i know man, i feel'ya....i'm only 24 years old, and anything before about 1990, i just watch with joy and dont really comment on it...i take what i can from people who are older than me as knowledge....i'll be damned if some 24 yr old punk in 2026 tries to argue with me about the 90's era of boxing but take rappers for example....they study the art in and out, just wondering why most boxers dont.....
I honestly dont kno, but its mostly the older rappers that study the game from the 80's till now or even 70's b/c they can see how the game is changing. THe new artists are like you and I who there time was a young Jay-Z, a young Nas, etc. They would have to go buy old albums to get caught up on the 80's. Same with you my era is the 1990's so I kno more about that as oppose to the older ages. I learned somethings from what my father and grandfather told me about older fighters. But I will never be as knowledgable as some1 who lived during the time to experience it
I can't agree with this really. I get what your saying but, for people like that (me being one), where we work is not a hobby. It's not a sport. It dosen't capture the imagination of millions of people worldwide and make us into icons because were brilliant at it. Fair enough if boxers don't watch fights the whole time or have a boxrec type of knowledge about the sport. But to be a fighter and not a fan:huh That's ****ed up
A lot of athletes are only interested in fast cars and fast woman. They may often be very smart but just not interested in scientific things at all. They are missing out though because boxing is the best sport to understand human behaviour.
