I watch a fair amount but certainly not as much as I did in the past. In that respect I'm like a lot of folks.

Let's try to find common ground here by going back to my original post.

1) Would u agree that by and large today's athletes are much better than athletes from 30 to 40 years ago? My sense is u believe I'm trying to do the classic old man "back in my day" routine. In no way am I doing that. I'm admitting that today's athletes are clearly better than guys from back in the day.

2) Would u also agree that it is very difficult to argue that today's top heavyweights are as good as the legends from 30 to 40 years ago ie Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson and Lewis? If u disagree here then please give me a better rationale than some dude has a puncher's chance.

Let's agree to disagree on the welterweights/middleweights. IMO those guys were legends but you seem to give them short shrift. As much as u question my current boxing acumen I have to wonder how closely u watched those guys back in the day.
