    I remember a conversation a while back on ESPN from Colin Cowherd :D where he basically talked about some of the nostalgia built up over the years from Gandpa with "In my day, blah, blah, blah." And then topped it off with basically saying...you can't lie no more. We have youtube/internet.

    So that makes me wonder about all the stories I read about all these great boxers with God-like skill. Are they true or was it true then but not compared to now like Grandpa wants us to believe they were better "back in my day."

    Now with Boxing, I've always found it interesting because I can find fighters back in the day better than modern fighters. But how far back is to far back...Hmmm.

    But all to often with "some," it seems modern day fighters or the next generation is not as good as "in my day"....

    So if You Can, post up videos of fights as far back as you can find.
    Any will do

    And then discuss "if" they could compete with eras that followed.
