does anyone honestly doubt that technical skills have gotten worse in boxing?

    The topic NOW seems to be that you have no idea what point you're trying to prove in this thread, other than I gave you some butthurt feelings you just can't deal at some point here without even trying.

    So do you not think that todays overall talent pool is inferior to the,

    90's, 80's, 70's 60's, 50's, 40's and 30's

    I mean when you look at the annual ratings of them years, I think its fair to say that it is.

    Actually Mora is a very slick boxer with great defensive skills, but he lacks a big punch.

    But why am telling you, you don't even know how to comprehend his style of defense because you are phsyically incapable of doing it yourself, so you have no sense of balance.

    And because you don't understand balance, you don't understand technique and style, and skill, despite the best fighters in the world consistantly telling people that it's not about speed and strength, but skill.

    But like I said, you don't know **** about boxing.

    Mora's not that elusive, he doesn't have power, his chin is only decent, he's not particularly fast, he's not aggressive... he's just a mediocre type of fighter. He's ok, but nothing to get excited about, and I'm not going to pay to see him fight. Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

    Oh yes. And Jesse Owens would just blow right by Carl Lewis in the 40 yd dash.

    i do, but it has nothing to do with skill level deteriorating. i think guys like pac, klit, jmm, etc... could compete in any era. there is fewer phenoms overall but the ability is not much different.

    I have a blue belt in BJJ, I've trained Muay Thai, I've sparred, I have a heavy bag and a speed bag, I've had my nose broke and a hole punched in my lip you could stick your pinky finger through. All this before I got old and fat, of course

    Where do YOU train?

    Many people have given me some bitter medicine, I've handed some out too. Just the nature of the game son.
