YESTERDAY, Nunn, Barkley, Dennis Milton, Micky Ward...

It's one post on a boxing forum calm down.

Yeah, man, its a little dramatic for ONE post that includes a VIDEO of a top champ like Iran Barkley (THREE titles in three weight classes...legendary win over Tommy...this IS boxing...

The proper forum is Boxing History

And had you identified in your 1st post that this was the issue you had, the response from most here would have most likely been different.

Maybe that was your intent, but that's not what was communicated. Instead, you went in on 'living in the past'.

It's all good, but it just seemed unnecessary.

Boxing is full of old men yelling get off my lawn. And we wonder why UFC is so popular among the youth. Old judges who can't score fights. Old referees who can't control a fight. Old promoters. Old commentators. Everything in boxing is old. It's like the Republican party. Our base is dying off. We need an injection of youth into the sport. Constantly looking back won't do that. Young people don't wanna constantly hear how everything was better back in the day. I know I hated hearing that from my parents. I notice in all other sports the youth will defend the players of their generation. In boxing they defend the fighters of decades past. Ask a 27 year old who's better, Jordan or LeBron. They'll say Lebron. Boxing fans talk about how fighters they've never seen before are better than the current fighters. It's crazy!

I get your point, but it's not really a competition though.

You can love Mike Trout and still respect Babe Ruth. You can love Aaron Rodgers or Adrian Peterson and still respect Joe Montana or Walter Payton. Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry don't change how great Isaiah Thomas was.

There is room for both. You can't wipe away 100 years of boxing history just because you only want to talk about the 'new hot thing'.

It's a continuum.

I will keep doing reunions...hopefully Michael and Iran and Dennis get to meet up together at one of them...

It'd be good to see some clips of these guys meeting up with some of their former opponents to hang out, talk boxing, share some stories. They should get more active on social media and talk with the fans like Shannon Briggs.

Shann is definitely on the right track with all that...the PEOPLE feel a connection to him...

Funny thing is, NSB is advertised as "all things boxing". Most of us want to see and read these things. The ones that don't can just skip it.

https://youtu.be/9QNxNLEvmmo ...YESTERDAY @ my 4th Official Amateur Boxers Reunion (at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT)... I made plans with Nunn ahead of time to call me at a designated time so I could surprise former opponents Iran Barkley (world 160 title) and Dennis Milton (1983 USA Sports Festival) with conversations with Michael...in the background you can see the likes of former amateur stars Irish Micky Ward, Lionell Odom, Poison Junior Jones and others...
