why is it ok for older generation fighters to fight bums but not the new generation?

[iamboxing]

Ali: "Joe, you really think you coulda whipped me?"
Louis: "When I had the title, I went on what they called a bum-of-the-month tour."
Ali: "You mean I'm a bum?"
Louis: "You woulda been on the tour."

As a true boxing fan I wanna see competitive fights ...fights that are hard to predict

I am able to analyse a fighters skill level and determine whether a fight is a mismatch

Loma vs marriaga---mismatch---bad fight. Was 1/100 fa at bookies and next to no1 voted for maraiaga in poll

No one is saying older fighters shouldn't have to face tough opposition if they hold a belt...no one would defend PAC if he beat horn and if he fought a non-farewell fight that isn't againat crawford
