fighters are wuss's now? please, there have been plenty heavyweights since dempsey that would of killed him.
Back then they would fight twice a month, now twice a year. Back then they were tougher. Now if someone gets headbutted or hit low, they cry and cry to the ref. Back then they would hit them back. If you got your nose broken or broke your hand during the fight, you fought on. If you were on queer street, you fought right back, if you were all bloody and couldn't see you fought on. The last guy I saw do that was Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, and he was in the 80's. Back then it wasn't uncommon at all if you fought the same guy 7 or 8 times. They didn't even start wearing mouth gards until the 20's or 30's.

As much as I want to disagree with that, I can't. 100%

Bill it is 2007!!! LOL. Do you even use cell phones? I can't believe you use a computer either
Yes I use cell phones. And yes, I know its 2007, and yes, I watch the fights now. And yes I know what I'm talking about post 1960. I know a lot pre 2000.

good post bill but it still doesnt mean those old fighters would be modern day fights, i just dont think it would happen. YOU SAY THE GUYS ARE tougher becaue they didnt use mouth guards and fight the same guys over and over. i bet some fighters down aday wish they didnt use mouth guards and fought the same guy over and over. Hell i wish i could and i hate my mouthpiece.
