    Even Mike Tyson admitted Jack Johnson was a badder man than he was.

          Ok I’m sorry my rant is over. It’s ****ing cold outside and it was a long walk to the bus stop to go to work. Sorry I didn’t mean to actually offend anyone. It was all banter but I do care about history that’s what I studied in college. But please I request I’m not banned for talking ****. I apologize if I offended anybody..

            An emotional drug addict hero-worshipping his idols is meant to convince us that athletes in every modern sport have not vastly improved from their predecessors?

            You can give respect to the OGs without being deluded about their capabilities in the ring.

            Heard of the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants"?

            Newton and Leibniz invented calculus, yet the average high school graduate today is taught more than they ever knew.

            This will make you upset: Tyson would have KO'd Ali inside 3 rounds.

              Facts mike fought mutiple people who were outboxers who were less flawed and more advanced then ali who wasnt even tech and did mutiple stuff that he got away with cause his comp was lacking

              1 name is tyrell did mutiple stuff ali never did
              Tyrell would be the top guy in 70s

              The trainers have all taught their fighters to be a combo of tyrell like fighters and added to that

              No trainer since 60s have taught their boxer to be like ali his style was way to basic compared to people like tyrell which was why he had trouble with henry/Frazier who were the most skilled fighters ali ever fought

              Nobody ali fought ever would give mike trouble or tyrell or others mike fought cause of the advances in the era

                Bias how its the truth if you can see good or seen those in 40s they look like I said horrible

                Isn't that this topic primitive boxers which means 40s-when boxing started of course it looks horrible compared to 70s-now but crazy idiots on this site either have bad vision or hallucinations or both and won't admit it

                  No, and they shouldnt. These OGs were men fighting for a living and for legacy. Todays boxers might be more athletic and talented but they are nothing close to who the OGs were. They prefer to be more diva, entitled, fight once or twice a year, do what their promoter says type pugilists. Majority of this new breed are doing more harm to the sport than good. End of story
