How did the fighters of before do it ???

I remember reading somewhere that Jake Lamotta had been taking a drug which was a precursor to today's steroids. However, it made him bloated so he had to work harder to lose weight.

 

People get softer the more society develops. These guys like dempsey poured brine into their skin to make it tougher. Gren fought 300 professional fights and then fought at bars at night while drunk, with one eye.

It is just the softening of people generally and the food that we eat now makes us fatter, life was more simple then

 

:yep & desperate:deal

 

:deal

:deal

 

Gee, Maybe fighters back in the day just worked hard??

I mean all this **** now and you would think fighters would be miles better than the old timers, but no.

I watch roided HW's and the ****ers are gassing after 3 rounds, and I get **** suckers trying to tell me Vlad would destroy every HW in history.

Too much money in the sport has led people to take the path of least resistance on a lot of different levels.

 

Peanut butter.

 

generally speaking, people from the old school had a much, much tougher standard of living, and therefore, they were tougher individuals, and way more was on the line for them.

 

How ear back you going because peole have been cheating for awhile

 

This.

Generations just seem to get more pussified as time goes on it seems.

 

absence of choice...no other options

 

our generation is pussified

 

The pace was slower in the olden days - modern boxers are likely much better athletes. That said, I believe the old school guys were mentally tougher and that there was a greater pool of talent coming into boxing.
