Very well said. These guys truly were fighters.

Was watching both Frazier/Foreman fights again, and the way they were seriously trying to KO each other (not "last the round" and "win on points") made me miss those days of boxing.

Boxing has no sense of history anymore. It's no longer about boxers fighting for the prestigious 8 titles ... it's 60 different titles, 5 different divisions, with every boxer thinking "he" is the big deal rather than the title.

Scroll back and watch Sugar Ray Robinson, the work ethic and level of comp, and boxing has lost anything close to that now.

They fought for a living ... multiple times every year ... they didn't only fight once/twice per year ...
