    The internet is a great place despite it being a platform for "flat earthers" and Shape up to push their agenda on the gullible.

      In a 15 round fight Carl Froch would smash CoWard
      There was no juice no PEDs no extreme weight cutting but pride and pure Natural power
      Boxers were Farmers construction workers smiths and so on
      They had Great fundamentals and lot of heart

      Today it's just some basic boxing plus juicing and s&c
      Some great guys Are still out there but all in all boxing is a trash comedy these days

        Fighters of the past also ducked each other, Jack Dempsey might have ducked Harry Greb (there is an 'interview' where Dempsey said he wanted nothing of Greb), Floyd Patterson's management didn't want him to fight Sonny Liston (although they fought twice) and for sure there are other occasions.
        Could they do it 20 times in one year?, with injuries?

                You are free to think what you want. The truth of the matter is we both kick you around often. It's no wonder you're crossed and think we are one in the same

                    A lot of modern fighters would benefit from the 15 round fights. Out of the active fighters Golovkin for example. I doubt that Jacobs and Canelo would last 3 more rounds with him. Especially Jacobs was completely exhausted after the final bell.

                      Eastern Euros would benefit from the old school type of boxing the most. Most of them have extensive amateur background and are used to fight very often. Loma, Usyk, Gvozdyk, Golovkin etc. Other than few exceptions like the vodka drinking version of Kovalev they mostly have great cardio too and would benefit from the 15 round fights like Golovkin, Provodnikov... Loma doesn't seem to have any cardio problems either and gets better as the fight goes on.

                      Marco Huck was also a type of boxer who would be a legend in the old school days. He would fight anybody anytime.
