If You Could Change One Boxing Injustice..What one would it be???

YouTube Chang vs Tokashiki, would post up everything of him on there on this thread but on iPhone and not PC. Sorry pal.

Honestly, Chang would dent my chin in about 2 seconds flat, which is more time than anyone would need to realise they shouldnt have got in the ring with 'The Korean Hawk'.

 

not really an injustice,,, but would have liked to see Naseem Hamed prepare properly for Marco Barrera fight.
(watch Big fight Little Prince documentary)

 

Your being the hypocrite by guessing now, your basing your opinion on Floyd not being able to handle it in any era just because of his hands.
I'll admit, I not seen lots of the old fighters but I seen some, these days the training methods are more upto date, the fighters are better prepared and just because the fighters fought once a month doesnt mean they are better quality.
Nowadays you just wouldnt be able to fight once a month because the authorities would stop you and does that mean they are any lesser fighters?? and the referees are more stricter and the gloves have more padding these days for the fighters safety so thats a stupid argument.
If Floyd Mayweather lived in another era you would be arselicking him like your doing to the old fighters now.

 

Clutching at straws

 

At least you admit your doing it mate!!!

 

Trust me, if you had a more in depth knowledge of boxing history, you wouldn't find Floyd that impressive, and wouldn't say he could handle it 'in any era'.

 

I agree with you mate.

Sportspeople adapt.

It's a bit like saying Frank Lampard couldn't cope against Billy Bremner or that Jack Charlton would beat the **** out of Jermain Defoe.

Of course given the conditions that are in place in any given era dictate that football is now softer than in the 1970's, but also faster. Players used to be able to get away with drinking half a dozen beers a couple of times a week and being a smoker.

Unless there are extentuating circumstances, such as heavyweights from a previous era now generally fitting into a cruiserweight division.... perhaps factoring in same day weigh ins as opposed to the modern previous day method....

It's nonsense to suggest that a 5'10'' 13st heavy from 1920 would be able to beat a 6'5'' 17st Riddick Bowe more than a couple of times out of 10.

But with lower weights, it's certainly not unreasonable to suggest that the likes of Floyd, Pacquiao, Hopkins and many others could be competitive against fighters from days gone by.

Clearly many fighters that are paper champions - by that I mean getting an alphabelt and hanging onto it for dear life couldn't of course.

 

Do you mean you agree with me lol?

 

I wasn't referring to any technical deficiency, rather that fighters of this age need to do a whole lot to be ranked alongside their coutnerparts from eras gone by.

Floyd; hasn't done.

 

Floyd is a 5 weight world champion, one of only a handful to achieve that, what more can one person achieve?? Not many of your goldenboys achieved that.

 

A five weight World champion

Exactly what I mean.

 

Or yeah I forgot its nothing being a 5 weight world champion, Ray Leonard, Ray Robinson were both multi weight world champions but because they did it, its best thing since sliced bread.

 

Honestly pal, you don't know what you're talking about.

Do some research and see if you feel the same.

Would you say Floyd is a top 20 fighter?

 

Hitman - lot more weight divisions nowadays.

 

Yes you.

Even though you are a Cas fan :twisted:
