    ??? Why not?? Sands was not a midget Welterweight that became the usual case that defeated SRR.

    :lol: @ Comparing boxers to horses.

    And you should have really used the human's 100m time if you wanted to go down tired old road.

    Winning times from Freddie and Dave's day werent that much different.

    Get today's sprinters to run on the same tracks and wearing the same shoes, and clothes, then you'd get an idea or put JC Owens on todays tracks wearing the latest scientific equipment.

    There is little doubt sports like Athletics and Football have evolved as they have become more scientific and professional. These sports have measurable improvements, you can actually see the times etc getting better.

    But boxing aint those sports...Comparing them is ridiculous.

    I'm sounding like a broken down record with the amount of times I have said this...but for all the things that have progressed in boxing, and some things have, more have regressed.

    I used to not believe it...but I got convinced by the evidence that was staring me in the face and I just needed people more experienced to show me.

    You'll come around mate...Trust me. I was exactly like you as a youngster.

    Rock,

    A relative of mine managed to buy me a copy of Fammo's book 'The Method' this week - after I'd actually given up all hope of ever getting hold of one - they are now bloody hen's teeth!

    It's even signed by The Man (Fammo that is, not that other wannabie).
