Boxing = magical?

You're the one who is "trying to find out whose alt" I am and yet, you haven't done such a simple thing as asking me yet. Don't spread your failure to my threads, shy guy.

All of your threads are complete failures from start to finish. I don't think you are anybody's alt. You are an original trouble making ass hole and idiot even worse than Lester and other terrible posters.

Two of boxing scene's biggest idiots agreeing with each other.

What? I'm an idiot for what? Because I am of the educated conclusion that boxing (like every other athletic sport) has evolved over the years? How about you actually address the points made, rather than resorting to Ad Hominem attacks? Since it exposes you of being the true 'idiot'.

Somehow having a different opinion than others = being an idiot according to this clown.

It is okay for you to say this, but as you can see on the posts above, it's not okay for new members to say it without being labelled as trolls. It's as if there is some secret demand on this site for all of its members to act ******ed and biased in order to not be called trolls by the white World of Warcraft-playing members here who are sick of getting bullied by the black kids at school....

It has evolved but there is a glitch in this matrix....Fundamentals has digressed in the sport as well; so this argument is multisided

When I watch the 80's and 90's it was clearly the steroids age; everybody in their mother looking like body builders, fighting in wars, and super fast off eye throwing a million shots.......


Although the Sport has evolved in 2018; the best of this time the Floyd's and Manny's have a tough time with some of those guys then, what has happening in those smaller divisions weren't natural; it wasn't natural period, Tyson wasn't natural off eye, holyfield etc


Now the skill and fundamental has digress so much in the sport I cant say them older heavies couldn't deal with the heavies today...Random jobbers from the 80's-90s looked like serious threats and fought to the death then.....IDK I waver all over the place on this issue, so that I cant form a concise opinion on it..... great thread funny as this topic recently crossed my mind watching old fights

It's not just in boxing, but plenty of other sports too where there exists a cult of nostalgia worship among fans of past era sports and athletes. As if they were super humans compared to modern athletes. These fans are involved in a act of religious worship, trying to convince themselves that the world has somehow stopped / come to a standstill and athletes as times have passed, somehow haven't improved at all and have remained the exact same or even declined. Utter nonsensical speculation.

The onus is upon them to prove that ancient athletes are superior to modern athletes. The onus is not upon us to prove that modern athletes are superior to ancient ones. Since we're currently already living in the modern world and not the ancient world and since we're constantly seeing athletes in multiple sports breaking previous world records at a regular basis.

Just take a look at past heavyweights around the size of Alexander Povetkin or smaller. The likes of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Muhammad Ali and etc. They were all losing by the same age that Povetkin is now to low level heavyweights and journeymen like Danny Williams, Kevin McBride, Leon Spinks, James Toney and etc. Meanwhile, modern day small heavyweight Alexander Povetkin has already proven to be superior to all those past heavyweight champions around his own size by not losing to such level of opposition ever in his career, even at the old age when they started losing. For example, at age 38, Povetkin destroyed David Price whilst past his best. Whereas at age 38, Mike Tyson was getting destroyed by inferior boxers to David Price like Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. And Evander Holyfield was getting destroyed by inferior heavyweights to David Price like James Toney and so forth so on. Proving how heavyweight boxing has totally evolved and advanced!
