Former boxers hating the sport

I disagree about Tyson, he always seemed to give later boxers credit. He hinted strongly that the K's could beat him. The only negatives I've really heard him say are more factual, like they don't fight enough top contenders nowadays (which is true, although this year it looks like that may be starting to change).

Holmes on the other hand never gives credit to any boxer, past or present, unless it 1. He himself 2. Someone he beat or 3. Someone that was beaten by someone he beat. He's the worst of that bitter old champ cliché.

 

Edit

 

To some extent sure, especially with Leonard, but it wasnt anywhere near as prevalent.

 

Mike was a BULLY

When he saw he couldn't beat Holy, he packed his check and headed for the exit DQ

Thanks god for Atlas who put a gun to his head to teach the POS a lesson about real life

 

I think mental toughness is genetic.

 

Conditioning was so poor back then what with the training methods being exactly the same. By the way, here's a picture of Young Peter Jackson from 1900. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young...#/media/File:Young_Peter_Jackson_portrait.jpg

 

I'm not sure about more skilled.

I find many boxers today, particularly at HW lack some of the basic fundamentals. You see it in a number of sports were athletic ability and the pursuit of increasing this has taken precedence over learning the skills of the trade. The decrease in shooting percentage of the mid-range jumper in some basketball players, speed over basic skills in the English football game.

Athlete's are getting bigger, stronger and quicker, but that does not necessarily mean that they are getting more skilled.

 

You are correct,it's called evolution,happens in every sport but you will be hard pressed to make your common sense believed in here,in fact you will be ridiculed ha,funny isn't it

 

Alex I KNOW !! Tony Margarito was innocent of any attempted loading of his gloves. Ive asked everyone involved for any proof they have that he did. Not one iota of PROOF was ever offered

Floyd on the other hand has never offered one credible reason why he was given 750 ml of saline ILLEGALLY!!!! Ask any medical professional if 750 ml is the treatment needed to help a person provide a urine sample They'll laugh & if he needed 750ml of saline he'd be in ICU not a boxing ring 24 hours later
The way you act on here at times I think its more likely IF you had a woman it would be her popping you LOL

 

Glad to know you've asked everyone involved! I was having my doubts until a credible poster like you squashed that ****. I must be dehydrated...

 

Haha just read the bottom of your post, and yes, my woman "pops" me back from time to time but I put her in her place REAL quick. I hit her with that pull counter. :bbb

OK Mr Know it all pay attention 1... That was obviously a mistake in translation. The guy interpreting said " Antonio had no amateur record" This was published nationally in a well known boxing mag no one has ever queried it before. I was relying on my memory as to which fight the interview was held. I'm not a Google/BoxRec expert like you 2...I was a pro boxer my record indeed was 12-1-8kos, but as a LIGHT Heavyweight. What makes you stamp your little feet is you cant find my record. Its there lol everyone that matters knows it. You dont matter. 3 In my prime I'd have loved a shot at the Roy Jones of today He is merely club fighter level now. 4 Obama didnt recognise the pledge of allegiance till he'd been called on it. He may as well have been reciting mary had a little lamb.

How did you win 19 pro fights if you stated you were 12-1 (8 ko's)? You can't count or something Colin?


Can you plz leave this forum now Fraud..:think

 

No Alex you are either extremely naïve or a mindless troll
I'm not sure which to be honest

 

Because today's era is softer less condotoned more of the business side that takes precedent over meaningful fights Skills have gone backwards it's just not that many feet boxers that's why

 

Idk, you should probably ask everyone involved.
