There are age requirements on ESB:

Lounge: 12 yrs old
Forum homepage: 14 yrs old
Boxing Forum: 16 yrs

Unfortunately, the mods do not police these requirements, so a lot of children slip in.

A few thing about this quote;

1) How many new threads have to be made about this?

2) Klitlickers who only days ago was calling Tyson names like "thug" and "crackhead" not to mention questioned his intelligence, now proclaims him to by some type of boxing guru.

3) People never quote the whole article, they leave out why Mike did the interview in the first place . . . He was promoting a show. Now would it make more sense for him to seem gracious and generous or seem like some with a chip on his shoulder. It appears by saying kind things about the bros and the division that Iron Mike has created a whole new set of fans.

4) Its Funny because I bet the ones on here who NEVER have a nice word to say about Black fighters will be the first in line to see his show . . . yes Mike is a very smart man.

(Also, he said that he could beat today's heavyweights. Joe said he could beat Tyson and in reality it would be a pick'em fight. He is bigger than Marciano but he never said he was better (that was also being gracious).

The truth is that people that have followed boxing for decades and have seen many greats know Mike would have his way in today's division and that the quality in the division has diminished greatly.

I think the *heavyweight scene is pretty good right now, Tyson says.

The Klitschkos are doing great. They are beating everyone. Its not their fault that there is not enough competition.

What David Haye did in Munich when he had that brawl with Chisora, that was not good. That was the kind of stupid stuff I once did.
I thought that when I was watching it. No one did as much as me to bring boxing low.
Haye and Chisora would have had to go some to beat what I did. At least Haye didnt bite anyones ear off. They've got to do a bit more to get down to the level I was at. What they did was nothing.

But I dont buy the idea that todays fighters are not as good as the old fighters. If you had asked Joe Frazier if he could beat me when I was at my best, he would have said hell, yes. Thats the way boxing goes.

I think I could beat the next generation of fighters but the reality of history is that the fighters get better and better, bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger.

I was bigger than Rocky Marciano and I was not even one of the big guys in my generation.
