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..

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.Ascended likes this.

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 eraLast edited by Ascended; 11-16-2022, 12:31 PM.

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 itLast edited by Ascended; 11-16-2022, 08:30 PM.

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.
