    Plainly you haven't been around long and haven't seen much.

    Read more. Talk less, and become informed.

    60 years ago,you had respect for your opponent,even if you belted him,cause he stood up for himself,he didnt count on 20 odd mates doin it for him,60 years ago students had respect for their teachers,60 years ago boxers climbed through the ropes most times not knowing anything about their opponent,& didnt care,they were a tougher breed those days simply cause they had to be

    dont know if i would say better as the sports evolved somewhat since then however i would say more willing and more gutsy, these guys would fight anyone anytime for very little money and did it for the sport. It didnt matter if they won lost or draw they just loved getting in there to fight. Few guys like this left anymore, on the tit for to long perhaps lol?

    ffs there are some real romantics on here obviously wearing incontinance pads delirious in the uphoria of altzheimers conjuring up unlikely history while somehow being allowd access to the interweb in there nursing homes

    whats the average age on the site 85

    either makeing up stories to fill the void that is a useless life in full time care or your all wanking each others dicks in agreement about **** which no of you would remember from the streets 60 years back

    Very good. It's liberating to walk down the street without fear of the 'ocassional' mess.

    For you, walking down the street without dragging your knuckles on the ground would be equally liberating.

    How is life in female underwear?

    being strikingly handsome and ouzing with charm i have no trouble getting into womans underwear thanks for asking

    do you need a tip or two old man

    bet it would get messy flailing around in an old womans diaper down at the nursing home wishing that viagra had worn off to save the humiliation of it all

    Your humbleness is clearly limited.

    Now, young man, take this on board. I've courted each individual nurse on night shift. Viagra?? Oh, that new fangled blue pill... yes, I'm familiar with it. My physicial has made recommendations for myself to presribe the use of Viagra, suggesting I may only have an erection for a period of 18 hours?? Persish the thought....

    Oh, one more thing.. even at my age, I still enjoy my sex life. Some weeks I only have sex twice a day.

    So-called fighters these days get their knickers in a twist if they don't have colour coodinated gear, their 'ring-entrance' music isn't right and if their hair is out of place.

    ****ing please, give me the old time fighters anyday.

    And before anyone jumps up - old time fighters would be just as good today if they were in the modern era as they would evolve with training and dietary requirements of today also.

    They had more ****ing heart back then - in spades!!

    So true. Atleast Stadiums Ltd. had the control of the sport, which relied on spectators, which relied on quality matches.... which relied on the williness to fight EVERY ranked contender.

    FFS, have a listen to 'junior genius' here.

    You wouldn't know history if it bit you on the arse.

    We've seen no-nothings like yourself here before, and they get laughed out pretty quickly.
