People on here think being older gives you seniority on boxing knowledge. So it's hip to claim an older age.
There are plenty of younger guys that know more about boxing and various things than older people.
But your claim in age is bogus. I may have been born in '67 but my memories only go back to around 74-75 at the earliest and my first boxing memory is when I went to see Bobby chacon fight bazooka limon live at the Sacramento memorial auditorium as a teenager.

Great stuff. I assume like me, you are a Northern California Chicano from Redding or that area. Nice place to grow up. Great memories.
I am from San Jose, Lee Matheson jr high late 70's. Independence HS, or Kmart high as it was called.
Your opinion really doesn't matter to me, but I find it interesting that I get guys like you every few months. So like me you remember when HBO started and you needed cable to watch great fights.
I always liked Chacon, and Limon, plus Castillo and many others.
But Sanchez for some reason resonated with me. My older uncles were down with lil Red, they loved his ability to fight back from the brink of destruction and win. When Sanchez got him, I was hooked. The rematch cemented him in my heart.
I had no idea getting old was cool. I ****ing hate it.Last edited by Zaroku; 06-04-2016, 11:04 PM.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostEh, I disagree. I'm nearly 40 and I am far more intelligent, happy, and successful than I was 10 years ago. I took care of myself so I look as good or better. Really depends how you live I suppose but I have a natural respect for people that are older. When you said you were 50 I, without thinking about it, took you more seriously.
You have to realize people claim older because in their mind it gives them more credit with others about things.
See you thinking he is 50 has you already thinking better about him. The guy is just a troll though.

I get this old man smell from behind my ears and I don't like it. I tell my family, I lost that new car smell 5 years ago.
I don't heal as fast, or recover from workouts like I used to.
10 years ago, it was all good.
