmm and a few others are as skilled as the fighters of the past. but most B and C level fighters aren't as skilled as their counterparts in past eras.

Originally posted by LoadedWraps View PostAs a whole previous eras had a richer talent pool, partially because there was a much larger talent pool to begin with, and today, there simply aren't enough trainers with the technical knowledge to pass on to fighters. More and more you see gold glovers becoming trainers etc and that's awesome in one way but at the same time the absence of true masterful boxing minds training many fighters who are more active than fighters are today even at the championship level has an effect on the way boxing is taught and the methodologies passed on in many places.
I truly believe the upcoming fighters of today are gonna spearhead one of the finest generations to date.

You make me not respect them because you all act like they were something they were not! Just be honest and give them proper credit but dont flat out lie like they had all these damn skills they are bums in comparison keep it funky punk!

Because he is here to get a rise out of people, that's all.
Just another day in Tooools dream world! "peeleft: on you sonny!
go away!
Ray.
I do not HAVE to be involved at some great level to be able to perform a boxing analysis!
And apply common sense!
It's proven by YOU!
For all your credentials, you have NO common sense, and are capable of NO ****ing decent analysis.
You think Jack Dempsey could beat ANYBODY because he had "2 handed power and determination!"
Dempsey.. Who was a sub Cruiser. Who never even fought a decent HW let alone beat one. Amazing stuff there Ray!

Since the 1870's and thought every decade until today, just as you've claimed here.
So I guess, instead of like all other sports, boxing has been getting ****ter and ****ter and ****ter since the moment of it's inception.
Wake up!
This is the first time in history that a major portion of fans have woken up and realised that this is the best era BEFORE the era is in the past!
