    That's what most of us are... I wasn't hardcore into boxing until like 02. I knew stuff and occasionally watched fights but was into other **** too much to follow.

    I actually started off sort of idolizing Mayweather.

    Then I went back and checked out a ton of fights... then I bought "when we were kings" and have been a hardcore ali fan ever since... granted it's only been like 8 years, I own every thing I can find on Ali.

    Modern boxing is my best subject...but I know a fair bit about when the Fabulous Four were about because my dad used to drill it into me when I was younger. He had tonnes of boxing books...but anything before Duran, Hagler, Hearns and Leonard...and anything inbetween that point and the late 80's/early 90's is a little sketchy.

    There was a thread about the 35th anniversary of the Thriller in Manila about today...I posted the documentary in it because the thread was ignored.

    I tend to know a fair amount about certain fighters and not a whole lot about others but i wouldnt say id stick to any one era.For instance ive seen a lot of De La Hoya or Jack Dempseys fights but not a lot of julio cesar chavez's

    The thread in Classic didn't fare well either. Before my bump an hour ago it had three posts in twelve hours.

    OMG! :lol: Link?

    Someone thought there was a boxer active today that could hang with Frazier or Ali? :rofl

    edit: that was lazy of me to ask, n/m (you even said it's the same thread starter). http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257673

    Yes Wlad would at least be a viable contender not saying he would beat them as that is for another thread.

    Ali would starch that mofo but he would give frazier a good shot until his heart succumbs to his intensity

    I find myself defending WK quite a bit on here and am probably seen by some as a borderline apologist, but Frazier and Ali are a clear cut above (Frazier no less so than Ali, IMO).
